1. Introduction
The DL16 Digital Snake is a 16-in, 8-out stagebox that features AES50 networking
with KLARK TEKNIK SuperMac technology. Designed with multiple scenarios
in mind, the DL16 works equally well as a standalone pair for use with analog
mixing consoles, or as part of the trio of MIDAS digital mixing solutions along
with the M32 digital mixer and the BEHRINGER P16 personal monitoring system.
The 16 MIDAS-designed XLR inputs are fully programmable and remote-
controllable from the M32. 8 balanced XLR outputs provide ample sends to
the stage for mains and monitoring. The front panel also allows the level and
phantom power to be controlled for all inputs and outputs, accompanied by
an 8-LED meter and 7-segment display. The currently selected channel can be
monitored via ¼" headphone jack with level control.
Dual AES50 jacks allow transmission of all audio and MIDI data to the FOH M32
with a single Ethernet cable, and also allow up to 3 DL16s to be cascaded for
maximum channel count. In this scenario, 48 bidirectional audio channels at
24-bit / 48 kHz can be transferred on just one CAT5 line between FOH and stage,
including 48 analog inputs from stage, 24 analog outputs on stage as well as the
16 ULTRANET channels, MIDI data and head amp remote control.
An additional ULTRANET output provides the 16 channels for use with
BEHRINGER’s P16 personal monitoring system via Ethernet cable, allowing each
musician to dial in their own custom mix from the stage. A pair of ADAT ports
can carry additional sends to the stage beyond the 8 analog outputs, or split the
16 inputs. Lastly, a USB jack allows for future rmware updates.

mic input’s gain setting, which may then be adjusted using the
SELECT/ADJUST knob.
(4) DISPLAY shows the selected channel number, its gain setting, or the
sample rate in SnakeMaster conguration.
(5) NETWORK LINK LEDs light red to indicate the AES50 ports are connected but not
synchronised, and light green to indicate theyare connected and synchronised.
(6) 48 V button sends phantom power to the currently selected mic input,
indicated by a litbutton when active.
(7) STATUS LEDs show the operation mode of various features. See the
Operation ModeChart for details. The HA LOCKED LED indicates that
preamp gain adjustment has been blocked by the controlling M32.
To unlock, open the M32 Setup/Global page and un-check the General
Preference ’LockStagebox’.
(8) CONFIG button, when pressed and held, allowsthe device’s operation
mode to be adjusted by the SELECT/ADJUST knob. SeeOperation Mode
Chart for details.

audio network via shielded Cat-5e Ethernet cable with terminated
ends. This allows connection to digital mixers or cascading of multiple
DL16units.
(16) ULTRANET port sends 16 channels to a BEHRINGER P-16 personal
monitoring system.
(17) ADAT OUT jacks send AES50 channels 17-32 to external equipment via
optical cable, or split the local 16 inputs for direct ADAT recording.
(18) MIDI IN/OUT jacks accept standard 5-pin MIDI cables for MIDI
