Midas

collapse expand iconDescription

The Midas M32C puts the processing heart of the flagship M32 console into a rugged yet portable 1U rackmount chassis. With 40 input channels, 25 mix busses and a 32x32 USB audio interface, the M32C has the flexibility you need. Dual AES50 ports allow you to connect up to four DL32 stageboxes. The M32C also packs eight studio-grade effects engines like reverbs, delays, equalizers and dynamics. With the expansion slot, you can add optional Dante or Waves SoundGrid cards too. Control it all wirelessly with M32-EDIT, M32-MIX and M32-Q apps.

High-Resolution Mixing With up to 96 Inputs and 96 Outputs

Forget bulky analog snake cables. The M32C's dual AES50 ports let you connect up to four DL32 stageboxes over CAT-5e cable. This saves setup time and reduces cable clutter. AES50's ultralow-latency lets you route channels anywhere without phase or timing issues. You get pristine 32-bit resolution end to end, with no signal degradation.

Craft Your Mix With 25 Flexible Buses

Shape your mix with 25 mix busses on the M32C. Route channels to subgroups for drum kits or backing vocals, send AUX feeds to monitors or process channels independently. The customizable mix bus layout has mono/stereo busses, six matrix busses, a main L/R plus solo and mute busses. Mix and process each bus separately with EQ, dynamics, delay and more.

Eight Built-in FX Engines Cover All Your Needs

The M32C eliminates outboard FX racks with eight onboard engines like reverbs, delays, equalizers and dynamics modeled after iconic studio hardware. Each FX algorithm is optimized for low-latency performance. Use the classic Midas XL4 stereo delay for lively echoes or the Midas DL251 emulation for natural room ambience. Sculpt tones with the warm vintage EQ or transparent multiband compressor. The extensive FX library covers all your processing needs.

Remote Control With M32-EDIT, M32-MIX and M32-Q Apps

The M32C can be fully remote controlled from a Mac, PC or iPad. M32-EDIT lets you configure the mixer from a computer. The M32-MIX iPad app provides wireless control over all mixing parameters. M32-Q allows up to 10 iOS devices to connect and provide personal monitor mixing for musicians. All apps are free downloads from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
