XL8 Live Performance System
Touring
The touring version of the XL8 Live Performance System has been especially 
congured for high prole concerts, festivals and major events. Main inputs 
are connected via DL431 remote control 5-way mic splitters which have three 
fully independent non-interacting mic pres per input. Two of these are remote 
controllable (2.5dB steps) and the third is xed gain, feeding out as analogue via 
isolating transformers. The two remote control mic pres separately feed both MIDAS 
digital networks and analogue outputs. The DL431 units can be shared by the 
FOH and monitor XL8 consoles providing a cost eective system but still retaining 
independent analogue mic pre remote gain control for the two engineers. Both 
MIDAS digital network connections are duplicated for redundancy and the DL431 
also has dual-redundant power supplies.
Audio outputs are routed to any of the 5 supplied DL451 congurable I/O units, each 
of which can have up to 24 outputs and 24 inputs depending on I/O card options 
tted. Any DL451 (and DL431) unit can be up to 100m from either the stage router or 
FOH location. The stage router can be up to 500m from FOH. All of these connections 
are dual redundant, as are the network routers.
