Midas M32

Midas preamps at a compact digital price

Description

The M32 takes the X32 architecture and grafts on genuine Midas PRO preamps, the ones that made the XL4's name. The result: 40 channels, 32 touring-grade preamps and the full AES50 ecosystem (DL stageboxes, apps, expansion cards), in a format live engineers snap up. One of modern digital's best-sellers.
