Hookup Diagrams The DL16 Digital Snake is a 16-in, 8-out stagebox that features AES50 networking with KLARK TEKNIK SuperMac technology. Designed with multiple scenarios in mind, the DL16 works equally well as a standalone pair for use with analog mixing consoles, or as part of the trio of MIDAS digital mixing solutions along with the M32 digital mixer and the BEHRINGER P16 personal monitoring system.

The STATUS LEDs indicate the current settings. By holding the CONFIG knob while turning the SELECT/ADJUST knob, you can scroll through all 10 configuration options. See the Operation Mode Chart for the routing details of each configuration setting.
10 MIDAS DL16 User Manual 4.1 Standard Operation The DL16 is in Standard (default) mode when all the configuration STATUS LEDs on the front display are off. This is useful for using the unit as a digital snake along with the MIDAS M32 console to conveniently transfer 16 channels from the stage to FOH, and send 40 total channels back to the stage.
12 13 MIDAS DL16 User Manual 5. Standalone Operation 7. Specifications The DL16 does not necessarily need to be used in conjunction with the M32 console. A pair of DL16 units can be linked to send 16 channels to and from the stage, providing a high-quality digital snake that can work with any analog mixer. In this scenario, a master DL16 will be placed at FOH near the main mixing console, and the other on the stage (see ’DL16 as standalone snake’ hookup diagram).
