Overview

Product description from Midas

HyperMAC Signal Routing for the XL8 System

The DL461 is the optical and copper signal router at the heart of every Midas XL8 live audio system. Engineered for the most demanding touring and broadcast environments, it carries 192 bidirectional channels between the XL8 Control Surface and the rest of the system over copper CAT5/5e or single-mode optical fibre, with snake runs up to 500 m on fibre or 100 m on copper. Every XL8 ships with two DL461 units configured for dual-redundant X and Y operation, so a single cable fault never interrupts the show.

Dense AES50 & Ethernet Connectivity

Ten AES50 and ten Ethernet control ports connect to DL471 Audio System Signal Processors and ten additional AES50 ports handle stage-box traffic. An automatic delay-management system keeps every channel time- and phase-coherent across the network, regardless of cable length or topology.
