"I wish I'd tried the PRO6 sooner," says FOH engineer Greg Bess, a long term Midas user with over 30 years' experience, encompassing rockers Slayer to soul stars Simply Red and many in between. "I've tried just about every digital desk out there and always ended up going back to my trusty Midas XL4. But the PRO6 is different. It absolutely clears the bar in meeting the Midas standard of audio quality and accuracy."
Having first used a PRO6 with The Offspring, a band he has mixed for 14 years, Bess had no hesitation in specifying the console for Derulo's critical first headlining tour. "Midas started out with audio as the cornerstone and followed through with ergonomics and solid construction," he s

Comprising four full-range models - the NE10, NET12, NET15 and NET215 - they are available both in the active versions with powerful bi-amplifiers, or with sophisticated crossover filters in the passive models. They are designed as partners for Proel's equally new SW series of 15" and 18" sub-woofers. They are also joined by a new stage monitor, the NET12MA.
In order to obtain optimised acoustic response, Proel's engineers decided to rely on the long time experience of Celestion loudspeakers. For each model, the Italian R&D team looked for the most suitable acoustic configurations, optimising the crossover and equalisation filters of the complex processing section and the new high frequency waveguides
