You mention that price is a con of this unit, however from the research I've done (in the UK at least :D) it may actually be cheaper than a usual passive splitter system! If you buy 2x "Behringer MS8000" splitters, a "Millenium PB16 XLR Out" unit plus all the XLR cables to connect everything together, that comes out to just north of £300 which is around the same price as one of these boxes. Plus the DN 4816-O is only 1U of rack space, AND only has the weight of a single ethernet cable rather than 16 copper XLR cables! For a rig where gain and phantom power are alright being set on your XR18, this is a pretty awesome setup! Thanks for the video :D

Nice video brother

Assuming we use XR as monitor mixer, can we just use a long cat5 cable (30 meters length in example) and then put the DN4816 beside the FOH mixers instead of put the DN4816 in the same rack with XR? I mean to make xlr requirement shorter for connectiing the analog out to the FOH Mixers.

I hope u understand my words. Pardon for my bad english.

Great video. Can you show complete setup with IEM?

[jeremymoore]

Hey Sean, thanks for the video. Quick question. Did you design you mixing station template? Its really good.

[mistaish]

Thanks for the info. Does this add 16 to the 6 on the X18 or replace the 6?

[reedbass]

Do you send the outs to another mixer so the band can do their IEMs?

[GearWithJames]

Have you experienced any extreme noise from the output ports of the Midas unit? I just got mine and it’s got an unusable amount of noise coming from the ports

[erichermann]

but you can send it to foh as analog or input in the I/O of the xr18, i dont get it

[MattLunser]

I almost bought this until I learned gain is controlled by the X18. I would think the house would want control of the gain independently.

Thanks for the video.

haha as a FOH sound guy, musicians are not setting my gain.
