DESCRIPTION

The MIDAS HUB4 supplies PoE remote power for up to four DP48 personal mixers and compatible stage boxes. This personal monitoring hub includes AES50 connectivity for daisy-chaining hubs or stage boxes with 48 bidirectional channels of 24-bit/48kHz audio, as well as 16 analog outputs for sending personal stereo mixes to IEM transmitters. The HUB4 can receive channel names and group assignments from compatible consoles. You can also connect and power MIDAS stage boxes, while personal mix outputs can be monitored via AES50 upstream to connected consoles. The HUB4 supports remote control forwarding of a personal mixer from another, while a StageCONNECT port outputs 32 channels of low-latency audio via a single XLR cable. The MIDAS HUB4 offers remote operation via Cat 5e cable, and features a universal switch-mode power supply, durable Neutrik etherCON ports, and a rugged, road-worthy chassis.

Cascading Hubs for Large Setups

To meet the challenges of large monitoring setups, HUB4 can easily be daisy-chained to make additional DP48 ports available, all the way up to symphonic orchestra applications.

On the other hand, HUB4 can also address situations where you want to connect additional I/O via the same AES50 link to the mixing console. To help build out this AES50 console link, digital stage boxes such as the Midas DL16 or DL32 can be connected to the HUB4’s AES50-B (THRU) Port. The console can pass downstream signals to their respective stage outputs, while also receiving 48 channels upstream from the stage inputs via HUB4.

Analogue Outputs for IEM Transmitters

HUB4 features 16 balanced line-level outputs that can carry the 8 stereo mixes from the connected DP48 mixers for connections in the side rack. So 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.
