Midas AS88 – Dual HyperMAC to 8‑Port Dual Redundant AES50 Converter

HyperMAC ↔ AES50 redundancy hub for HD96 systems

The Midas AS88 is a compact, rugged dual HyperMAC to 8‑port dual‑redundant AES50 converter. It bridges the HD96 console’s HyperMAC network to multiple AES50 stageboxes, providing up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz with full cable and PSU redundancy. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Built around advanced FPGA‑based switching, the AS88 automatically fails over to its redundant HyperMAC path when needed, while connection status LEDs report the state of each snake and power supply at a glance. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Key features

• Dual HyperMAC → 8 AES50 SuperMAC conversion for large HD96 systems.
• Up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz over networked copper/optical lines. 
• Dual redundant, auto‑ranging switch‑mode PSU with 2 × IEC inlets for independent mains feeds.
• 2U rackmount chassis designed for touring and fixed installs alike.
• Neutrik etherCON connectors for AES50/copper snake and opticalCON DUO for fiber HyperMAC.
• Clocking from incoming AES50 or HyperMAC ports, with redundancy status visible on connected HD96 consoles. 
• Product is on order

Whether you’re building a high‑channel‑count Heritage‑D HD96‑24 or HD96‑AIR rig, the AS88 is the central patch box that keeps your HyperMAC and AES50 worlds connected and fully redundant.
