Premium Midas PRO Preamps for Pristine Input Quality

At the heart of the DL32 are 32 Midas PRO microphone preamps, celebrated worldwide for their warmth, transparency, and outstanding dynamic range. Placing these preamps right on stage ensures the cleanest possible signal path, capturing every nuance of vocals, instruments, and backline equipment before any long cable runs.

The DL32 provides professional-grade front-end quality that elevates your entire mix from the start.

Perfect Integration With Midas Digital Consoles

The DL32 is designed to integrate flawlessly with Midas digital consoles such as the M32, PRO Series, and compatible AES50-enabled systems. Once connected with a single Cat5 cable:

• All 32 preamps can be controlled directly from the console

• Audio is routed with ultra-low latency

• Setup becomes simpler, cleaner, and more efficient

This seamless connection forms a powerful digital ecosystem that expands your I/O capacity without compromising quality or reliability.

16 Balanced XLR Outputs for Stage Monitoring and Routing

In addition to its 32 inputs, the DL32 delivers 16 balanced XLR outputs right where you need them—on stage. These outputs are ideal for powering:

• In-ear monitor systems

• Stage wedges

• Side fills

• Front fills

• External processors or amps

With premium Midas DAC technology, your stage mixes benefit from detailed, musical, and dynamic output quality.

Advanced Connectivity: AES50, ADAT, MIDI, and USB

The DL32 offers extensive connectivity options to support a fully integrated stage workflow:

• AES50 networking for console integration and cascading

• ADAT optical I/O for adding digital processors, external mic pres, or recording devices

• MIDI In/Out for controlling lighting rigs, amp modelers, and stage equipment

• USB for convenient computer recording or playback

This wide range of I/O options makes the DL32 a flexible hub for complex live setups.

Cascade Up to Two DL32 Units for Massive I/O

For large concerts, festivals, and multi-band events, you can cascade two DL32 units via AES50 to expand your system to:
