SCOTTISH RENTAL COMPANY EFX ORDERS TWO MIDAS XL8s

EFX announced during PLASA 07 that it has ordered two full Midas XL8 Live Performance Systems for immediate delivery. The rental company has also pre-ordered two Klark Teknik DN9696 high resolution hard disk recorders designed for the live recording environment, a pre production unit of which was shown at PLASA.

Based in Bathgate near Edinburgh, EFX is a long-time Midas user and has taken the decision to invest in the next generation Midas and Klark Teknik digital product range.

“We looked at digital consoles for a long time, and without exception felt that nothing out there could live up to what our existing stock of analogue consoles could already offer,” says EFX’s John Ramsay. “We chose XL8 on its audio quality above any other consideration. It simply cannot be compared to other boards on the market, and we know our new consoles will enhance any job they go out on.”

Editor’s information:
Midas live performance mixing consoles have been used by the world's most demanding sound engineers, performers and rental companies for three decades. The company strives to raise the standards of sonic quality through its programme of continual research and development, implementing new control functionality and user-friendly desk operation to anticipate and accommodate the ever-evolving needs of audio professionals who specify Midas consoles for their major tours, festivals, international events, broadcast projects and prestigious fixed installations.

Klark Teknik was founded in 1974 and in the years immediately following, their innovative approach to design and development allowed them to introduce some truly groundbreaking designs. Klark Teknik was responsible for the world’s first digital delay and digital reverb units, however it was their concepts for equalisation devices that really changed the world of professional audio resulting in the DN370 and the famous DN360. Today Klark Teknik continues to bring innovation in design and dedication to engineering and sonic quality in both the analogue and digital realm of signal processing, with the Square ONE and Show Command ranges updating the brand.
