The NCH's system consists of the Midas Siena together with a KT DN9331 RAPIDE graphic controller which gives direct access to the functions of KT digital EQs, providing instant recall of fader positions via 31 long travel motorised faders; three KT DN9344E quad equalisers and two KT Square ONE Dynamics units. Wireless control of the system is provided by KT's ELGAR software. The three amplifier racks are each run by a KT DN9848E System Controller to provide 12 bi-amped wedge monitor mixes, again all under ELGAR control.
Midas' STS function allows monitor engineers at the NCH to gain access to the EQ curves displayed on the RAPIDE, or as an option on a wireless tablet PC, by hitting the solo buttons on the console, giving them complete control of all the EQ functions for that output.
Paul Kohlmann, chief engineer at the NCH adds: "The ease of use and internal routing capabilities of our new monitor system makes for an extremely compact and versatile EQ, and the eight channels only require 4U of rack space.''
