Midas DN4888 StageConnect - 32. Channels on a Single XLR! 🤯

In this short video we're looking at the Midas DN4888 StageConnect audio interface. These interfaces come in three different flavors, and the StageConnect protocol can transport up to 32 channels of uncompressed digital audio on a single XLR cable back to your mixer. Let me know in the comments if you've tried them already & what you think!

There is also a usb to Stageconnect box. Very cool technology to add to the wing

[@16LiveRecords]

I love my 16 output model as expansion of my DL16 on Midas M32C mobile rack. Also I did many times IEM system with MR18 with 16 outputs as digital splitter. Theese modules are beast as P16. StageConnect is heaven, I've never had a chance to enter. Wing is no go for me. 😊

[@alicino2]

I have a question for you, wouldn't be cheaper to use the Behringer ADA8200 with ADAT on the DL16?

[@gideonpeprah]

@@16LiveRecords Your name is 16 live records. Everything 16 should work perfectly for you 😀😊🤣

[@GuillaumeLortie]

Great coverage of this units !

[@DcSoundOp]

@@GuillaumeLortie Thanks Guillaume, have you used any of these yet with your wing? Hope you’re doing well.

[@GuillaumeLortie]

@@DcSoundOp Im waiting for the Rack to drop before adding a 8x8 to it. It will be bar small Bar rig. Hope your doing well! Always fun to watch your videos

[@IntheDAW]

now i want to buy a wing even more

[@johanneshalvorsen275]

Question: Can these boxes be used stand alone, without a Behringer/Midas mixer? A pair of these (or probabbly a pair of the I/O models) could be a nice replacement for an analog multicore in a setup with e.g. an older analog mixer.

[@dallasphill]

Yes... you can pair them up to make digital snakes!

[@DcSoundOp]

@@johanneshalvorsen275 Yes, I believe @dallasphill is correct. I’m working on getting another one in to test myself and do a video about it. Thanks for watching.

[@benchdawn]

Never heard of something like this. I don't work in live sound. Does this only work with Midas? Is this proprietary to stage connect? I'm not familiar with stage connect either. I have a sound devices scorpio I don't imagine I can plug into that. Does it work with any computer? Already using Dante for functionality like this. Thank you, Sam

[@DcSoundOp]

@@benchdawn Hey Sam, it’s a proprietary thing and won’t integrate with your Scorpio the way Dante does. It sounds like you’ve got a pretty good setup figured out already though, what kind of location work are you doing? Thanks for the message!

[@puertoricovirtualevents2002]

Can you make a video using it as a stand alone snake like the CATboxes. But 8ch if it is posible of course.

[@DcSoundOp]

@@puertoricovirtualevents2002 I do believe it’s possible to use these in a standalone configuration, but I’d have to get another one to test that and do a video on it here. I’ll see what I can do, thanks for the suggestion & for watching!

[@puertoricovirtualevents2002]

@@DcSoundOp Of course you are great !! Keep the great work !!

[@donaldburns4462]

A little confused on why I would use this. I cannot use for vocal mics or instruments.

[@DcSoundOp]

@@donaldburns4462 If you use wireless mics or transmitters for instruments those all output line level. Same thing for powered monitors and wireless in ears on the output side.

[@reganroman]

I have one with the 16 outputs. I’m going to use it with my XR18 via Ultraner. When routing, this is only for the Buses or the equipment function for the Main L/R
