Mix Matrix; Processing - Midas PRO2 Owner's Manual

Mix matrix

Ultimately, the mix matrix defines the PRO2 Live Audio System's capability. Probably
the best way to imagine the mix matrix is to think of an analogue console layout, where
inputs run vertically and buses run horizontally. A mix matrix is usually defined as the
number of buses and the quantity of simultaneously-mixable inputs there are per bus.
The following diagram illustrates the capability within the control centre.
56 mic/line inputs

Processing

Although the control centre system allows for considerable insertion of external
processing, it also embodies more than enough internal high quality processing to
eliminate the need for this.
Input channel processing
Each of the 56 full-function input channels has:
• Analogue and digital gain.
• Phase reverse switch.
• Input delay.
• Swept high pass filter with choice of two filter slopes.
• Swept low pass filter with choice of two filter slopes.
• Frequency-conscious compressor with choice of four compression styles.
• Frequency-conscious noise gate with external side chain.
• Insert point.
• Treble EQ filter with choice of four filter types.
• Parametric hi-mid EQ filter.
• Parametric lo-mid EQ filter.
• Bass EQ filter with choice of four filter types.
• Routing via level controls to 24 mix buses.
• Routing via pan control to left and right master buses.
