Midas

Midas PRO6

The touring console that carried the Midas sound into the digital world

Description

With the PRO6 (2008), Midas brought its touring know-how into a compact yet complete digital format: 64 channels, 35 buses, 96 kHz and 40-bit floating-point processing, served by 29 motorised faders and a “layer-free” workflow built on VCAs and POPulation groups. What I like here is the continuity with the Midas philosophy — musical preamps and EQ, front-of-house immediacy — in a box that fits in a truck. It became a touring and festival standard, and its engine’s upgrade path to the PRO9 made it a real investment.
