Midas PRO2 Live Audio Mixing System with 64 Input Channels (Touring Package) Midas

6x 96 kHz AES50 ports, providing an additional 156 inputs and 166 outputs

8 integral mic/line inputs with Midas mic preamps

64 simultaneous input processing channels

32 analog outputs (including 16 on the stage box and 2 stereo local monitor outputs)

3 AES3 outputs

2 AES3 inputs

27 sample-synchronous, phase-coherent mix buses

Up to 12 multichannel FX engines

Up to 28 Klark Teknik DN370 31-band Graphic EQs

Full-color 15″ daylight-viewable display screen

8 VCA (Variable Control Association) groups

6 POPulation groups

96 kHz 40-bit floating-point processing throughout

VCA and POPulation Groups

VCA and POPulation groups both have assignable color coding and digital write-on buttons

VCA Groups allow access to all the channel faders belonging to any of the VCA groups at the press of a switch

POP (POPulation) groups can contain any combination of channels that you want to access instantly at the press of a switch

VCA and POP Groups encourage the development of a mental picture, or “Mind Map,” of the whole system

Selecting a VCA or POP group will bring all of the members of that group to you, rather than you having to go looking for them

Input channels can be viewed either by scrolling the input faders or by pressing the EXTEND button, which will populate the VCA faders with additional members of that POP group

Equalization

Fully interpolated controls

4-band parametric EQ

4 different filter types

Dynamics Processing

XL8 dynamics processing

4 different input compressor algorithms

5 different output compressor algorithms

A wide choice of dynamics processing

FX

40-bit floating-point audio processing

Custom-designed FX processors

Internal FX processors operate within Midas’ automatic latency compensation

Surround Sound

Quad 4-Channel – L-R front plus L-R rear

LCRS 4-Channel – L-R-C plus single rear channel

Quad 6-Channel – L-R-C plus sub plus L-R rear

Navigation Mode

FLIP Navigation: selecting an output flips the input fader to become the input channel that sends levels to the selected output 

FX Navigation: deploys a patched internal FX processor to the display screen and maps the ASSIGNABLE CONTROLS to the FX processor 

GEQ Navigation: selects an output which has a GEQ assigned and present the GEQ on the VCA faders 

MCA Navigation: deploys the MCA faders of a selected output to the VCA fader bank. In conjunction with Advanced mode, MCA navigation mode controls the contributions of their members to the currently selected bus.

Areas A and B

Facilitates dual operator use for two independent stereo solo systems with: 4-Channel Configurable “Area B” for dual operators

Automation

1000 snapshot scenes

Scene-specific routing

Scene store and recall can be “scoped”

MIDI inputs and outputs provided

Software versions forward and backward compatible

Show files compatible with any Midas digital console

Patching

156 inputs x 166 outputs (max. capacity) point-to-point routing anywhere within the network

56 mic/line inputs with Midas mic preamps

Up to 64 simultaneous-input processing channels

32 analog outputs (including 2 stereo local monitor outputs)

27 sample-synchronous, phase-coherent mix buses

Mixtender iPad App

Provides wireless remote control for key functions of the console. The App automatically selects the right console type so there is no difficult setup procedure. 

With the app you can monitor ALL input and output metering simultaneously in real time, and you can remotely EQ any speaker mix with one of the console’s on-board Klark Teknik DN370 GEQs. 

The app also provides simple, fast local stage mix adjustment by accessing the console’s MCA (Mix Control Association). Multiple iPads can be used simultaneously and each one can be locked to a single mix, so artists can create their own monitor mixes without changing any other console settings. The app is free to download from Apple’s App Store

Third-Party System Integration

Provides an Ethernet tunnel between the stage and mix position with additional bandwidth using HyperMAC digital snakes, Cat 5e, and the fiber optic option for third-party data transfer via standard Ethernet traffic, MIDI message, and GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output signaling)

Analog Potentiometers

Uses analog potentiometers as opposed to mechanical encoders to access the processing algorithms

Display Screen

Features high-resolution display that remain visible even in direct sunlight to provide visual feedback for channel strips, system information, third-party applications

Keyboard Video and Mouse

Allows you to bring up third-party applications from either a PC or MAC on screen and the console’s keyboard and track ball can be used to operate the computer

Sample Synchronous Audio

Ensures the phasing of different signals being mixed are coherent

Detail Panel Area

Features a vertically oriented channel strip layout with configurable controls and multicolor LCD channel select buttons

Microphone Preamplifiers

Uses discrete component design with a warmth similar to that found on the Midas XL3, XL4, and Heritage consoles with separate analog remote gain and digital trim controls for gain staging
