PRO3 Overview

The MIDAS PRO3 Live Audio System provides entry to the PRO Series of consoles and will ensure that even more touring riders and professional installations can take advantage of MIDAS’ digital features.

PRO3 naturally features the legendary and much-loved MIDAS sound characteristics, which have their roots in the classic MIDAS analogue consoles. It also includes the overwhelmingly successful VCA and POPulation groups, which allow users to navigate channels intuitively, without the hindrance of layers or pages of faders. It also benefits from the same comprehensive choice of effects and dynamics processing as the PRO6 and XL8, including the much-acclaimed XL8 compressor styles.

The PRO3 brings these features and more within reach of tighter budgets, offering 48 input channels with remote controlled mic pres, 27 buses and six stereo effects. At the heart of the PRO3 is the DL351 configurable, modular I/O unit offering the user a choice of 5 I/O cards. The PRO3 can be specified with a number of different I/O units from the Midas DL I/O range. However should investors require more connectivity over time, a simple and affordable upgrade path supersizes the system to the PRO6 or the fully-loaded, 88-channel PRO9 with additional hardware and firmware upgrades.
