Product Description
- Superior audio fidelity with Midas preamps The DL16 is equipped with 16 Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers ensuring outstanding sound quality with crystal-clear audio capture. Each preamp supports switchable +48 V phantom power catering to both dynamic and condenser microphones. This feature is critical for live sound engineers and recording studios demanding high fidelity and consistency in audio quality providing a reliable foundation for both live performances and studio recordings. Advanced connectivity for versatile setups Featuring dual AES50 SuperMAC ports the DL16 offers massive connectivity options allowing for cascading additional DL-series stageboxes without the need for a merger or router. This setup flexibility is enhanced by ULTRANET networking capabilities which facilitate direct connections to personal monitoring systems and compatible Turbosound speaker systems. The inclusion of dual ADAT outputs enables integration with outboard equipment expanding routing possibilities and making the DL16 a central hub for complex audio setups. Designed for demanding environments The DL16s rugged 2U rackmount chassis is built to withstand the demands of touring and permanent installations. Its fanless design ensures silent operation crucial in live sound and studio environments. Additionally the DL16&rsquo
- s compact form factor makes it ideal for venues where space is at a premium providing exceptional performance without occupying excessive rack space. Remote control and monitoring for efficient workflows Remote operation capabilities of the DL16 streamline sound checks and adjustments allowing engineers to control settings directly from the front panel or a connected console. The stage boxs design facilitates quick and accurate setup with status indicator LEDs and a headphones output for convenient on-stage monitoring. This combination of remote controllability and direct signal monitoring is invaluable for ensuring optimal sound levels and system functionality during live events.
