Strong match

Who this is for

  • Live rigs using compatible Midas digital consoles
  • Stage setups that need 32 microphone inputs at the source
  • Monitor and stage-output routing that benefits from 16 balanced XLR outputs
  • Larger productions that can cascade two DL32 units for 64 inputs and 32 outputs

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Systems that do not use compatible AES50/Midas-console connectivity
  • Setups needing USB recording or playback, as the listed USB Type-B port is for system updates
