Architect’s And Engineer’s Specification - Midas PRO 1 Overview

Architect's and Engineer's Specification
The PRO1 standard package comprises of:-
27 Buss Console (plus 4 solo),
48 main input channels (or 40 input and 8 aux return)
24 XLR mic/line inputs
24 XLR line outputs
2 AES/EBU inputs
3 AES/EBU outputs
1 Console flight case (TP version only)
The system shall be configurable to meet all of its I/O, processing and control
surface requirements within an easily portable solution that is fast to set up.
The system shall be expandable and capable of sourcing inputs and driving
outputs from multiple locations so that for example all inputs can source
their signal from a hard disk recorder for sound checking but switch over to
microphone feeds for the main live show event.
The system shall be capable of mixing 40 primary input channels and 8
auxiliary input channels simultaneously to 24 main buss output channels,
with equalisation every channel and dynamic processing on all outputs and
primary input channels. 6 effects processors shall be included that can be
inserted into any channel path with the ability to add additional external
insert points to any of the channels, as desired.
The available audio processing shall include:
