Sound Productions purchase 13 Midas PRO6 systems

Leading professional audio dealers Sound Productions (Dallas, TX) have invested in 13 PRO6 digital live performance systems from Midas—the first major purchase of the brand new system in the Americas.

“PRO6 extends the lineage of the great Midas analog consoles heard on countless tours and installations,” says Charles Kitch, President, Sound Productions, “and adds many of the unique digital features of the XL8 to the equation, all in a package that is priced within the reach of a lot of our customers. PRO6 is going to be a big hit in a very important price range; we’re expecting a lot of interest from the church market in particular. It’s comprehensive and truly groundbreaking.”

“I knew this PRO6 was a winner the moment I saw—and heard—it at the launch event in Minneapolis,” adds Jeff Humphrey, Sales Manager, Sound Productions. “Looking around the room, which was filled with some very experienced pros, the response was overwhelmingly and unanimously positive. The cell phones lit up and everybody’s jaw hit the floor. As a digital system, PRO6 brings the console to the user, rather than the user having to find the functionality buried in the console, as can be the case with some other digital systems. It has a ton of unique features, and, most importantly, the Midas sound is there, stronger than ever. As long-time Midas partners, we’re proud to lead the way forward with this purchase; PRO6 is set to make a significant impact on our industry—starting now!”

“Sound Productions are known across the industry for their expertise in mixing consoles,” says Matt Larson, Sales Manager, Americas, Midas & Klark Teknik. “They know the business as well as anyone, and are a perfect company to bring the PRO6 to the marketplace—we are thrilled with their substantial commitment to our new product. Sound Productions has a broad customer base that includes everything from touring to church sound, and they support each market with great attention to detail through their extensive inventory, in which Midas is a mainstay. This is an exceptionally versatile system that can be used to precisely address a wide range of applications— Sound Productions’ investment affirms that the market is primed for PRO6.”
