World-class Midas preamps and processing:
Live sound pros have long considered Midas preamps the gold standard in sound reinforcement. There's a good reason international legends such as Pink Floyd, the Beach Boys, and Billy Joel were among the early adopters of Midas boards. In over 40 years, that reputation hasn't faded. When you hear the sound of the Midas M32's preamps at work, you'll know any mix you create will start off with premium sound. Their high common-mode rejection ratio and low harmonic distortion produce impressive transparency. But Midas's analog technology isn't the only thing special about the M32's sound. All the on-board I/O features the same Cirrus Logic converters found in many respected studio interfaces. What's more, the DSP at the heart of this board uses a 40-bit floating-point structure for a full 112dB dynamic range.
Midas M32 is the most intuitive digital mixer you'll meet:
Even if you're already familiar with digital console workflow, stepping up to a new digital desk can be an intimidating experience. Sweetwater live sound engineers love how easy they could transition to the Midas M32, thanks to its simple layout and workflow. There are tactile controls for every critical function, and a daylight-viewable 7" TFT display with soft controls covers the rest. Motorized faders, LCDs, and more let you effortlessly switch modes and stay on top of every part of your mix. Ultimately, these elements add up to a digital mixer you'll have down in no time.
Includes 25 premium Midas Pro motorized faders:
Midas went back to the drawing board to develop the best motorized faders possible. These faders feature ultra-straight, high-grade steel guide rods with smooth, polished surfaces. Although they fluidly glide between fader layers, they feel substantial, providing an ideal balance of tactile response and smooth motorized operation. With their 1-million-cycle rating (three times that of other leading manufacturers), you can bet these faders will never wear out on you.
