Midas DN4888 8×8 StageConnect Interface

The DN4888 8×8 StageConnect interface from Midas is the perfect way to connect additional equipment to your monitor or front-of-house console. With eight extra balanced analog inputs and outputs, it enables easy integration of external effects processors, wireless microphone systems, in-ear monitors and more. The DN4888 can be connected in a chain with other StageConnect devices using a single XLR cable for multi-channel audio transmission, providing a scalable solution that meets the needs of any live-performance setup.

Link Multiple StageConnect Devices Over a Single XLR Cable

The innovative StageConnect protocol allows the DN4888 to transmit and receive up to 32 channels of uncompressed 24-bit digital audio at 48kHz over a standard XLR cable with minimal latency. You can daisy chain multiple DN4888 units, automatically negotiating the channel routing between interfaces. Whether you need extra inputs at the stage or outputs at the mixer rack, StageConnect provides a simple and reliable way to get the I/O configuration you need with the flexibility to add or reconfigure devices at any time.

Automatic Channel Routing Between Interfaces Streamlines Setup

Setting up a multi-device StageConnect chain is a breeze thanks to the system’s automatic bus configuration. Just connect the devices in sequence and the chain will automatically optimize and assign the inputs and outputs between units based on what’s available. The DN4888 interfaces will negotiate channels seamlessly, removing the need to manually configure routing. You can optimize and pre-plan setups using the StageConnect Calculator software tool.

Power Equipment Over StageConnect or DC Power Supply

The DN4888 offers flexible powering options to meet the needs of your live rig. It can be powered over StageConnect, taking advantage of the 18W power supply provided by the StageConnect master device in your chain. Alternatively, the DN4888 can be powered via a standard DC power supply for standalone operation. Intelligent power management ensures stability across multi-device StageConnect chains.

Integrate ULTRANET Devices Into the StageConnect Ecosystem

The DN4888 includes connectivity for the widely adopted ULTRANET protocol, enabling integration of compatible devices like P16 stage monitors, AIR series mixers and Turbosound speakers into a StageConnect setup. With the DN4888 handling the translation between protocols, you can incorporate existing ULTRANET gear into the innovative StageConnect ecosystem.

Compact Yet Highly Scalable for Any Application

In the compact 1U form factor, the DN4888 provides an extremely flexible audio interface solution. With the ability to combine multiple units over a single cable, you can scale up inputs and outputs to meet the needs of any live performance or installation setup. Whether you need I/O for side fill monitors, broadcast feeds, recording stems or wireless systems, the DN4888 has you covered.
