Midas MR12 – 12-Input Digital Mixer for iPad/Android Tablets with 4 MIDAS PRO Preamps, 8 line inputs, Integrated Wifi Module and USB Stereo recorder
Remote mixing has come a long way in a short time, and MIDAS has packed a few very nice features into MR12.
Borrowing plenty from their mighty M32 mixing console, MR12 provides 4x MIDAS PRO preamps on board, plus 8 line inputs.
MR12 has 4 onboard M32 effect engines. The virtual FX Rack provides access to four true-stereo (8 mono), multi-effects processors including delay, chorus, dynamics – plus the MR12 can run true-stereo reverbs concurrently with 31-band EQ on the main and aux buses, all without the need for any additional hardware.
Awesome AV tech tool
When your application calls for a multiple-microphone setup, such as an onstage panel discussion, press conference or courtroom proceeding, etc, the MIDAS M AIR Gain Sharing technology can easily manage fully automated mixes with up to 4 live microphones. Based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system, the MR12’s gain sharing paradigm automatically controls the levels of all selected microphones in real time, without any gating artifacts or noise modulation.
For larger band applications, check out MR18, with 16 x MIDAS PRO preamps, and lots of outputs via XLR.
Built-In Tri-Mode Wifi Router
Designed for the ultimate in mobility, the MR12 comes with an integrated Wifi module for direct control of your mixer’s functions – without the need to setup and configure an external router. The MR12 gives you the freedom to focus on your mix, while allowing you to move about the venue to experience what every part of the audience is hearing. Plus you can adjust live monitor wedges from the artist’s perspective – or better yet, let them mix their own IEMs and floor monitors via their own tablets.
- Access Point is the easiest way to connect up to 4 clients directly and concurrently (i.e., iPad, Android smartphone/tablet or laptop). This mode should have your remote control up and running in less than a minute.
- Wifi Client allows you to add your mixer to the existing wireless network where the controlling apps and devices are connected.
- Alternately, wired connections can be made directly to your PC, to a local area network (LAN), or when connecting to a dedicated Wifi router, e.g., for extended range or 5 GHz applications.
Recording Simplified
MR12 features a convenient USB connector that makes it easy to store files or record and playback uncompressed stereo WAV files of your mix. Dial in the perfect monitoring mix with effects and zero-latency performance using one of the Aux buses, while recording up to 12 source signals – and send the keyboard player’s MIDI notes to your DAW for recording and editing.
