The PRO6 is being operated by the club's four house technicians, bringing Midas sound quality to a diverse selection of artists who appear at the club, which has included Joss Stone, Nitzer Ebb, Doom, Method Man, De La Soul, Candy Dulfer and Jethro Tull.
Club owner Markus 'Mäke' Kappeler decided to buy the PRO6 in line with the club's tradition of installing high end equipment throughout. "I was only interested in buying a Midas, since these consoles suit every engineer's needs and puts a smile on their faces," he says. "A big plus of installing the PRO6 in our club was its compact size compared to the prevous desk, which has resulted in extra tickets for audiences and for corporate events."
Edi Mösch, chief technician at the X-Tra adds: "I'm more than happy with the PRO6, and was able to learn all the important functions and configuration details to provide support for the FOH technicians after just a few conversations with Audio Tech. The positive feedback I get every show is stunning."
X-Tra also purchased a Klark Teknik DN9331 Rapide graphic controller to handle system EQ, plus monitor EQ for smaller shows where monitors are controlled from FOH rather than the Midas XL250 on stage. This allows technicians to stand in front of the stage wedges to plot the desired EQ curve on the Rapide, which is connected via a cat5 link to the PRO6.
