Midas Consoles have launched their latest product, the DL8. This new StageBox is a compact, yet powerful solution designed to enhance live audio setups with a range of advanced features, ensuring a seamless and high-quality sound experience for live performances.

The DL8 is an 8-input, 8-output StageBox powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), featuring the acclaimed Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers and two powered ULTRANET monitoring outputs. Building on Midas’ legacy of excellence, the DL8 incorporates cutting-edge digital mixing technology that has become a cornerstone in the live entertainment industry. 

One of the standout features of the DL8 is its integration of a 16-channel personal monitoring bus via the ULTRANET distribution hub. This allows for powered connections to up to two personal monitoring mixers, providing performers with direct and customisable control over their audio feeds. Additionally, the DL8 offers digital audio and remote-control capabilities for Turbosound speaker systems, expanding its utility in various live sound environments.

The DL8 is equipped with eight of Midas' award-winning PRO microphone preamplifiers, known for their exceptional clarity and detail. Each preamp includes switchable 48 V phantom power, making the unit versatile and adaptable to different microphone setups. The StageBox also boasts eight electronically balanced low impedance line level outputs, ensuring high-quality signal distribution across the stage.
 
Designed with ease of use in mind, the DL8 can be powered via AES50 PoE from compatible Midas hubs, such as the HUB4 and HUB4 PRO StageBoxes. This setup simplifies the process of adding extra audio components, making it an efficient and user-friendly solution for sound engineers. The DL8 also includes an internal switched-mode power supply, which enhances its flexibility and operational efficiency.

The release of the DL8 StageBox reaffirms Midas’ commitment to providing top-tier audio solutions for live performances, ensuring that sound professionals have the tools they need to deliver exceptional audio quality on any stage.
