HUB4 PRO System Hubs and Distribution Modules Midas

Analog Outputs for IEM Transmitters

HUB4 PRO features 16 balanced line-level outputs that can carry the 8 stereo mixes from the connected DP48 mixers for connections in the side rack. There is no need to run additional lines from personal mixers to the transmitters, reducing setup time and reliability considerably. Alternatively, these analogue outputs can also be used as spare outputs on stage receiving signals directly from the FOH consoles, e.g. for providing talkback or side fill outputs.

StageConnect Interface

The innovative StageConnect interface yields additional flexibility for routing signals in, out, and through the HUB4 PRO. With just one standard XLR cable you can expand the total i/o capacity by 32 channels of lowest latency, impeccable 24-Bit audio. Connect a Midas DN4816-O here, for putting out 16 impedance-balanced line signals directly in the side rack, where the IEM transmitters are mounted.  Or add another DN4816-I for collecting the signals of up to 16 wireless receivers for sending their signals through HUB4 PRO upstream to the mixing console. DN4816-U can be used to bridge USB audio with Ultranet and StageConnect in a compact rugged DI box case. Adding convenient and cost-efficient I/O flexibility is now on a level of its own with StageConnect. 

Support from Midas M32 and Heritage D Series Consoles

HUB4 PRO can convey control messages from M32 FOH consoles to DP48 personal mixers, as well as remote control messages between DP48 units.

Midas DP48 Personal Monitor Mixers support remote control of other DP48 units and can also receive control information from M32 and Heritage D Series Consoles. This control information includes assignments, names and colors of channels, which are transmitted via AES50 for easy configuration of personal mixers. HUB4 PRO can convey control messages from the FOH console to personal mixers as well as between personal mixers. This control message system works when DP48 units are connected to Ports 1-4 or to the ports on daisy-chained hubs.

Midas DL8 PoE (Power over Ethernet) Powered Stage Boxes

HUB4 PRO easily interfaces with the new Midas DL8 stage box, which makes bulky analog sub-snakes a thing of the past. The DL8 stage box can be connected to one of HUB4 PRO Ports 1-4 using only a simple CAT5E STP cable. This cable connection from HUB4 PRO can directly power up to 4 stage boxes via PoE support – IEEE802.3at per port – allowing for shorter analogue lines on stage.
