UK Training Course

MIDAS is pleased to announce that we are opening up our PRO Series training course to anyone that would like to discover the pleasures of mixing on MIDAS digital. There are 2 courses available; a one day user’s course and a two day system engineer’s course.

Training Course Overview:

1 Day Course (CMDU)

The one day User training course is designed to enable an engineer to walk up to a PRO Series and mix their show. It provides as much hands on time as possible, while explaining the main day to day features of the system. It is very much an operator based course focusing on the control surface and user interfaces. This is also forms part of the two day course.

2 Day Course (CMDSE)

The two day System Engineers course incorporates all the information from the User one day course. In addition we go into more depth regarding system setup, networking, fault finding and diagnostics. The two day course is designed more for system technicians and owners of PRO Series Systems.
