About the Midas PRO FADER (550 MM) Set of 5 High-Endurance, Touch-Sensitive 100 mm Motorised Faders (550 mm Cable)
The Midas PRO FADER (550 MM) set represents a premium replacement and service component for the renowned Midas PRO Series live sound consoles, specifically designed to restore or enhance the tactile control surface of these high-end digital mixers. This set includes five individual 100mm motorized faders, each renowned for their exceptional durability, precise movement, and smooth, responsive touch. These faders are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional touring and installation environments, where constant, heavy use can lead to wear and tear on critical control elements. The 100mm travel provides fine resolution for accurate level adjustments, while the integrated motorization allows for recall of stored snapshot positions, a fundamental feature for digital console workflow where faders automatically move to reflect the settings of a selected scene.
Each fader in the set is constructed with high-endurance materials and a touch-sensitive cap, enabling advanced console features such as finger-tip start for selecting channels or triggering functions. The motor mechanism is designed for silent, reliable operation and long-term consistency, ensuring that the fader's physical position accurately reflects the digital control signal without lag or stuttering. The included 550mm cable length provides sufficient slack for installation and routing within the console's internal chassis, allowing technicians to replace faders in various positions on the control surface. This meticulous design focuses on maintaining the original, luxurious feel and performance that audio engineers expect from a Midas console, preserving the intuitive and immediate hands-on control that is vital during live performances.
For front of house and monitor engineers, as well as dedicated console technicians, having access to genuine OEM replacement faders is crucial for maintaining the integrity and reliability of their mixing platform. Installing this set of faders can revitalize an aging console, ensuring that the primary interface for dynamic mix adjustments remains precise and dependable. It underscores a commitment to professional-grade maintenance, allowing flagship consoles to continue performing at their peak through years of demanding service. This component set is an essential investment for any facility or rental house operating Midas PRO Series consoles, ensuring that the tactile user experience—a core part of the Midas legacy—is preserved for the long term.
