MIDAS is the Epitome of Excellence
In 2013, MIDAS approached me to create a new
design language for MIDAS and with it a new mixing
console. Having designed for Bentley, I am intimately
familiar with the challenge of transforming a brand
while retaining the precious heritage -- in this case the
40 year old iconic British mixing console brand MIDAS.
Industry-Leading 192 kHz Precision
The groundbreaking M32 console combines
legendary MIDAS sound quality with advanced
digital technology, future-proof 96 kHz capable
open architecture design and industry-leading
192 kHz ADC and DAC converters, creating a
revolutionary mid-format live console. M32 features
ultra-sleek styling, off ering you a truly luxurious
mixing experience. High-end construction materials
including carbon fi bre provide unparalleled
durability and strength, plus substantially lower
weight than comparable consoles.

Representing the pinnacle of its industry, MIDAS is the
Epitome of Excellence. When it comes to ergonomics,
performance and style, the aspects of a high-
performance luxury car equally apply to a high-end
mixing console. I was given a blank sheet of paper for
my choice of materials. This meant considering light
weight materials such as carbon fi bre and aluminum,
while using a sophisticated steel construction,
for high- impact structural areas.
High attention was paid to the tactile elements such
as fader knobs and the illumination to work under all
background conditions.
From the onset the idea was to break the mould! Hence
the form study deliberately tried to break away from
the static, bulky feel of today's mixing consoles. Instead
making it more dynamic, ergonomic, yet luxurious.
Colours, size, mobility and hardware where given equal
importance to arrive at the M32. A true projection of
the brand, today.
I am very happy with the outcome of the M32 and feel
honoured to have my name associated with MIDAS.

the custom-designed MIDAS PRO motorised faders
that are rated for 1 million life cycles—three times
more than other leading consoles.
The MIDAS M32 is a future-forward console that
completely raises the bar for live mixing.
