Applications
The HD96-24 is the go-to high-end Midas Digital Console System, akin to the
‘industry standard’ Heritage 3000 and XL4. Although the HD96-24 is designed for
the traditional touring live sound environment, it is also ideal for theatre, house
of worship installations and broadcast. So, being a truly multi-functional console
in the Midas tradition, the HD96-24 is suitable for many applications, such as:
• • Live sound touring Front of House (FOH) or Monitors (MONS) duties.
• • Live sound theatre FOH or MONS duties.
• • Live sound & broadcast for house of worship FOH or MONS duties.
System Components
The HD96-24 surface now brings together all DSP and processing into one place.
This allows for quicker set-up. With built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth the HD96-24 can
talk to the mCloud for show le back-up, software updates, fault tracking and
even the location of the desk anywhere in the world.
All the I/O is handled by the familiar Midas Blue DL series rack which combines
the warmth and authenticity of analogue circuitry with the precision and agility
of state-of-the-art digital techniques. Extreme care has been taken in the
planning and execution of the PCB layout to maintain exceptional grounding and
analogue/digital separation with the highest quality of sonic performance.
Compatible DL Series units are:
DL231/431
DL251/252
DL151/152/153/154/155
The Klark Teknik DN9680 8 Port AES50 extender and multiplexer can be directly
connected to the HD96-24 which Extends AES50 connections up to 500m with
optical bre or 100 m with CAT5 cable. DN9680 supports both optical bre and
copper snakes using a Gigabit Ethernet digital audio point-to-point link. A dual-
bre Neutrik opticalCON DUO connector is used for optical bre snake connection,
enabling a bidirectional optical link on one multi-mode dual bre cable
The DN9680 acts as a bidirectional multiplexer and demultiplexer and combines
the eight incoming AES50 streams into the outgoing snake connection, and
simultaneously also takes the incoming snake connection and unbundles the
eight AES50 streams and routes them to the corresponding AES50 ports with
redundant connections available. This allows 192 bidirectional channels of audio
to be used.
System Busses
The HD96-24 has comprehensive system busses to suit demanding applications,
comprising:
1. 2 stereo solo busses, routable from all locations and allowing for dual
operator
2. 3 master busses, routable from the mic/line inputs (up to 144), and 96 aux
busses.
3. 24 matrix busses, routable from the mic/line inputs (up to 144), 96 aux
busses and three master busses.
4. 96 aux busses (either standard or exi-aux, routable from the mic/line inputs
(up to 144) or exi aux bus to aux bus for group or stem style processing.
All of the bus routings provide simultaneous and time aligned mixing of all the
sources, which will be switchable for minimum latency requirements.
For monitor mixing, the master, matrix and aux busses can all be routed directly
from the input channels, with independent level controls providing up to 123
monitor mix busses. Flexi-Aux busses allow group mixing of channels to be sent
to Auxes, Matrices or the Masters, for example, mix and process all your drums via
a Flexi-Aux then send to an IEM Aux.
For traditional FOH group mixing, any (or all) of the aux busses can change to
operate post-channel fader and pan (that is, aux gain xed at unity).
