Midas AS80

AS 80

The Midas AS 80 is designed to seamlessly convert a single, high-bitrate HyperMac connection into two redundant 1GBit connections and vice versa, whilst ensuring ultra-fast audio switching. Additionally, it can also run up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz.

Reliable Redundancy

Using AS 80 with our flagship HD96 console allows both console Snake ports to be made redundant providing greater potential channel count. Furthermore, AS 80’s utilisation of FPGA-based switching technology ensures dependable HMAC failover to a redundant connection.

Tough and Dependable

Thanks to its 1U rackmountable design, AS 80 can be easily integrated into any touring or live portable sound setup without taking up too much space and can withstand the demands of life on tour.
