Professional StageConnect Interface
The Midas DN4888 is a bus-powered audio component that adds eight balanced XLR analogue inputs and outputs to a monitor or front-of-house console. It targets live sound engineers and audio professionals who need scalable I/O expansion without an external power supply.
Expanding Analogue Insert Capacity
This unit replaces the need for a separate multi-channel snake or additional stage box when a console runs out of analogue insert points. The upgrade is worth it when you must integrate eight wireless microphones or in-ear systems and want automatic channel negotiation across daisy-chained units.
Rack Integration and Cabling
The interface fits into standard rack workflows using Ultranet RJ45 links, USB Type B for computer connection, and StageConnect over XLR cables carrying 32 channels of 24-bit 48 kHz PCM at 0.05 ms latency. A 110 Ohm DMX cable is recommended for long runs, freeing up analogue multicore infrastructure.
