Midas AS88 Dual HMAC to 8 Port Dual Redundant AES50 Converter

Built for professional touring and live production, the Midas AS88 is a powerful HyperMAC-to-AES50 converter that delivers high-channel-count redundancy and ultra-fast signal switching in a compact 2U rackmountable format. Designed to interface seamlessly with flagship systems like the Midas HD96, it provides a reliable bridge between dual HyperMAC inputs and up to eight fully redundant AES50 connections, ensuring stable high-resolution audio distribution at up to 192 bidirectional channels running at 96 kHz.

The AS88 utilises FPGA-based switching technology to provide seamless failover protection across HyperMAC links, maintaining audio integrity even in the event of a primary connection failure. Ideal for mission-critical applications, it unlocks full redundancy across both Snake ports on the HD96 platform while preserving real-time performance and channel capacity.

Equipped with rugged RJ45 and optical connections, the AS88 is ready for demanding production environments where long-distance, high-quality digital audio transmission is essential. Its road-ready 2U chassis, dual universal power supply, and advanced switching architecture make it the trusted backbone for high-performance live audio systems.
