The Midas DL431 Input Splitter Unit is a 6U 19" rack fixed configuration unit which features 24 mic/line inputs. Each input feeds three separate preamps, two with separate gain controls, the third being fixed gain. The two variable-gain preamps feed separate ADCs, which then pass 96 kHz digital audio to the AES50 ports. Four discrete AES50 outputs supply dual-redundant digital audio to AES50 networks, and allow for easy connection to any AES50 device, such as an HD recorder, network bridge, or mixing console. Two balanced analog splits (sourced post each mic amp) are provided on the rear panel. The third, fixed-gain preamp feeds a transformer-isolated split on the front panel for recording or broadcast applications. The two variable gain preamps are remote controllable from two separate locations, such as front of house and monitor positions. Front panel controls and local monitoring with integral headphone amplifier also make the DL431 usable as a standalone device. Also, its integral dual-redundant power supplies are designed to ensure peace of mind at all times.
