Capture Every Nuance With Midas PRO Preamps

Capture Every Nuance With Midas PRO Preamps  

The M32R LIVE boasts 16 of Midas' renowned PRO microphone preamps, respected by engineers for their low noise and transparency. These preamps help the M32R capture every subtle harmonic detail and expressive nuance, and translate it all into the digital realm with stunning accuracy. You'll hear a marked increase in clarity and depth compared to preamps from less advanced digital consoles. The overload-tolerant design even lets you drive the preamps hard for pleasing saturation when tracking guitars or drums.  

Dial In Your Dream Mix

With 25 mix busses at your command, the M32R LIVE provides ample flexibility for crafting complex mixes. Send channels to multiple auxiliary mixes for monitoring while creating dedicated effects chains. Over 50 onboard effects like reverbs, delays, EQs and compressors let you sculpt and polish each channel. The M32R LIVE's mixing power makes it easy to achieve a rich, balanced sound whether mixing a live band or recording multitrack sessions in the studio.   

Streamlined Workflow With Tactile Controls

Despite its comprehensive mixing capabilities, the M32R LIVE maintains an intuitive, hands-on workflow. Dedicated knobs provide direct access to key parameters like EQ, effects sends and more. Motorized faders allow smooth level control when riding vocals or bringing in effects. The full-color 7" display gives you constant visual feedback so you can make precision adjustments at a glance while keeping an eye on the stage or studio environment. This potent combination of tactile controls and visual monitoring makes the M32R LIVE a joy to mix on.
