The PRO6’s Control Centre has been designed as the optimum size for its function. All controls are within easy reach, and the concept of “bringing the console to the engineer” is fully exploited, freeing the mix engineer from thinking in terms of “layers” or “pages”. Instead, the PRO6 uses configurable colour-coded VCA and POPulation groups, which are deployed onto the control surface at the push of a button.
This method was pioneered on the Midas XL8 Live Performance System, which is acclaimed by live sound engineers worldwide as making console navigation faster and more intuitive. Midas has designed the PRO6 Control Centre entirely around this concept, using different colours to navigate input channels in the same way that engineers have traditionally used coloured tape and fader knobs to aid in console navigation.
