Midas XL8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Introduction

The Midas XL8 is the first audio console by Midas to feature fully digital operation. The introduction of the console came after a long time of console competition by Yamaha's PM1D, Digidesign's D-show, and the DiGiCo D5. Launched at the Frankfut Music Messe in 2006, the XL8 was a surprise to almost everyone in the field. Midas even paid for journalist airfare to the event as many were not planning on attending the mainly European event. While at this moment a few consoles have been sold, analists predict that regular purchasers of Midas consoles and permanent facilities (e.g. performing arts centers, theatres) will be willing to buy the premium audio desk.
