Midas DN4888 Bus-Powered StageConnect Interface 8 in/8 out +
Description
The Midas DN4888 provides a dead-simple solution for piping eight channels of analog I/O over a StageConnect network. This bus-powered interface features eight line-level analog inputs, eight line-level analog outputs, and two Ethernet ports: one to connect to Ultranet receivers, and a second to output the eight onboard analog input channels. Configuring the DN4888 is a piece of cake via a built-in Synchronization switch. You also get an LED that indicates a successful connection to a StageConnect network, plus a power LED and a USB port for firmware updates. Here at Sweetwater, we've used the DN4888 for a whole host of essential applications. If you want to route eight channels of analog I/O audio over a convenient Ethernet cable, the Midas DN4888 is a great way to go.
The StageConnect interface can be connected to other StageConnect devices using a single XLR cable for multi-channel audio transmission. There are various I/O options available providing easily scalable connectivity in your side rack. The devices of the DN48XX Series can be daisy-chained and will negotiate the channels for their respective connectivity automatically.
