HUB4 PRO
The HUB4 PRO is the essential multi-tool in any stage rack, providing analogue and digital outputs for various applications and offering reliable performance for seamless integration into diverse audio setups.
The HUB4 PRO allows a more streamlined and customisable monitoring experience, with front panel buttons and 16 balanced analogue outputs for sending 4x2 personal stereo mixes from DP48 to IEM transmitters in the side rack. It also allows collecting audio from 4 of the brand-new Midas DL8 Stage Box, which can be connected and powered from ports 1-4.
Ensuring reliable connections is key for the transmission of multiple channels in any setting, the HUB4 PRO features Neutrik etherCON* AES50 network ports and remote operation via shielded CAT5e cables. With a versatile and adaptive power supply, the HUB4 PRO can be used globally, and it has a rugged 1U chassis making it extremely durable for travel.
Personal Monitoring with DP48
HUB4 PRO can supply up to four DP48 personal monitor mixers with PoE (Power over Ethernet) and 48 channels of 24-bit/48 kHz audio or 2x 24 channels at 96 kHz. HUB4 PRO also collects 48 channels of upstream audio and forwards this audio to the FOH console, either from stage boxes connected to the AES50-B (THRU) Port or 8 return channels from each of Ports 1-4.
Cascading Hubs for Large Setups
To meet the challenges of large monitoring setups, HUB4 PRO can easily be daisy-chained to make additional DP48 ports available, all the way up to symphonic orchestra applications.
On the other hand, HUB4 PRO can also address situations where you want to connect additional I/O via the same AES50 link to the mixing console. To help build out this AES50 console link, digital stage boxes such as the Midas DL16 or DL32 can be connected to the HUB4’s AES50 (THRU) Port. The console can pass downstream signals to their respective stage outputs, while also receiving 48 channels upstream from the stage inputs via HUB4 PRO.
Analog Outputs for IEM Transmitters
HUB4 PRO features 16 balanced line-level outputs that can carry the 8 stereo mixes from the connected DP48 mixers for connections in the side rack. There is no need to run additional lines from personal mixers to the transmitters, reducing setup time and reliability considerably. Alternatively, these analogue outputs can also be used as spare outputs on stage receiving signals directly from the FOH consoles, e.g. for providing talkback or side fill outputs.
StageConnect Interface
The innovative StageConnect interface yields additional flexibility for routing signals in, out, and through the HUB4 PRO. With just one standard XLR cable you can expand the total i/o capacity by 32 channels of lowest latency, impeccable 24-Bit audio. Connect a Midas DN4816O here, for putting out 16 impedance-balanced line signals directly in the side rack, where the IEM transmitters are mounted. Or add another DN4816I for collecting the signals of up to 16 wireless receivers for sending their signals through HUB4 PRO upstream to the mixing console. DN4816U be used to bridge USB audio with Ultranet and StageConnect in a compact rugged DI box case. Adding convenient and cost-efficient I/O flexibility is now on a level of its own with StageConnect.
Support from Midas M32 and Heritage D Series Consoles
HUB4 PRO can convey control messages from M32 FOH consoles to DP48 personal mixers, as well as remote control messages between DP48 units.
Midas DP48 Personal Monitor Mixers support remote control of other DP48 units and can also receive control information from M32 and Heritage D Series Consoles. This control information includes assignments, names and colors of channels, which are transmitted via AES50 for easy configuration of personal mixers. HUB4 PRO can convey control messages from the FOH console to personal mixers as well as between personal mixers. This control message system works when DP48 units are connected to Ports 1-4 or to the ports on daisy-chained hubs.
Midas DL8 PoE (Power over Ethernet) Powered Stage Boxes
HUB4 PRO easily interfaces with the new Midas DL8 stage box, which makes bulky analog sub-snakes a thing of the past. The DL8 stage box can be connected to one of HUB4 PRO Ports 1-4 using only a simple CAT5E STP cable. This cable connection from HUB4 PRO can directly power up to 4 stage boxes via PoE support – IEEE802.3at per port – allowing for shorter analogue lines on stage.
