Features
The DL371 Audio System Engine has the following features:
• The front panel consists of various LED-only sections that provide status
information.
• Sub-modular construction provides user-configurable 7 x 24-channel format.
• Each module has remote interrogate LEDs for DSP control and analogue and digital
audio for health and connection status feedback.
• A diagnostics 9-way D-type connector per DSP module provides access to its
software for diagnosis, troubleshooting etc.
• Eight AES50 24-wide bi-directional digital audio EtherCon® ports are provided, four
to allow N+1 connection of the main 64-way I/O rack and four to allow dual

• Dual redundant (gigabit) Hyper-MAC 192-wide bi-directional digital audio ports link
the router to the control centre on either 150 m fibre or 100 m ruggedised Cat5E

cables, both of which use Neutrik connectors.
• For synchronisation to external systems there are two BNC Clock ports and two XLR
digital audio reference signal (DARS) ports. Both sets of ports have one in and one
out port.
• A 100Mbs Ethernet control port (on EtherCon®) allows a ‘tunnel’ connection to
external non-Midas equipment via the control surface.
• The unit offers the facility of universal input, N+1 redundant power supplies with 3
latching mains connectors.
• The unit is force air cooled by means of 80 mm fans. These produce low noise,
which is suitable for concert sound. However, racking in separate “amp rooms” is
advised for theatre use.
