VeniceU
At rst glance, VeniceU looks like a straightforward, easy-to-use analogue audio
console. However, VeniceU continues MIDAS’ engineering concept of a hybrid mixer
oering a fusion of both analogue and digital technology.
One look at the VeniceU conrms that this console continues the legacy established
by the ground-breaking MIDAS consoles which have been at the heart of so many
historic live performances. From the VeniceU’s class-leading EQ lters, to the latest
expression of that legendary MIDAS mic pre, this is a console which compromises
only on price.
The VeniceU’s buss structure is identical to the larger VeniceF - six aux sends, four
groups, stereo masters, discrete mono buss and a 7 x 2 matrix. All buss outputs
feature XLR connectors and insert capability. All six aux sends are switchable pre or
post fade, and the two aux busses designated as monitor (fold back) sends are also
switchable pre/post EQ on an individual channel basis.
The equaliser section features four bands of superb MIDAS EQ, with swept lters
on all four bands, an EQ in/out switch and LED status indicator. Additional switch
functions with LED status indication are mute and solo. Metering is provided by a
highly accurate four element LED display.
VeniceU’s USB audio interface combines the power and convenience of digital audio
processing with the warmth and feel of an analogue audio mixer. The USB interface
can be used with any computer tted with a USB port, and is eectively a 16-channel
(8 x 8) digital audio buss, which connects directly to your computer and enables the
use of any 3rd party audio processing software in conjunction with the console.
All six aux busses, four subgroups, both matrix busses and the stereo masters route
to the USB interface, up to eight busses at one time. Applications include multi-track
recording from the VeniceU’s digital buss outputs, and “plug-in” FX processors driven
from aux sends and returned to the stereo channels’ digital USB inputs - all with a
heart of pure MIDAS.
