U do a great job helping listeners understand!

Excellent overview. Greatly appreciated bro!

RICARDO HYLTON thanks Ricardo!

Great information - thank you for taking the time to provide this overview. Super excited about this monitor mixer. Massive upgrade from the P16. 48 channels, on board recording, on board reverb/compression, 2 separate mixes of 48 channels, no scribble strips. Now because we use wireless IEMs - Im wondering how this works in terms of physically taking the out of the mix from the DB48 and sending it to the Wireless IEM transmitter which sits back in the rack with the X32/S16. If you can just pull the mix off a pair of XLR outs and cable that to the wireless transmitters in the rack (like we currently do) we'd be in business. But of we'd have to run 1/4" to XLR cables physically from the outputs of the DB48 back to the rack - thats messy. Could use stage snakes but hoping we can just dial up the DB48 mix in the software and send that to the XLR outs on the X32 and be done.

BBloom thanks for watching! I’ll be doing more of these in the future, so be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already :) From what I can gather, you’ll be able to send your mix back over AES50, meaning that mix will be available to route on your console to your physical XLR outputs. I can’t say the exact steps as the 4.0 software update hasn’t been released or even announced yet, but the copy in the advertisement for the DP48 was pretty clear about this being possible.

[@Nightwatch33]

@@ChurchTechTalks Actually the 4.0 software was announced on a german website. Posted on some forums, but the original article seems to have been taken down. Main upgrade seem to be in routing (no longer limited to routing in blocks of 8).

[@ChurchTechTalks]

BBloom I heard that too, but wasn’t able to find the source, we’ll know soon I’m sure!

If I buy my own DP48 can I sit near the soundboard and dial up my own mix? ;)

[@northtrader]

6:14 Did you ever figure out if the local click input could be distributed to other DP48 units connected to the system?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Actually, Music Group contacted me after I made this and they said they loved the idea, sent me some pre-release units, and I’ve been working with them and giving feedback for all the DP48 software updates! They did add the click feature :)

[@northtrader]

@@ChurchTechTalks So, if I understand you correctly, a musician on stage can play a local click into his own DP48 and have his local click appear as an available channel in the other members DP48 units?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

@@northtrader I believe so, though I haven’t tried it yet. It should come through on AES50A 39 & 40. I’d refer you to music groups line diagram of the DP48’s routing mediadl.musictribe.com/download/software/midas/HUB4/HUB4_Routing_Diagram.pdf

[@dmcmahon999]

Do you do consulting for specific church applications?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Shoot me an email as to what you’re looking to be consulted on and if I can’t do it, I can definitely refer you to someone who can! Scott @ reliance church . org (Take out the spaces obviously :)

[@luisutrilla5168]

Hello Scot, I'm luis from Brussels, Belgium and we would like to add the DP48's to our Midas Pro X, we have 1 DL 251 and 1 DL 153 with Neutron and Neutron NB, I was told for an spetialist from Midas that we need to incorporate a Midas MR18 rack in order to get the DP48's to work, could you pleae help me to do the set up?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

That doesn't sound right to me. The MR18 doesn't have any AES50 ports on it, so I don't know how he would expect to connect that to your DL251. Beyond that, your Midas Pro X is going to run at 96k, which none of the Midas M or Behringer X stuff can do. What you actually need is a DN9650 and a KT-AES50 card. This will convert your AES50 run from 96k to 48k and allow you to connect directly to a Hub4 and to the DP48's.

[@dobel1974]

hello is it possible to connect yamaha h8 2x monitor to the dp 48?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Yes. In fact, you could hook up four Yamaha H8's. It's got two stereo outputs. One stereo output for Mix A and another stereo output for Mix B.

[@dobel1974]

I must also fit into a video table which is in mono jack 1/4 ... so I know how to put my 2 x monitors + 1x 1/4 c jack is possible this configuration?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

@@dobel1974 I’m not exactly sure what your configuration is based on your description, but the DP48 has two stereo 1/4 outputs and two mono 1/4 outputs, so you can look at your setup and determine if that will work for you :) good luck!
