Digital Audio Networking:
SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) digital audio networking technology from Klark Teknik simultaneously provides high channel counts, ultra low and deterministic latencies, sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection and correction, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use – to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring.
DL152 is compatible with all Midas digital consoles and audio system engines, as well as with any other AES50-equipped devices.
High Output Drive Line Outputs with Mute:
DL152 features 24 active servo-balanced low impedance line level outputs with high output current capability for driving long cable runs.
The outputs feature an automatic mute facility if the audio signal path is muted by the mixing console operator, and individual LED indicators are provided for each output connector.
96 kHz or 48 kHz Operation:
DL152 supports multiple sample rates for the AES50 connections - 96 kHz for use with Midas PRO Series, and 48 kHz for use with Midas M32 Series.
Remote Console or Front Panel Control:
All configuration settings for DL152 can be set either remotely from the mixing console, or directly via the intuitive and easy to understand front panel. DL152 features a front panel LCD display with intuitive menu navigation for all configuration options with LED status indicators, which provide clear feedback of operational status over wide viewing angles and distances. Clear indication is provided showing power supply output rail condition and AES50 and Ethernet network connection status and activity.
Built for the Road:
Featuring a rugged steel 2U rackmount enclosure, the DL152 is designed for the rigours of live concert touring. Premium Neutrik connectors are used for reliable audio and network connections, night after night.
