Midas PRO9

88-channel digital live-sound console (PRO Series)

Description

The PRO9 sits at the top of Midas' PRO Series: 88 channels, 35 buses and, above all, XL4 preamps whose warm, generous signature I still recognise even in the digital domain. For a large live production it is a genuine workhorse.
