The DL8 Stage Box provides 8 of our award-winning Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers with switchable +48 V phantom power; 8 electronically balanced low impedance line level; integrated ULTRANET distribution hub for connecting to Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers or Turbosound speaker systems; plus dual AES50 SuperMAC ports for cascading additional StageBoxes.

ULTRANET – Seamless Integration

Engineers at Midas, Klark Teknik, Turbosound and Behringer have come together to create a rock-solid, easy to deploy, lowest-latency, long-distance, multi-channel audio transmission interface. The Ultranet technology has meanwhile proven to seamlessly transmit 16 channels of 24-bit audio over standard CAT5 cable up to 75m length, in hundreds of thousands of applications world-wide -- connecting mixers, I/O boxes, powered loudspeakers and personal monitoring systems.  Ultranet effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that combines highest reliability, with unparalleled ease of use and flexibility.

Dual AES50 Ports for Massive Connectivity

Connecting over a single shielded (STP) CAT5 cable, up to three DL8s can be daisy-chained to deliver 48 channels in and 48 out to the stage. Klark Teknik’s AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely low and deterministic latencies, accurate phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, with simple deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of the live performance industry. This unique combination also benefits both live and studio recording applications, as well as post-production, broadcasting and audio routing infrastructure.

Unparalleled Performance

The DL8 digital stage box is the ideal 8 x 8 signal distribution solution thanks to our legendary remote controllable mic preamps, Klark Teknik’s AES50 connectivity and a wealth of other professional-grade features. Built tough enough to withstand the rigors of the road, the DL8 only takes up two rack spaces and connects to FOH with a single, inexpensive CAT5 cable. Now you can have the missing link between the stage and FOH at a fraction of the cost of competing systems – and we back it up with a comprehensive warranty program.
