## Designed and engineered in the U.K. recording engineers to be the very essence
of the famous Midas sound. More than 40
years of design experience paired with the
finest choice of premium-grade components
lead to the acclaimed warmth and depth -
bringing out subtle ambience, maintaining
spatial positioning and more effectively
capturing a precise sound image. The
acclaimed sound of the award-winning
Midas microphone preamplifier has inspired
generations of live sound engineers to
their best work, creating sonic panoramas
that have captivated audiences worldwide.

Since pristine sound always begins with the microphone preamplifier, the first point where
the signal enters the console, PRO2 features the latest generation of Midas microphone
preamplifiers, which faithfully reproduce every sonic detail so no part of a performance
will ever be missed. Transparent and pristine sound, low noise and high common-mode
rejection are all hallmarks of this classic design.

Over the years many mix engineers have found this robust and overload-tolerant design
takes on a whole new dimension of sound when driven hard, the crystal-clear audiophile
reproduction giving way to just the right combination of harmonics, a warm and organic
sound heard by millions of concert goers and recorded for posterity on countless live
albums over the years.

Digital Audio Networking


SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) digital audio networking technology from Klark Teknik
simultaneously provides high channel counts, ultra low and deterministic latencies,
sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection and
correction, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use – to meet the demanding
requirements of live concert touring.

PRO2 is compatible with all Midas PRO Series digital I/O units, as well as with any other
96 kHz-enabled AES50-equipped devices. Multiple PRO Series consoles can be connected
together to create either larger mixing systems, or multiple discrete mixing consoles can
share a common resource of networked and distributed I/O interfaces.

Touring Grade Road Case


Rugged and built to last, the PRO2 Touring Pack includes a PRO2-RC Road Case, constructed from
rigid marine grade plywood and durable aluminium extrusions. Composite density foam provides
internal support and superior protection in transit, night after night, city after city.

Advanced Navigation Flexibility


PRO2 incorporates new and innovative methods of channel and mix bay navigation:
FLIP Navigation, FX Navigation, GEQ Navigation, and MCA Navigation. These four options allow
an engineer to easily and efficiently mix a large number of inputs on a compact control surface.
PRO2 also features the ability to display and control any output bus on the input control bay area.
This navigation flexibility makes working with the console as simple as requirements dictate, or
as deep and complex as a user desires. PRO2’s new output section, which features 24 direct bus
selection switches that provide immediate access to up to 24 stereo pairs of output mix buses,
also supports the new navigation modes.

• When in FLIP navigation mode, and the FLIP button is engaged, selecting an output flips the
input faders to become the input channel send levels to the selected output. If the Collapsed Flip
(Hide Unassigned Channels) preference is ticked, then the console will only populate with the
input channels that are assigned to the selected output, otherwise all channels will be displayed.

• When the FX navigation button is engaged, selecting an output which is patched to an internal eff ects processor, this mode will deploy
that effects processor on the display screen and map the ASSIGNABLE CONTROLS to the effects processor. If FADER FLIP is also engaged,
the input channel faders will become the contributions to the effects processor. If COLLAPSED FLIP (Hide Unassigned Channels)
preference is selected, the operator will only be presented with input channels that are sending to that effects processor.

• When the GEQ navigation button is engaged, selecting an output which has a graphic equaliser (GEQ) assigned, this mode will present
the GEQ on the VCA faders. Scrolling the VCA faders left and right will provide access to all 31 GEQ faders. If FADER FLIP is also engaged,
the input channel faders will become the contributions to the selected mix. If COLLAPSED FLIP (Hide Unassigned Channels) preference is
selected, the operator will only be presented with input channels which are sending to that mix.

• If the MCA navigation button is engaged, when an output (mix) is selected, the MCA faders for that output will be deployed on the
VCA fader bank. When MCA navigation is engaged, the MCA faders control the contributions of their members only to the currently
selected bus. This is a unique and powerful mixing tool, which puts Midas in a class of its own for innovation and usability.

Integrated Effects Processors and Graphic Equalisers


The PRO2 can simultaneously provide up to 6 multi-channel digital signal processing engines
for a wide choice of virtual effect devices, which range from dual-mono delay units, stereo
modulation and numerous diverse reverberation simulations, multi-band compression,
dynamic EQ and multi-channel dual-function dynamics processing. Up to 28 1/3 octave
Klark Teknik DN370 Graphic Equalisers (GEQs) are provided, which can be patched
into any output.

PRO2 provides comprehensive automatic latency management of all internal routing and
processing latency – and also includes compensation for external analogue inserts. All audio
samples are synchronised before summing, resulting in absolute phase coherence at the
outputs, without the comb filtering effects of many of its Competitor’s products that often
result in specific frequencies being cancelled out completely.

All effects processors and GEQs are custom-designed to function within this automatic latency
compensation system. This ensures a phase-coherent, sample-accurate mix regardless of
whether the devices are used as channel inserts or on auxiliary buses.

Midas PRO Fader


Not satisfied with the existing motorised fader choices in the marketplace, Midas created the
PRO FADER, rated for up to a million cycles – three times that of other leading manufacturers
- and providing high linearity, robustness, and smooth feel during operation. This decision
yielded many other benefits, including total quality control over the manufacturing process and
lower costs that could be passed on to customers.

As a digital console manufacturer, Midas has a perspective on the actual application of


motor faders that a component manufacturer would not have. The multi-disciplinary
development project combined mechanical design, electronic hardware and software
optimisation with a rigorous testing programme and an investment in material science to
produce the best possible performance in actual operation in Midas PRO Series consoles.
Semi-precious metals are used for the wiper fingers for their hard-wearing properties, and
precision resistive tracks were created that offer highly linear positional accuracy, coupled with
long-term durability and even response in use.

Highest Quality Display Screen


The PRO2 features a 15" full colour daylight-viewable TFT display for use in all environments,
both inside and outdoors. The display provides visual feedback for the entire system, pressing
the HOME key (just to the left of the assignable controls) instantly navigates to the console
overview page, which keeps all vital information (all metering, all fader positions, mutes and solos)
in view at all times.

Digital Precision, Analogue Response


The oversampled digital signal processing algorithms, combined with the fully interpolated
and touch sensitive user controls, result in the smooth continuous response and immediacy
of working on an analogue console. Parameter adjustment becomes fast and easy and the
continuous phase shift of a swept frequency control is heard without the quantisation
artefacts exhibited by competing digital consoles.

Wireless Remote Control


Delivering unprecedented control and mobility, the MIXTENDER App for iPad* combines control
of key functions with the highly responsive system metering, allowing users to take control of
PRO2 from an iPad anywhere in a venue. Support for multiple simultaneous iPads allows FOH and
monitor engineers to work collaboratively, enhancing productivity and communication,
as well as saving valuable time during set-up.

The MIXTENDER App for iPad is available as a free download from the Apple App Store.
