Description

Midas PRO6-CC-IP Digital Audio Mixing System

The Midas Pro Series has become established as the industry standard on live concert tours and the road-proven Pro6 featuring 64 simultaneous input channels and 35 time-aligned and phase-coherent mix buses, shares the familiarity of a common user interface and workflow with PRO3 and Pro9. Like all Pro Series consoles, the Pro6 features managed latency and 40 bit floating point processing precision. Pro6 sets the standard of performance in high-profile live sound applications and is a truly impressive digital control surface for the engineer whose very livelihood depends on both unparalleled functionality and reliability.

HyperMac and AES50 audio networking technologies allow the Pro6 to dynamically assign up to 288 inputs and 294 outputs at 96 kHz sampling rate to any of its input channels and bus outputs on a scene-by-scene basis. This high level of connectivity, coupled with the large channel and bus counts, makes the PRO6 equally at home in theatres and symphony halls as it is in live concert touring, outside broadcast and music festivals.

Digital Audio Networking
SuperMac (AES50-Compliant) and HyperMac digital audio networking technologies from Klark Teknik simultaneously provide high channel counts, ultra low and deterministic latencies, sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use – to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring.

The Pro6 HyperMac router provides a dual redundant snake connection to the DL371PRO6 Audio System Engine over optical fibre and copper with a bandwidth of 192 bidirectional channels of 96 kHz 24 bit digital audio, up to a distance of 500 m with optical fibre or 100 m with CAT5/5e cable.

Pro6 is compatible with all Midas Pro Series digital I/O units, as well as with any other 96 kHz-enabled AES50-equipped devices. Multiple Pro Series consoles can be connected together to create either larger mixing systems, or multiple discrete mixing consoles can share a common resource of networked and distributed I/O interfaces.

Advanced Navigation Flexibility
At the heart of Midas console navigation are the VCA and Population groups, which mirror the natural work flow used by mix engineers and encourages the development of a mental picture, or "Mind Map", of the whole system. Only the required control elements and associated feedback are presented, allowing users to adopt structured task-based workflows, rather than being presented with an overwhelming ‘sea of knobs’.

Integrated Effects Processors and Graphic Equalisers
The Pro X can simultaneously process up to 8 internal multi-channel effects and DL371PRO6’s 40 bit floating-point audio processing hosts a wide choice of virtual effects devices, which range from dual-mono delay units, stereo modulation and numerous diverse reverberation simulations, multi-band compression, dynamic EQ and multi-channel dual-function dynamics processing. Up to 36 1/3 octave Klark Teknik DN370 Graphic Equalisers (GEQs) are provided, which can be patched into any output.

Pro6 provides comprehensive automatic latency management of all internal routing and processing latency – and also includes compensation for external analogue inserts. All audio samples are synchronised before summing, resulting in absolute phase coherence at the outputs, without the comb filtering effects of competing products that often result in specific frequencies being cancelled out completely.

Midas Pro Fader
Not satisfied with the existing motorised Fader choices in the marketplace, Midas created the Pro Fader, rated for up to a million cycles – three times that of other leading manufacturers - and providing high linearity, robustness, and smooth feel during operation. This decision yielded many other benefits, including total quality control over the manufacturing process and lower costs that could be passed on to customers.

As a digital console manufacturer, Midas has a perspective on the actual application of motor faders that a component manufacturer would not have. The multi-disciplinary development project combined mechanical design, electronic hardware and software optimisation with a rigorous testing programme and an investment in material science to produce the best possible performance in actual operation in Midas Pro Series consoles. Semi-precious metals are used for the wiper fingers for their hard-wearing properties, and precision resistive tracks were created that offered highly linear positional accuracy, coupled with long-term durability and even response in use.

Highest Quality Display Screens
The Pro6 Control Centre features dual 15" full colour daylight-viewable TFT displays for use in all environments, both inside and outdoors. The displays provide visual feedback for the entire system, the on-screen menus instantly navigate to the console overview page, which keeps all vital information (all metering, all Fader positions, mutes and solos) in view at all times.

Digital Precision, Analogue Response
The oversampled digital signal processing algorithms, combined with the fully interpolated and touch sensitive user controls, result in the smooth continuous response and immediacy of working on an analogue console. Parameter adjustment becomes fast and easy, and the continuous phase shift of a swept frequency control is heard without the quantisation artefacts exhibited by competing digital consoles.

Wireless Remote Control
Delivering unprecedented control and mobility, the Mixtender App for iPad* combines control of key functions with the highly responsive system metering, allowing users to take control of Pro6 using an iPad from anywhere in a venue. Support for multiple simultaneous iPads allows FOH and monitor engineers to work collaboratively, enhancing productivity and communication as well as saving valuable time during set-up.

The Mixtender App for iPad is available as a free download from the Apple App Store.

Redundancy - For Peace of Mind
The Pro6 has dual-redundant control computers, and three removable power supplies - only two of which are required for operation. The power supplies, which are interchangeable with those in the DL371PRO6 Engine, are auto-voltage sensing for use on a worldwide basis and provide seamless switchover in the unlikely event of a loss of one of the three power supplies.

Combined with the dual-redundant HyperMac snake and the redundant AES50 networking, no other console goes further in providing peace of mind. This means that during a show the user can focus on what is most important - treating the audience to a flawless sonic experience.
