Midas-designed mic/line combo
(1)
inputs accept balanced XLR and
1/4" male plugs. Channel 15 and 16
on the SD16 and channel 7 and 8
on the SD8 accept high impedance
signals for direct connection of
guitars and basses.
XLR outputs accept balanced XLR
(2)
female plugs.
POWER LED lights when the unit
(3)
is powered on.
AES50 LEDs light green when
(4)
the corresponding AES50 port is
connected and synchronized, and
light red when connected but
not synchronized.
ULTRANET ports allow direct
(5)
connection of up to 4 (SD16) or 2
(SD8) P16-M personal mixers.
The ports provide phantom power,
allowing the P16-M units to
operate without additional
power supplies.
USB port can be used to connect a

PC for updating the firmware.
Quick Start Guide
AES50 ports A and B allow
(7)
connection to a SuperMAC digital
multi-channel network via
shielded Cat-5e Ethernet cable
with terminated ends compatible
to Neutrik etherCON.
NOTE: The clock master, typically
the digital mixer, must be
connected to the AES50 port A,
while additional stage boxes
would be connected to port B.
See 'Step 3: Channel Management'
for details.
OUTPUT select switch determines
(8)
which group of 8 AES50-A
channels appear at the physical
XLR output jacks. When using
multiple stage boxes, this allows
different output signals to be sent
to each unit.
POWER switch turns the unit on
(9)
and off.
