About the Midas MR12_US1 12-Input Digital Mixer for iPad/Android Tablets
The Midas MR12 is a compact, 12-input digital mixer that eschews a traditional physical control surface in favor of complete control via a wireless connection to an iPad or Android tablet. It combines a hardware interface box, containing the microphone preamplifiers, analog-to-digital conversion, and digital processing, with a dedicated app that provides a virtual mixing console on the tablet's touchscreen. This design offers the sound quality and processing power of a Midas digital mixer in an extremely portable and cost-effective format, ideal for mobile musicians, DJs, presenters, small bands, and installation scenarios where space is limited. The MR12 features 12 inputs, including 4 of Midas's renowned PRO microphone preamplifiers on combo XLR/TRS jacks, ensuring high-quality sound capture from the outset.
The mixer's core functionality is accessed through the Midas MR Series app, which provides an intuitive, fully-featured virtual interface. Users have control over all parameters including gain, 4-band parametric EQ, compression, and reverb/delay effects on each channel, as well as flexible routing to the main mix, subgroups, and aux sends. The app allows for saving and recalling scenes, making it easy to switch between different setups. Connectivity is comprehensive for its size, offering both main and monitor outputs, and it can connect to the tablet via a direct Wi-Fi network created by the mixer itself or through an existing local network. This wireless operation grants the operator freedom to move around the venue while making adjustments.
Built into a rugged, portable casing, the MR12 is designed for easy transport and quick setup. By leveraging a tablet as its control surface, it delivers professional Midas sound and mixing capabilities in a minimal footprint, making high-quality digital mixing accessible and practical for a wide range of users who value simplicity, portability, and sonic performance.
