Audio Network Converter & Redundancy Switch

The Midas MDS-AS 80 is a high-performance audio network converter that bridges a single high-bandwidth HyperMAC connection into two redundant 1 GBit connections—or vice versa—with ultra-fast failover switching. Engineered for touring-grade reliability, it supports up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz and integrates seamlessly into Midas systems including the HD96.

Midas MDS-AS 80 Competitive Differences

  • Converts single HyperMAC to dual redundant HMAC connections
  • Supports up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz

Midas MDS-AS 80 Description

The Midas MDS-AS 80 is purpose-built for live sound professionals seeking high-channel-count audio networking with maximum system redundancy. Designed to convert HyperMAC to dual redundant 1GBit HMAC connections, it provides seamless failover and switching thanks to robust FPGA technology. Ideal for use with flagship Midas systems such as the HD96 console, the MDS-AS 80 ensures uninterrupted performance even in demanding scenarios. Its auto-ranging, dual redundant power supply offers added security during critical operations, while the front-panel indicators provide cable state feedback and redundancy monitoring.
