MIDAS XL8 FOR THE FRENCH RENTAL COMPANY FA MUSIQUE

Fa Musique's extensive rental inventory, comprising of MIDAS Venice, Verona, XL3, Heritage 2000 and 3000 consoles has recently been extended with the acquisition of an XL8 digital console.

"We'd had enough of computers disguised as mixing consoles and wanted a console with genuine analogue ergonomics coupled with excellent sonic quality - MIDAS did it for us!", say Frederic André, Fa Musique Managing Director.

EVI AUDIO France Jean Marandet provided technical training for the Fa Musique engineers enabling them to take the XL8 on tour as soon as possible. The brand new console will make its first appearance at the FRANCOFOLIES festival taking place in La Rochelle from July 11th to 15th.

Eric Garnier, EVI AUDIO France Director of Sales, comments, "Although Fa Musique was one of the last rental companies in France to purchase a Heritage 3000, it is the first in the country to buy an XL8, demonstrating a new commitment to the MIDAS brand. We are proud to include them in our European user network".
