About the Midas HD96-24-CC-IP Live Digital Console Control Centre with 144 Input Channels,123 Mix Buses, 96 kHz Sample Rate and 21" Touch Screen
The Midas HD-96 is a flagship live digital mixing console that represents the pinnacle of live sound engineering technology, combining vast processing power with an intuitive, highly configurable control surface. At its core is a powerful digital engine capable of handling up to 144 input channels and 123 mix buses at a pristine 96 kHz sample rate, providing the headroom and clarity required for the most complex live productions, from world tours to broadcast events. The console features a large, high-resolution 21-inch multi-touch screen as the central visual interface, offering deep access to parameters, comprehensive metering, and customizable workspaces. This is complemented by three additional 15-inch touchscreen satellite displays and an array of dedicated, tactile controls including 24 motorized faders, 24 V-Pot rotary encoders, and extensive buttons for immediate access to functions, ensuring both speed and precision during high-pressure live mixing.
The audio processing within the HD-96 is built upon Midas's legacy of sonic excellence, incorporating the proprietary Midas PRO Series microphone preamplifiers known for their musicality and headroom. The console provides comprehensive processing on every channel and bus, including multi-band dynamics, linear phase EQ, and a full suite of premium effects. Its routing flexibility is exceptional, allowing engineers to configure inputs, outputs, and internal buses to match any system design. A key feature is the integrated KLARK TEKNIK digital signal processing platform, which offers advanced tools like multiband dynamics, graphic EQs, and FX slots that can be inserted anywhere in the signal path. Connectivity is comprehensive, with extensive local I/O and multiple expansion slots for optional digital audio network cards (such as Dante, AES50, or MADI), enabling integration into large-scale, distributed audio systems.
Constructed with a rugged, touring-grade chassis, the HD-96 is designed for reliability in the most demanding environments. Its modular design allows for serviceability and potential future upgrades. The console supports multiple control surfaces and can be linked with external stageboxes and additional DSP engines for expanded system capacity. With its combination of immense processing power, exceptional sonic quality, and a user-centric interface built for speed, the Midas HD-96 provides front-of-house and monitor engineers with an unparalleled tool to craft mixes with absolute confidence, precision, and artistic freedom for the world's largest live events.
