Specifications
Audio System Signal Router
Midas DL461
The DL461 is a 3U 19” rack unit, which performs the stage-to-console link using a single
CAT-5e cable (under 100 metres) or bre-optic link (up to 500 metres) for the XL8 with
redundant backup links.
In addition to audio and control connections to the ten DSP modules it features ten AES50
connections for local I/O, as well as BNC and AES3 word clock interfaces and Ethernet
tunnel. Dual DL461s are supplied with each XL8 system providing full network redundancy
to both FoH and I/O units.
Overview:
A Two DL461s included in a XL8 Live Performance System
A Integrated open-architecture AES50 digital audio distribution
A Fully duplicated network for redundancy
A Up to 100 metres of dual redundant connectivity between hardware elements with
CAT-5e
A Up to 500m of dual redundant connectivity between DL461 and control surface with
optical bre
A Automatic integral delay management system - audio outputs time and phase coherent
A Flexible, expandable hardware system
A Ethernet TCP-IP tunnel at 10Mbits/sec for third parties
A 3U
Audio System Signal Processor
Midas DL471
The DL471 is a 1U 19” rack unit, which forms part of the XL8 modular DSP engine.
It features its own discrete power supply, AES50 and Ethernet interfaces, as well as a
dual, ultra high-speed, contra-rotating and self healing data loop for direct processor to
processor communications.
Each XL8 system includes ten DL471 units of which one is a redundant hot spare (n+1
resilience model).
Overview:
A Ten DL471s included in a XL8 Live Performance System
A Dual redundant AES50 ports
A Dual redundant Ethernet ports
A Advanced FPGA architecture
A 4.8 Gigaops of processing power per DL471
A 1U
