The Midas PRO1 is a compact, yet fully-featured digital live sound console that packages the renowned sonic signature and processing power of the larger PRO Series into a highly portable and cost-effective format. Designed for touring musicians, regional sound companies, and demanding fixed installations such as houses of worship and theaters, it provides a comprehensive mixing solution with a streamlined, single-piece design. The console integrates its control surface, audio engine, and I/O connectivity into one unit, eliminating the need for a separate processing rack. It offers a substantial channel count with full processing on every input, including the acclaimed Midas microphone preamplifiers, comprehensive dynamics, and the musical, responsive equalization that defines the brand's legacy, all accessible through a user-friendly interface centered around a high-resolution touchscreen and dedicated, color-coded rotary encoders.

Operational workflow on the PRO1 is designed for efficiency and speed. The surface provides immediate, one-knob-per-function access to the selected channel's key parameters, such as gain, EQ, and dynamics, without requiring layers of menu navigation. It features motorized faders that automatically switch between layers for inputs, mixes, and matrices, providing direct physical control over a large number of channels from a compact footprint. The console includes a generous number of mix busses for monitors or effects sends, built-in premium effects processors, and flexible routing options. Local I/O is provided on the rear panel, and the system can be significantly expanded through optional digital snake systems like the Midas DL16 or DL32 stage boxes, which connect via a single Ethernet cable using the proprietary Midas AES50 protocol for high-channel-count, low-latency audio transport.

Built with the durability required for life on the road, the PRO1 features a rugged steel and aluminum chassis. Its design prioritizes reliability, with a fanless cooling system for silent operation in critical listening environments. The console supports show file compatibility with the larger PRO2, PRO6, and PRO9 consoles, allowing engineers to scale projects seamlessly. By delivering the essential sound quality, processing tools, and operational feel of a high-end Midas console in a compact, affordable, and integrated package, the PRO1 empowers audio professionals to tackle a wide range of live sound applications with confidence and professional results.
