MIDAS PRO6 marks a first in the Middle East
Leading Dubai-based events and audio company Se7en Productions has selected a MIDAS PRO6 for its new High Definition (HD) OB truck, making it the first OB truck in the Middle East be to fitted with a MIDAS digital console.
Supplied by Nicolas Kyvernitis Electronics Enterprises (NMK), exclusive distributors of MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK products in the United Arab Emirates, the set-up will be deployed for major sports events, live performances and national celebrations across the region.
Thanks to the MIDAS PRO Series' integral 5.1 panning and monitoring capabilities, the system can support 5.1 mixes out of the box and enables engineers to have their own mix at a concert rather than relying on the FOH mix. The digital advantages of the PRO6 make it particularly suited to an OB role as NMK's marketing manager Richie Hiranandani explains:
"The cabling required for power and processing is minimal, making it a beautifully compact and flexible system, while retaining the signature preamps and quality MIDAS sound made famous by analogue consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage 3000."
