The Midas MR18 is a compact, 18-input digital mixer that utilizes a dedicated app on an iPad or Android tablet as its complete control surface, combining professional audio quality with exceptional portability. It houses the hardware for Midas's renowned PRO microphone preamplifiers, analog-to-digital conversion, and digital processing in a single rack-mountable unit, while the intuitive MR Series app provides a fully-featured virtual mixing console. This design offers the sonic signature and routing flexibility of a Midas digital mixer in an extremely space-efficient and cost-effective format, ideal for mobile musicians, podcasters, small venues, and fixed installations where a traditional console is impractical. The MR18 features 18 inputs, including 8 of Midas's discrete PRO microphone preamps on combo XLR/TRS jacks, ensuring pristine sound capture from microphones and instruments.

The mixer's complete functionality is accessed through the wireless app, which provides control over all parameters including gain, 4-band parametric EQ, compression, and 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 for various acts or events. Connectivity is comprehensive, offering 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 3U rack chassis, the MR18 is designed for easy transport and reliable performance, delivering professional Midas sound and mixing capabilities in a minimal footprint.
