MIDAS – The Legend in Sound Quality

Midas has defined professional audio excellence since the 1970s, known globally for their award-winning mic preamps and premium build quality. The SD8 carries this legacy forward, featuring Midas-designed preamps to deliver consistent, high-fidelity audio in any environment.

Remotely Controllable Preamps Make Setup a Breeze

Engineers can control all parameters of the SD8—including phantom power, gain, and routing—directly from the mixing console. Quick deployment and precise stage configuration make the SD8 ideal for both touring and installed applications.

8 Servo-Balanced XLR Outputs

The SD8’s 8 XLR outputs connect directly to monitors, speakers, or amp racks with ultra-clean signal quality. With Cirrus Logic 24-bit converters, the digital architecture delivers pristine audio free from interference or crosstalk.

ULTRANET – Seamless Integration

ULTRANET transmits 16 channels of 24-bit audio and power to compatible devices through one CAT5e cable. With built-in support for Behringer P16-M mixers and Turbosound iQ systems, the SD8 simplifies monitoring and minimizes cabling. Phantom power is also supplied over CAT5e, eliminating the need for external power adapters.

Extreme Value

Offering pro-level features, studio-quality mic preamps, and rugged portability, the SD8 is an ideal digital stage solution. Whether used standalone or in a cascading setup, it provides reliable stage-to-console connectivity at an unbeatable value—backed by Behringer’s comprehensive warranty.
