Powerplay-ready Digital Snake with Midas Pro Preamps

The Midas DL32 stage box represents a serious upgrade of your mixing console and in-ear monitoring rig with the sound of Midas Pro preamps. This 32-in/16-out AES50-networkable device makes adding a digital snake to your rig as easy as running a single Cat 5 cable, and you can daisy chain up to two DL32s together, so you can comfortably set 64 remote-controllable Midas Pro preamps onstage with plenty of returns to spare for monitor mixing. Speaking of monitor mixing, the DL32 is Ultraconnect capable, so you can easily integrate it into your Behringer Powerplay P16 personal monitoring system.

Midas DL32 Stage Box at a Glance:
  • Fully loaded with world-class Midas Pro microphone preamplifiers
  • Ultranet provides compatibility with Powerplay monitor systems
Fully loaded with world-class Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers

For generations of live-sound engineers and many seasoned sound reinforcement veterans here at Sweetwater, Midas preamps define the very sound of quality live sound. The Midas DL32 stage box puts 32 of these highly esteemed microphone preamplifiers in a 3U rack, so you can put them onstage, as close to the performers as possible so you can cut down on long cable runs. And thanks to its high headroom, low noise, and ADAT optical digital outputs, the DL32 also servers as an excellent studio preamp.

Ultranet provides compatibility with Powerplay monitor systems

Streamlined, affordable, and super-easy-to-use, everyone's raving about Behringer's Powerplay P16 personal monitoring systems. When you add a Midas DL32 stage box to your PA rig, you're not just getting a great set of remote-controllable preamps in a digital snake that lets you ditch tons of bulky cable, you're ready to add an advanced personal monitoring system directly inline with the rig you already have. That's because your DL32 comes equipped with Ultranet connectivity, which provides your Powerplay P16-M monitor controllers with a digital split straight from the stage.

Midas DL32 Stage Box Features:
  • Flexible professional digital stage box that works with Powerplay monitor systems and AES50-ready digital consoles
  • 32 x fully programmable and remote-controllable Midas Pro mic preamps give you exceptional sound, right from the stage
  • 16 x analog, servo-balanced XLR outputs let you send complete monitor mixes to the stage
  • AES50 network ports provide you with ultra-low latency digital audio that's in-ear compatible
  • Up to 328' of networking capability via a single lightweight Cat 5e cable (not included)
  • Dual AES50 ports let you cascade up to 2 DL32 units together for an up to 64-in/32-out system
  • Precise LED metering plus 7-segment displays let you keep a close eye on your levels
  • Headphones output assignable to any of the inputs/outputs for on-stage monitoring
  • Ultranet connectivity for Behringer's Powerplay P16 personal monitoring system is perfect for in-ear applications
  • Dual ADAT outputs for use in splitter mode and stand-alone digital multicore applications
  • MIDI In/Out provide bidirectional communication between FOH console and on-stage MIDI devices
  • Durable yet compact, all-steel 3U rack-mount chassis provides flexible mounting

Fantastic Piece of Hardware

I've owned a Midas DL32 Stage Box and use it in conjunction with the Midas M32C Mixer and Waves WRC1 Wireless Router in an 8-space rack box for about a year now. It's an incredibly light-weight set up that usually goes along with my Bose F1 Line Array/Subwoofer pairs. Reasonably compact as well, as it all fits in the bed of my 2008 Tundra (short bed) with the tonneau cover closed.

This stage box is well-built, but also extremely lightweight for what it contains (32 inputs, 32 preamps, and 16 outputs). All of the inputs have press-in locks, so you don't have to worry about cable snags unplugging stuff. It's also fairly shallow, so it won't take up a ton of space in your rack box. The pre-amps sound great; I've included a YouTube link to a live recording we made with this board/stage box combo so you can get an idea of the audio quality (we had good mics too, so that helps).

All in all, if you need lots of channels for your band (or want to run 2-3 bands backlining the same gig) and portability is important, this thing is perfect.

Great stagebox

Love the Midas DL32, much better noise floor than the Behringer S32.

Works seamlessly with my X32 & M32

This box has performed well after a year of touring. I have an X32 Monitor Mixer and M32 for FOH. This makes the connections easy between both mixers with a cat 5. Seamless transitions between the boards.

Noticeably Superior

It is so easy to route this into a Behribger Wing and these preamps are noticeably better than most other stageboxes/interfaces that I've used prior, love it!
