The Midas Monitor System Hub boasts PoE remote powering for up to 4 DP48 personal mixers and stage boxes. It features AES50 IN and THRU ports for cascading hubs or stage boxes, delivering 48 bidirectional channels at 48/44.1 kHz.

The hub has 16 balanced analogue outputs for 4×2 personal stereo mixes to IEM transmitters, reducing setup time. It supports channel naming and group assignments from M32 consoles and powers Midas DL8 stage boxes via ports 1-4.

The hub allows personal mix monitoring via AES50 upstream to consoles and supports remote control forwarding of DP48 mixers. The StageConnect output with phantom power connects StageConnect devices, sharing 32-channel audio over standard XLR or DMX cables.
