Introduction

Midas has invested seven years of research and development into multi-channel high performance digital audio networking systems. The Midas network and input/output devices are already in regular use with the XL8 and PRO Series consoles in hundreds of locations worldwide every day.

Midas has now made this technology available to everyone as part of a portfolio of products including digital snakes and digital audio distribution systems. Midas offers many configurations from an ultra-affordable 48/16 system to highly complex long distance multi location distribution and splitter systems. All Midas mic amp functions are fully remote controllable from PC based software with optional hardware controllers.
