The Midas PRO3-CC-IP is a comprehensive digital mixing system centered around a compact control surface designed for small to medium-scale live sound applications, including touring bands, theaters, and houses of worship. The "Control Centre" (CC) designation refers to a system configuration that integrates the physical control surface with a separate, remotely located audio engine (the PRO3-IP Rack) via a standard Ethernet cable using Audio Video Bridging (AVB) protocol. This split design allows the mixing console, with its 56 fully processed input channels, to be positioned at the ideal front-of-house or monitor mixing location while the heavy-duty rack containing all preamps, processing, and output stages is placed near the stage, dramatically reducing the length of analog microphone cable runs and improving signal integrity.

The control surface itself provides an intuitive, tactile workflow that builds upon Midas's legendary analog heritage. It features dedicated, color-coded control knobs and buttons for immediate access to channel EQ, dynamics, and aux sends without requiring layers of menu diving. The console offers 56 input channels at its core, each equipped with Midas's renowned, musically tuned microphone preamplifiers (located in the remote rack), along with comprehensive processing including a 4-band fully parametric EQ with variable high- and low-pass filters, a compressor/limiter, and a gate. The system includes 24 mix busses configurable as aux sends, groups, or matrices, and 4 dedicated stereo effects returns, all accessible via the surface's flexible fader banks and central touchscreen display.

This system is designed for reliability and sonic excellence. The PRO3-IP Rack houses all critical digital signal processing and connectivity, featuring 48 mic/line inputs and 24 outputs on XLR connectors, alongside comprehensive digital I/O options including AES3 and MADI. The AVB network link carries all audio and control data bidirectionally on a single CAT5e/6 cable. This architecture provides the full sonic signature and robust feature set of a large-format Midas console in a space-efficient, tour-friendly format. The Midas PRO3-CC-IP delivers professional-grade sound quality, extensive processing, and a user-friendly interface, making it a powerful and trusted solution for engineers who require a compact console without compromising on sonic performance or system flexibility.
