ULTRANET – Seamless Integration
The world-renowned engineers at KLARK TEKNIK, MIDAS, TURBOSOUND and BEHRINGER have
all come together to create something truly innovative that will change live and studio work ow
forever – ULTRANET. This revolutionary technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent
channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single CAT5 cable between compatible
digital devices – including mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers and personal monitoring
systems. Advantages realized through ULTRANET digital networking, versus traditional analog
methods: audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is
eliminated; and ease of setup translates directly into signi cant time saved during installation.
ULTRANET e ectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled control over every
element of your audio production environment from one convenient location.
MIDAS - The Legend in Sound Quality
Ever since our formation in the 1970s, we have had a long history of innovation and leadership in the
world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations world-
wide, our XL4 and Heritage H3000 consoles quickly became industry standards.
We have built an impeccable reputation for our no-compromise approach to audio and build quality,
and in particular for our Award-winning Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as
the industry's best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the DL16 features 16 of the very same
preampli ers that are used in our highly-acclaimed PRO Series consoles.
ADAT-Ready
Many manufacturers have adopted the ADAT digital interface as a means of transferring digital
data between certain types of audio devices, such as mixers, synthesizers, lighting rigs and
e ect processors. The DL16’s onboard ADAT Outputs enable splitting the high-quality MIDAS Pro
Series preamp signals to outboard devices – including recording systems. When more channels
are required, these optical sockets can alternately be used to connect ADAT-equipped D/A
converters (such as the Behringer ADA8200) for up to 16 additional analogue outputs.
