Ultimate Front of House Performance:The Heritage 2000 is probably the most powerful Front of House live performance mixing console in its sector. Equally at home in a theatre or outside broadcast truck the Heritage 2000 offers the superb audio performance and automation features of the unique Heritage 3000.

Interchangeable Modules: As with all Midas consoles the H2000 design is an easily serviceable fully modular design. Stereo modules can be easily swapped with mono modules in any input position within the frame.

Frame Sizes: The H2000 has a variety of different frame sizes from 24 to 64 input frames.

Improved XL4 Mic pre Amp: The H2000 features a new mic amplifier which further improves on the XL4 design giving a CMR improvement of +30dB whilst retaining the XL4's constant HF bandwidth topology which assures excellent amplifiers stability, RF rejection and noise performance at all gains.

Equaliser: The warm, responsive and friendly four band fully parametric XL4 EQ. Enough said.

Direct Outputs: Every input module is fitted with a direct output as standard with its own level control and front panel switching which selects the source from pre / post equaliser.

12 Audio Sub Groups: Simple front panel switchable routing

112 Aux Sends: Simple front panel switchable routing

Inserts: Each channel has a half normalised fully balanced insert send and return point which can be switched in or out from the front panel and set as either pre or post equaliser.

Spacial Image System (SIS™): Each input module is fitted with the Midas Spacial Image System (SIS‰) for use with Left, Centre, Right loudspeaker systems. When SIS is active, the unique image control rotary fader modifies the action of the pan control allowing the input to be fed into all 3 outputs. This can be particularly useful for distributing the load of high energy, centre panned sounds across all FOH loud speaker arrays.

VCA Groups and Mute Groups: Each channel can be controlled by any combination of the 10 VCA master faders and 10 mute masters. Assignment of these busses can be under automation control. A safe switch can disconnect the channel from all mute groups and / or VCA control.

Link capability: Direct inputs on all outputs allow the possibility to link consoles together or to a sidecar / extender.

Matrix: As standard the 8 matrix outputs derive their signals from the 24 mix sends, left, right and mono masters creating a 27 X 8 matrix.

Automation: The automation system can store and recall up to 500 scenes. VCA sub group routing is automated as well as all input and major output mutes. Input channels and VCA sub group levels can be also controlled via the automation system.

Mechanical and Electronic Design Modules: All modules are extruded to provide exceptional modular strength.

PCB Material: Military specification PCB material (FR4).

Frame: Zinc plated steel chassis in 3 box sections to provide exceptional strength. The audio is separated from digital automation control by the steel chassis along the length of the console. Any interconnections are filtered on both ends of the cable to ensure audio purity.

Faders: P&G faders used throughout.

Amp Design: Low noise-summing amplifiers

Buss design: Hum / noise cancelling busses

Potentiometers: High cost, hermetically sealed Alps potentiometers used throughout.

Components: Tight tolerance resistors and capacitors used throughout. Stable circuitry banishing oscillation.

Warranty: Midas has confidence in their products resulting in an industry beating 3-year warranty.
