Dual Independent Midas Microphone Preamplifiers: The Midas DL231 features two award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers for each input. This design ensures exceptional sound quality and allows for flexible signal routing. With switchable +48 V phantom power, these preamps accommodate a wide range of microphones, making the DL231 versatile for various audio setups.

Robust AES50 Connectivity: Equipped with dual redundant AES50 network ports, the DL231 provides reliable and seamless integration into modern digital audio systems. This feature enables phase-locked loop synchronization, ensuring stable connections and preventing signal loss during critical performances. The design is ideal for complex setups requiring multiple devices to work in harmony.

Selectable Sample Rate Operation: The DL231 supports selectable sample rates of 96 kHz or 48 kHz, allowing users to tailor the mixer to their specific audio needs. This flexibility is essential for ensuring compatibility with various audio equipment, making it suitable for both studio recording and live sound applications.

Remote Operation Capability: Users can operate the DL231 remotely from up to 100 meters away via CAT5/5e cable. This capability is especially useful during live performances, enabling sound engineers to manage audio signals without being physically near the equipment. It enhances workflow and efficiency in dynamic environments.

Rugged 5U Rackmount Chassis: Built to endure the rigors of portable applications, the DL231 comes in a rugged 5U rackmount chassis. This durable design protects the internal components from damage during transport, ensuring reliability in demanding conditions.

Dual Redundant Power Supplies: The DL231 includes dual redundant auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supplies, which provide continuous operation during live events. This redundancy is crucial for maintaining audio performance and reliability, even in the event of a power failure.

MIDI and Ethernet Control Integration: The inclusion of MIDI In, Out, and Thru connectors, along with an Ethernet control port, allows for easy integration within the Midas product ecosystem. This feature enhances the DL231’s versatility, enabling it to be part of more extensive audio setups while providing seamless control options.
