The DL251 from MIDAS is a 5U 19" rackmount fixed-configuration I/O unit with forty-eight microphone/line inputs and sixteen line outputs. Limited to analogue connections, the unit provides a more cost-effective solution for those not needing the flexibility of MIDAS modular I/O hardware.
MIDI (In, Out, Through) connectors and an Ethernet control port are fitted as standard. Three AES50 ports handle the (n+1) redundant digital audio interface. The DL251 is capable of being switched between 96 kHz and 48 kHz via the front panel.
A rear panel "Mute All Outputs" button is provided for aiding in onstage re-patching. The unit is also equipped with dual-redundant, universal power supplies.
