The Midas DL152 is a dedicated digital output stagebox designed to expand the analog output capacity of compatible Midas digital mixing systems, such as the Heritage-D series. Unlike input-focused stageboxes, the DL152's primary function is to provide a remote bank of high-quality digital-to-analog converters and line drivers, placing multiple analog outputs directly where they are needed on stage or in equipment racks. It is typically configured with 24 balanced analog outputs on XLR connectors, which can be used for sending monitor mixes, auxiliary feeds, subgroup outputs, or matrix feeds to power amplifiers, in-ear monitor transmitters, or recording devices. This setup allows the main console to be located at front-of-house while the outputs for the stage are managed from a single, neat remote unit connected via a digital cable.

The stagebox connects to the main console via a single Cat5e cable using Midas's proprietary DL Plus protocol. This digital snake carries all output channel audio data, control signals, and synchronization from the console to the DL152, which then converts the digital streams into 24 independent analog line-level signals. The use of a digital link eliminates the need for multiple long analog multicores running from FOH to the stage, significantly reducing setup time, cable clutter, and potential for noise interference. The unit is designed for transparent audio performance, utilizing high-resolution D/A conversion to ensure the analog outputs faithfully reproduce the console's digital mix with clarity and dynamic range.

Built for durability in touring environments, the DL152 is housed in a robust 2U rack-mountable steel chassis with an internal universal power supply. It features a clear backlit LCD for local setup and status monitoring, redundant power input connectors, and comprehensive fault reporting. Synchronization is derived from the console via the digital link. By providing a concentrated, remote output solution, the Midas DL152 enhances system flexibility and simplifies signal distribution, making it an essential component for complex monitor setups, multi-zone systems, or any application requiring a large number of high-quality analog outputs away from the mixing console.
