Applications
The PRO6 is the 'work horse' mid- to high-end Midas Digital Console System, akin to the
'industry standard' Heritage 3000. Although the PRO6 is designed for the traditional
touring live sound environment, it is also ideal for medium-sized theatre, small house of
worship installations and broadcast. So, being a truly multi-function console in the
Midas tradition, the PRO6 is suitable for many applications, such as:
• Live sound touring MON or FOH duties.
• Live sound small theatre MON or FOH duties.
• Live sound house of worship MON or FOH duties.
• Live sound broadcast mixer with basic 5.1 surround capabilities and monitoring.
