    Before we begin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Behringer X32 and Midas M32 have the same menus, buttons, and functionality, so this article applies to both mixers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Register with Midas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before you start using your DP48, you must first register the device with Midas. Upon registration, you\u2019ll receive a free 3-year extended warranty. The registration is only valid for the first 90 days after purchase, so register it as soon as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    DP48 Setup and Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once registered, it\u2019s time to connect the DP48 to your mixer. The AES50 connection is required and sends audio from the mixer to the DP48. Each DP48 must also be powered using either the included power supply or Power of Ethernet (PoE) from the AES50 connection. AES50 with PoE is only available on the HUB4<\/a> and will only power the first device connected to each port. Additional mixers connected via THRU will require power supply adapters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    IMPORTANT! <\/strong>
    Turn both MONITOR MIX <\/strong>knobs all the way down before turning the unit on. This ensures no sudden, loud signal passes through which can potentially damage drivers (or hurt your ears!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Connect the DP48’s AES50 IN<\/strong> port to its source with a Cat5-e cable:
