PRO Series Introduction
The Midas PRO Series Live Audio Systems employs technology developed from the
class-leading XL8, oering the same exemplary sample - synchronised audio performance.
The PRO series can provide up to 104 simultaneous input processing channels and up
to 35 discrete mixes in monitor mode, all of which feature EQ and a choice of dynamics
processing options. By adding additional I/O hardware the PRO series network can be
expanded to 288 inputs x 294 outputs with point-to-point routing anywhere within the
network which can then be patched and routed on a scene-by-scene basis via a powerful
snapshot automation system.
The PRO series eects and dynamics algorithms are more than superb quality, easy-to
use SHARC-based eects processing. They are incorporated within the automatic delay
management system, so that wherever they are patched, the audio will be absolutely
phase-coherent when summed into your mix. It is possible to assign up to 36 1/3 octave
Klark Teknik DN370 graphic EQs, for demanding monitor applications, all of which can be
controlled using the optional Klark Teknik DN9331 Rapide moving fader remote. All of this
in addition to the four types of compression available on inputs, and ve types on outputs.
FX options, congurations, settings and patching can change completely with each scene
recall. The possibilities are almost endless.
Reliability is designed into all Midas products, and all PRO Series hardware elements
feature redundant power supplies as standard. The FPGA processing engine is of modular
construction, with the option of a spare module which will automatically deploy in the
event of an engine module failure (n+1 model). Due to its modular conguration the DSP
engines of both the PRO3 and PRO6 can be loaded and upgraded to PRO9 specication.
PRO Series digital audio transport uses the international AES50 standard, featuring feed-
forward error correction which provides superior protection against lost data packets and
synchronization issues when compared to other Ethernet cable based systems. All links
between PRO series hardware elements support redundant cables for copper and optical
options are available on the PRO6 and PRO9.
The Control Centre houses dual redundant Linux master control computers (MCs), both
running full versions of the relevant PRO Series Linux software. Either MC is capable of
running the entire system on its own and control can be switched between the two
without any loss of audio.
