The COBALT series (by Midas Consoles) leverages Neutrik’s etherCON Magnetics Series for superior Ethernet connectivity with integrated magnetics, ensuring robust and interference-free data transmission. Meanwhile, the mediaCON Series delivers secure, high-speed data transfer in a compact, locking form factor—ideal for modern audio equipment requiring USB-C connectivity.

"MIDAS relies on high-performance connectivity solutions that meet the rigorous demands of professional audio environments. Neutrik’s connectors provide the durability and reliability we need in our cutting-edge designs," said Pete Sadler, Brand Leader.

The etherCON Magnetics Series integrates magnetics within the connector housing to improve signal integrity and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable network connections in professional audio applications.

The mediaCON Series, featuring robust USB-C connectivity, enables seamless high-speed data and power transmission, crucial for today’s evolving audio systems. Its secure locking mechanism ensures uninterrupted performance, even in demanding live environments.

The COBALT interface is a high-channel count USB3 audio protocol converter, allowing users to record and perform virtual soundchecks of up to 192 channels through a single NEUTRIK locking USB-C connection. It features built-in Sample Rate Converters for operation at 48kHz or 96kHz, ensuring seamless integration across various audio setups. Additionally, COBALT includes an Ethernet tunnel allowing communication between the console and the computer without any additional peripherals.

At the core of its networking capability is HyperMAC, an ultra-low latency protocol based on Gigabit Ethernet that enables the transmission of up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96kHz. Designed for professional live sound applications, HyperMAC ensures high-bandwidth, interference-free signal transport across demanding environments.

The integration of NEUTRIK connectivity solutions in COBALT underscores the significance of high-quality, reliable connectivity in professional audio. This collaboration exemplifies how the right technology partnerships drive innovation in professional audio.
