Description

The XL48 from Midas Is an eight-channel microphone preamp featuring the company's XL4 preamps, each with swept high- and low-pass filters, and eight super-low jitter XL8 analogue-to-digital convertors, all housed in a 19" single-space rack-mount chassis. Applications for the unit include portable recording rigs, analogue and/or digital splits between consoles, or improving the input stage of other digital consoles with microphone preamps, convertors, and a reference-grade clock.

The preamp provides analogue and digital outputs, the latter in both ADAT and AES/EBU formats. A total of five outputs can be used simultaneously, making it a multifunctional analogue/digital microphone splitter, as well as being able to add eight external channel sources to a mix. Multiple clocking options are available, including synching to external Wordclock. Additional features include 8-segment LED input metres, individual phantom power, polarity invert, and a -20 dB pad. All inputs are on Neutrik XLR connectors, and duplicated on a 25-pin D-Sub connector.
