Midas

Description

The Midas Venice F32 is a 32-channel digital/analog hybrid mixer. Its a state-of-the-art platform for audio mixing, recording and processing. From the Venice' horizontal fader panel, through the class-leading parametric EQ filters, to the latest expression of the legendary Midas mic pre, this is a console without compromise.

Hybrid VeniceF bridges the gap between analog and digital audio consoles and offers the user the ease-of-use, warmth, feel, and zero-latency of analog, combined with the power, choice and flexibility of outboard digital processing. Although specifically designed for live sound, the superb audio performance and FireWire digital audio interface mean that the VeniceF is equally at home in recording and mixdown applications.

VeniceF FireWire interface can be used with any computer fitted with a 1394 port and is effectively a multichannel digital audio link. This connects directly to your computer and allows the use of 3rd party audio processing software in conjunction with the console. Applications include multitrack recording from the VeniceF's digital direct outputs, software-generated FX processors driven from aux sends or direct outputs, and your favorite plug-ins inserted on input channel FireWire send/returns. The VeniceF embodies quality, from its rugged construction and top-of-the-range components through to the unmistakable Midas sound, it is obviously a truly professional audio console.

Although the FireWire interface will work with nearly all computer-based DAWs; included in every VeniceF package is a free 60-day trial version of RECORD, by Propellerhead. This software suite includes multitrack recording, virtual racks full of FX and dynamics processing, and even a software mixer, which can be patched in parallel with the analog VeniceF permitting full external digital processing of each VeniceF input channel.

The frame is of typical Midas steel construction, providing sufficient strength and rigidity for a hard life on the road. Potentiometers are metal-shafted, and individually nutted to the steel fascia panel. The console is finished in the well-known Midas livery, with the addition of striking metallic corner protector inserts.
