Forty Years of Innovation and Leadership

Midas have a long history of Innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing

consoles, which continues to this day.

Originally formed in 1970 by Je Byers and Charles Brooke, Je became fascinated by the

concept of improving and rening professional audio systems, and so Midas went on to

develop the rst fully integrated modular audio system, comprising consoles, crossovers,

ampliers and speaker systems in conjunction with Dave Martin, which became the

calibrated Midas/Martin system of the 1970’s.

The rst Midas mixer to achieve major success was the PR04, a modular console, and

forerunner to the XL3, the rst Midas to feature VCA groups, and the world’s rst truly dual-

purpose console. In 1990, this innovation changed the way the a generation of engineers

approached the art of mixing, opened new creative possibilities and set the scene for the

greatest analogue console ever built, the XL4.

The XL4 set the benchmark for the next decade. Audio engineers were amazed at the sheer

depth and scope of what they were able to achieve with the unbeatable combination of the

XL4’s audio performance and comprehensive moving-fader automation. Many elements of

this legendary console are still available to today’s engineers in the current range of Midas

digital mixing systems.

Always seeking to redene the boundaries of audio performance and exibility, the turn of

the century saw the launch of the ubiquitous Heritage 3000. Midas employed the ultimate

distillation of design and experience into creating the perfect roadworthy touring console.

The Heritage 2000 and the theatre orientated Heritage 1000 complete the line up.

Innovation continued into the new millennium with the Legend 3000, the world’s rst Tri-

purpose console, and the Verona and Siena, which revitalized and redened the market for

the medium format console.

Then, in 2006, Digital went Midas.

When the Midas XL8 was launched, it set new standards for audio quality, ease of use, power,

exibility, and creative potential which, in 2010, have yet to be matched. No other live digital

audio console can compete with the sample-synchronous audio performance, expandable

network topology, and sheer ease of use which are the trademarks of all Midas digital

systems. The XL8 has become the system of choice for prestigious installations, major touring

artistes, Theatres and concert venues the world over, including many unique international

events where compromise is not an option.

PRO6 strengthened Midas’ digital range in 2008, which shares the same sample synchronised

audio performance as the XL8 and its extensive networked audio system. The PRO6 is a

common sight at front of house and monitor positions in concert touring as well as global

events such as the Eurovision Song contest where a number of PRO6s form part of a large

audio network along with XL8s. The PRO3 and PRO9 have since been added creating the

PRO series, now oering a choice from 48 up to 88 simultaneous mixed inputs allowing even

more touring riders and professional installations to take advantage of Midas’ digital features.

All Midas digital consoles feature multiple types of channel EQ and dynamics plus an

extensive set of fully time aligned and dynamically re-patchable eects processing

devices. The comprehensive theatre grade scene automation system can also dynamically

recongure 800+ inputs and outputs on a scene by scene basis.

The ground breaking ultra low latency audio networking technology developed for the XL8

and PRO series is now available for many more applications with the introduction of the

Midas standalone digital snake and audio distribution range, which includes an aordable

xed 48 mic in/16 line out system, a fully exible 64/64 system and a high performance mic

splitter system with up to 3km distant dual remote ends.

The Midas commitment to innovation was recognised in 2009 with Alex Cooper, Midas

R&D Director, receiving the prestigious Gottelier Award, only the third person to be so

honoured. This award recognises the product developers who have made a signicant and

sustained contribution to the development of equipment and tools that have enabled

entertainment technology practitioners to push the boundaries of event production,

presentation and installation.

In 2010 Digital is Midas.
