A Fully Fortified, PoE-equipped Stage Box The Midas DL8 is a PoE-equipped stage box that houses eight high-quality Midas Pro mic preamps and eight balanced line-level outputs. This stage box provides you with switchable 48-volt phantom power, along with two Ultranet outputs for seamless integration with Behringer personal monitoring mixers and Turbosound speaker systems. You get remote operation up to 330 feet over a single shielded Cat 5e cable, along with two AES50 SuperMAC ports that make cascading additional stage boxes a piece of cake — no external networking hardware required. Here at Techno Tribe, we’re duly impressed by the rugged reliability provided by the DL8’s near-bulletproof chassis and rock-solid Neutrik Ethercon network ports. An auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply rounds out this feature-laden stage box.
