Midas M32R LIVEDigital Console for Live and Studio with 40 Input Channels, 16 Midas PRO Microphone Preamplifiers and 25 Mix Buses and Live Multitrack RecordingDescriptionOur goal for M32R LIVE was to combine the best of classic British console designs with advanced modern technology to completely redefine what a rack mountable digital desktop mixing console can offer. We began the industrial design process by drawing inspiration from a somewhat unexpected source – the luxury and high-performance car industry.Why High-Performance Cars? Simply because the design teams at Aston Martin*, Bentley*, Rolls Royce*, and other leading manufacturers are skilled at introducing innovative technological advancements while simultaneously maintaining the feel, essence, and intangible qualities of their cherished brands. And in essence, that’s the challenge we too faced when creating the M32R LIVE console.So in order to create a future-forward design that took the Midas legacy even further, we enlisted the help of Rajesh Kutty, a leading industrial designer known for his work with celebrated luxury auto manufacturers such as Bentley, etc.Kutty started by examining the design elements that have made Midas consoles so highly sought after – from the straightforward, logical layout to the unparalleled usability and ergonomics. These are characteristics that live sound engineers around the world have come to rely on, and are key aspects of the Midas legacy.With these design elements in mind, Kutty set forth to create a styling that would be modern, innovative, futuristic, and stunningly elegant.Many different construction materials were tested. Countless design variations were explored. And in the end, a styling was chosen that represented the perfect marriage between aerodynamic artistry and uncompromising performance. The design is both ultramodern and distinctly classic at the same time.FeaturesLive performance and studio recording digital console with up to 40 simultaneous input channels16 award-winning Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers25 time-aligned and phase-coherent mix busesAES50 networking allows up to 96 inputs and 96 outputs32 bi-directional channels of live recording/playback on dual SD/SDHC (cards not included)Up to 3 hours of 32 channel PCM recording in one session - stored as uncompressed WAV filesHigh-performance aluminium and high-impact steel structureRack mount brackets included for ultimate flexibility40 bit floating point digital signal processing8 DCA and 6 mute groups8 digital signal processing effects engines17 Midas PRO motor fadersDaylight viewable 5” full colour TFT display screen32 x 32 channel USB 2.0 audio interfaceDAW remote control emulations of Mackie Control* and HUI* protocolsOptional wireless remote control with Midas Apps for iPhone* and iPad*Auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply10-Year Warranty Program*Designed and engineered in the U.K.SpecificationsOutput level, XLR Connectors (Nominal / Maximum): +4 dBu / +21 dBuOutput Impedance, XLR Connectors (Unbalanced / Balanced): 50 ? / 50 ?Input impedance, TRS Connectors (Unbalanced / Balanced): 20 k? / 40 k?Non-Clip Maximum Input Level, TRS Connectors: +21 dBuOutput Level, TRS (Nominal / Maximum): +4 dBu / +21 dBuOutput Impedance, (Unbalanced / Balanced): TRS 50 ? / 50 ?Phones Output Impedance / Maximum output Level: 40 ? / +21 dBu (Stereo)Residual Noise Level, Out 1-16 XLR Connectors, Unity Gain: -85 dBu 22 Hz-22 kHz, unweightedResidual Noise Level, Out 1-16 XLR Connectors, Muted: -88 dBu 22 Hz-22 kHz, unweightedResidual Noise Level, TRS and Monitor out XLR Connectors: -83 dBu 22 Hz-22 kHz, unweightedDisplayMain Screen: 5" TFT LCD, 800 x 480 Resolution, 262k ColoursChannel LCD Screen: 128 x 64 LCD with RGB, Colour BacklightMain Meter: 18 Segment (-45 dB to Clip)PowerSwitch-Mode Power Supply: Auto-Ranging 100-240 VAC / (50/60 Hz) ± 10%Power Consumption: 70 WPhysicalStandard Operating Temperature Range: 5°C – 40°C (41°F – 104°F)Dimensions: 478 x 617 x 208 mm(18.8 x 24.3 x 8.2")Weight: 14.3 kg (31.5 lbs)
