DL155 is a 2U 19" fixed-configuration rack I/O unit with 8 mic/line level inputs, 8 line level outputs and an 8 channel digital AES3 (AES/EBU) interface, and delivers legendary Midas sound quality utilising our time-tested and road-proven technologies. Featuring award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers with 2.5 dB analogue gain steps and two AES50 network ports providing dual redundancy, the DL155 is the ideal partner to all Midas PRO and M32 Series digital consoles, enabling a digital snake connection from Front of House to stage.
 
 
Midas – The Legend in Sound Quality
With two independent Midas mic preamps per input, the highest quality of sonic performance is guaranteed. And with dual-redundant network ports and power supplies, peace of mind comes as standard.
 
Digital Audio Networking
SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) digital audio networking technology from Klark Teknik simultaneously provides high channel counts, ultra low and deterministic latencies, sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection and correction, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use – to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring.
DL155 is compatible with all Midas digital consoles and audio system engines, as well as with any other AES50-equipped devices.
 
High Output Drive Line Outputs with Mute
DL155 features 8 active servo-balanced low impedance line level outputs with high output current capability for driving long cable runs.
 
AES3 Digital Audio Interface
DL155 features an 8 channel digital AES3 (AES/EBU) interface with 8 input channels and 8 output channels, each configured as four digital data streams on individual XLR connectors.DL155 features sample rate conversion for both inputs and outputs and can interface to equipment operating at 48 kHz and 96 kHz. Additionally, DL155 features external clock synchronisation for input channels and word length and clock source options (internal 48 kHz, internal 96 kHz or external synchronisation) for output channels.
 Each AES3 input connector has LED indication for synchronisation lock to the incoming digital data stream. The AES3 outputs feature an automatic mute facility if the audio signal path is muted by the mixing console operator, and individual LED indicators are provided for each output connector.
 
96 kHz or 48 kHz Operation
DL155 supports multiple sample rates for the AES50 connections - 96 kHz for use with MIDAS PRO Series, and 48 kHz for use with MIDAS M32 Series.
 
Remote Console or Front Panel Control
All configuration settings for DL155 can be set either remotely from the mixing console, or directly via the intuitive and easy to understand front panel. DL155 features a front panel LCD display with intuitive menu navigation for all configuration options with LED status indicators, which provide clear feedback of operational status over wide viewing angles and distances. Clear indication is provided showing power supply output rail condition and AES50 and Ethernet network connection status and activity.
 
Built for the Road
Featuring a rugged steel 2U rackmount enclosure, the DL155 is designed for the rigours of live concert touring. Premium industry standard-connectors are used for reliable audio and network connections, night after night.
 
Auto-Ranging Universal Switch-Mode Power Supply
DL155 features a universal power supply, which is auto-voltage sensing for use on a worldwide basis.
