Key features
Please remember, the PRO6 is not just a console, it's a LIVE AUDIO SYSTEM!
• High channel count — 56 mixed primary inputs (sourced from up to 112 input
locations) and 35 output channels.
• Control centre — Small and very compact with an exciting but familiar and
ergonomic control surface, enhanced by a two-screen GUI.
• Performance — Reduced price, scale and features, but still with XL8 audio
performance.
• Operation — Easy to use with responsive interpolated controls and fast, intuitive
human interfaces that combine to produce that familiar analogue feel.
• User interface (speed and feel) — VCA groups (console comes to you!); POP
groups (console comes to you!); muscle memory (E-zone and D-zone on channel
strips, which have paged controls that do not change function); input and output
fast zones; electronic colour coding; and dedicated motorised master output
faders.
• User interface (status visibility) — Dual daylight-visible screens and integral
surface illumination; metering (23 discrete 20-segment LED meters), discrete
metering for dynamics, and all meters all of the time; "ST" assign switch; and
eight channels of key data plus a single channel strip on both GUI screens.
• Traditional Midas and Klark Teknik audio quality:
• Headroom — High headroom, which is well behaved, even when pushed a little
too hard.
• Mic amps — High quality, overload tolerant microphone amplifier per input.
• Dynamics — High quality dynamic processing with traditional analogue
artefacts. Midas dynamics has four styles on the inputs and five on the outputs.
• EQ — Fully interpolated phase shifting EQ for that "Midas" sound.
• PEQ — High quality EQ with the "Midas" sound. Each output has six-band
parametric EQ, while the inputs have four bands each. Midas sound quality and
'feel' on the EQ's four filters.
• GEQ — Up to 36 (eight if all stereo effects are being used) Klark Teknik quality
GEQs with unique on-board fast access controller and control from RapidE.
• Effects — High quality effects processing with traditional artefacts. Up to eight
stereo effects units.
• Patching — Unique simple-to-use routing system allows you to carry out all your
routing needs and also configure any attached devices via the GUI.
• Navigation — VCA-based and other advanced intuitive paging/navigation methods.
• Automation:
• Snapshots — Flexible snapshot style save and recall of control settings and
cross-scene global edit capability.
• Showfiles — USB connectors for show archiving. Showfiles are both forward
and backward compatible across firmware versions.
• Metering — Comprehensive metering. The GUI can show all of the meters all of the
time.
• Dual operation — Capable of supporting two-man operation, which is ideal for
festival situations.
• Storable preferences — Storable user operational preferences to suit specific
applications, for example, FOH/MON.
• Broadcasting — 5.1 surround panning for broadcast markets.
