Midas has released two new products along with its recent announcement of the Midas HD96 AIR.
COBALT is a pocket-sized USB3 audio protocol converter—and it’s a powerhouse. With up to 192 bidirectional channels at 48 or 96 kHz via Dual Redundant HyperMAC In/Outs, COBALT ensures ultra-reliable performance in even the most demanding live environments. A single locking USB-C cable connects you straight into your Mac (Windows support coming soon), with built-in sample rate conversion, LED status indicators, and an Ethernet tunnel for OSC and rtpMIDI integration. It’s a studio-grade rig that fits in your palm.
AS88 is the highly anticipated addition to the Midas converter lineup — a robust dual HMAC to 8-Port Dual Redundant AES50 Converter engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional live sound. Housed in a rugged, compact 2U rack-mountable chassis, the AS88 is built for life on the road while maximising space efficiency in any setup. Designed with full cable redundancy from console to StageBox, it ensures superior reliability and significantly reduces the risk of signal loss.
Capable of handling up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz, the AS88 delivers outstanding bandwidth and flexibility.
Available in Australia early July 2025
