About the Midas DP48_US1 Dual 48-Channel Personal Monitor Mixer
The Midas DP48 is a professional, dual-engine personal monitor mixing system designed to give up to 48 individual channels of pristine audio control directly to each performer on stage. It consists of a rack-mounted engine unit and multiple personal mixer stations, allowing musicians to craft their own custom in-ear or wedge monitor mix independently of the front-of-house engineer. Each personal mixer provides intuitive, hands-on control over level, pan, and a comprehensive four-band parametric EQ for every channel, enabling artists to dial in exactly what they need to hear. This system dramatically reduces monitor-related workload from the main console, eliminates the need for complex analog splitter snakes, and minimizes stage clutter by running all audio and control data over a single Ethernet cable using the proprietary Midas digital audio network.
At the heart of the system is its high-quality audio performance, leveraging Midas' renowned microphone preamplifier and digital processing technology. The rack unit receives inputs from the stage via a digital split from the main console or directly from its own preamps, then distributes multi-channel, low-latency digital audio to all connected personal mixers on the network. Each personal mixer station features a high-resolution color touchscreen for visual feedback and navigation, alongside physical faders and rotary encoders for tactile control. Artists can save and recall multiple mix snapshots, solo channels, and adjust their overall mix level, all without requiring intervention from the monitor engineer, fostering a more focused and comfortable performance environment.
The system is built for the demands of touring and professional installation, with rugged hardware designed for reliable operation. Its scalable architecture allows it to support from a few to many performers simultaneously, making it suitable for everything from club tours to large festival stages and permanent worship or theater installations. By empowering each artist with direct, high-quality control over their monitor experience, the Midas DP48 enhances on-stage communication, reduces soundcheck times, and contributes to a more consistent and confident performance.
