Midas DN4816-I 16-Input StageConnect Interface

Step into a new era of connectivity with the DN4816-I 16-input StageConnect interface from Midas. As one of the first I/O interfaces based on the groundbreaking StageConnect standard, the DN4816-I offers you seamless integration into an innovative ecosystem engineered for the future. With the ability to cascade up to 32 channels of pristine uncompressed audio, this interface makes it simple to build a scalable side rack that meets the needs of your live performance or recording studio setup.

Seamlessly Integrate Into the StageConnect Ecosystem

At the heart of the DN4816-I is StageConnect, a trailblazing new interface protocol that allows you to transmit multi-channel audio, control data, MIDI and power all through a standard XLR cable. This opens up limitless possibilities for interconnecting audio devices like wireless systems, effects units, playback devices and more. The DN4816-I provides an ideal bridge into the StageConnect ecosystem, letting you tap into the potential of this technology through its 16 combo inputs. With the ability to daisy-chain multiple units, you can build a side rack system with flexible I/O configurations to suit your connectivity requirements.

Cascade Up to 32 Channels of Pristine Audio

A key advantage of StageConnect is easy scalability through daisy-chaining. The DN4816-I makes it simple to add more I/O channels just by connecting additional interfaces in series. In total, you can achieve up to 32 channels of pristine 24-bit audio at 48kHz across the chain. Whether you need to accommodate a high channel count wireless system or integrate playback devices and outboard effects, the DN4816-I gives you the flexibility to tailor your setup.

16 Combo Inputs Offer Versatile Connectivity

At your fingertips are 16 balanced combo inputs to integrate line level sources into the StageConnect chain. The universal jacks accept either XLR or 1/4" connections, providing broad compatibility with equipment like wireless receivers, instruments, audio interfaces and playback devices. With the ability to combine multiple DN4816-I units, you can build out your I/O count to 32 inputs or even add 16 inputs and 16 outputs. This extensive flexibility makes the DN4816-I ideal for both live sound and studio applications.

Automatic Configuration for Quick and Easy Setups

StageConnect devices feature automatic configuration to simplify your workflow. Just connect the DN4816-I and other interfaces in your chain and the system will automatically negotiate channels and routing. This saves you time and headaches compared to manually configuring complex I/O setups. With the ability to power devices over StageConnect as well, the DN4816-I integrates seamlessly into a plug-and-play ecosystem designed for ease of use.

Reliable Performance With Uncompressed Audio

In the new era of StageConnect, you can break free from the limitations of latency, interference and degradation over long cable runs. This interface reliably transmits 32 channels of uncompressed 24-bit digital audio for pristine quality. Even at distances up to 300', you'll enjoy an uncompressed signal chain with ultralow latency perfect for live sound. The DN4816-I brings robust, road-ready performance to your side rack setup.
