MIDAS DL231-UL 24 Input, 24 Output Active Microphone Splitter with 2 Independent Midas Microphone Preamplifiers per Input

$6,900.00

The 5 RU DL231 Active Microphone Splitter from Midas is an active microphone splitter with 24 inputs and 24 outputs. There are two independent Midas microphone preamplifiers per input channel with switchable 48V phantom power. This microphone splitter features a PCB layout specifically designed to maintain grounding as well as separation for both analog and digital signals. It comes fitted with an Ethernet control port and four AES50 ports for dual-redundant handling of two independent digital audio interfaces. MIDI in, out, and thru ports are also on board for use with Midas consoles.

About the MIDAS DL231-UL 24 Input, 24 Output Active Microphone Splitter with 2 Independent Midas Microphone Preamplifiers per Input

The MIDAS DL231-UL is a professional active microphone splitter system designed to provide multiple, isolated outputs from a single set of microphone inputs, a fundamental tool for large-scale live productions where the stage audio must feed separate mixing consoles. It features 24 input channels, each equipped with two independent MIDAS Pro Series microphone preamplifiers. This unique dual-preamp design allows for completely independent gain, phantom power, and high-pass filter control for each of the two main output paths. Each input channel is then actively split to provide a total of three isolated outputs: one direct electronically buffered output (typically from Preamp A) and two transformer-isolated outputs (from Preamp A and Preamp B respectively). This configuration allows the signals to be sent to three independent destinations—such as front-of-house, monitor world, and a broadcast truck—with no ground loops, crosstalk, or interaction, and with independent gain staging optimized for each console.

Engineered for the highest reliability in demanding touring and fixed installations, the DL231-UL is housed in a robust 3U rack-mountable chassis. The dual preamps per channel offer unprecedented flexibility, enabling the monitor engineer and FOH engineer to set their gain structure independently without compromise. All outputs are fully buffered, and the transformer-isolated outputs provide complete galvanic separation. The unit is powered by an internal power supply and includes comprehensive status indicators. This design is considered the premium solution for major tours, festivals, and high-profile broadcast events where absolute audio integrity and separate control for multiple engineers are non-negotiable.

As the pinnacle of analog splitting technology, the MIDAS DL231-UL combines pristine MIDAS audio quality with ultimate flexibility. It eliminates all technical limitations of passive splits, ensuring that front-of-house, monitors, and broadcast each receive an optimally leveled, completely clean, and independent feed from the same set of microphones, enabling flawless collaboration between separate audio crews.
