Product description The touring package version of the MIDAS PRO6 Live Audio Mixing System is designed for live sound reinforcement such as in concert venues, theaters, houses of worship, broadcast, tours, and more. The system requires the Pro 6 version of the MIDAS DL371 modular, upgradeable, remote processing engine (Sold Separately) connected via Cat 5e cabling to a networked system of up to 11 discrete I/O devices, depending on the user's specific I/O requirements.
The package is designed to work with the DL351 modular stage box (sold separately), which features 56 MIDAS designed microphone inputs as well as eight analog XLR outputs. Additional I/O can be connected using any of the MIDAS DL series digital I/O units as well as the console's three rear panel card slots that can house any combination of MIDAS DL series I/O cards.
The default configuration features eight line inputs and eight analogue outputs, but the flexibility of the system allows for it to be quickly reconfigured with whatever connections are required. Redundant power supplies are included with every system as part of the PRO3's failure-tolerant architecture.
Additionally, the console features 8 auxiliary returns, all with 4-band parametric EQ and insert points. The auxiliary returns may be used as returns using the unit's eight internal multi-channel FX processors or as additional microphone input channels.
The console's 56 possible input channels may be routed to 27 phase coherent mix busses which comprise 16 user-configurable buses (as mixes, subgroups, or mix minus groups) and eight matrix buses. The matrix busses can receive their sources from inputs or groups which allows them to be used as eight additional auxiliary (monitor mix and fx sends) for a total of 24 mixes (plus L, R & Mono) for monitor mixing. All buses can be linked as stereo pairs, except the mono bus. As with other MIDAS digital consoles, the audio paths can be routed to multiple destinations and the console format can be reconfigured live on a scene-by-scene basis.
The flexibility of being able to add both additional I/O and DSP modules allows for the console to be upgraded to a full PRO9 configuration over time, with features like 88 input channels, eight multichannel FX processors and 35 mix busses. Increased flexibility can be added to the system by utilizing a Klark Teknik DN9650 Network Bridge digital format converter offering MADI and Dante connectivity.
The standard PRO6 live audio system is modular, allowing for some variations in physical placement and system size. This version of the console is designed for install applications and arrives in a shipping crate. -

MCA Navigation: deploys the MCA faders of a selected output to the VCA fader bank. In conjunction with Advanced mode, MCA navigation mode controls the contributions of their members to the currently selected bus. - Areas A and B
- Facilitates dual operator use for two independent stereo solo systems with: 4-Channel Configurable "Area B" for dual operators
- Mixtender iPad App
- Provides wireless remote control for key functions of the console. The App automatically selects the right console type so there is no difficult setup procedure.
With the app you can monitor ALL input and output metering simultaneously in real time, and you can remotely EQ any speaker mix with one of the console's on-board KLARK TEKNIK DN370 GEQs.
The app also provides simple, fast local stage mix adjustment by accessing the consoles' MCA (Mix Control Association). Multiple iPads can be used simultaneously and each one can be locked to a single mix, so artists can create their own monitor mixes without changing any other console settings. The app is free to download from Apple's App Store. - Third Party System Integration
