MIDAS M32R

MIDAS’s new rack-mountable M32R digital mixing console comes with 16 MIDAS PRO Microphone Preamplifiers and AES50 networking allowing access to 96 additional inputs and outputs. 40 mix channels, eight DCAs, six mute groups and eight effects engines are onboard to mix to 25 time-aligned and phase-coherent mix buses. It even ships with the mounting brackets! MIDAS are promising ‘future 96 kHz operation’ via a firmware upgrade.

The user interface includes 17 MIDAS PRO motorised 100 mm faders, a daylight viewable 5″ full colour TFT display screen and DAW remote control emulations of the Mackie Control and HUI protocols. Control is also available wirelessly via MIDAS Apps for iPhone and iPad. Recording and playback is simple through a built-in 32 x 32 channel USB 2.0 audio interface.
