Turkey - Midas' Turkish distributor Atempo has supplied four customised Heritage 1000 consoles to national broadcaster TRT for its regional radio stations. The consoles have been installed in radio studios in Izmir, Trabzon, Erzurum and Diyarbakir, where they are being used for live front of house work as well as for live production broadcast work.

Midas won the contract, which went out to tender, after TRT decided that the H1000 offered advantages over the competition, including its FOH abilities. The tender required that each console should have transformer balanced inputs - an option on the H1000. One of the consoles has 28 microphone and four stereo inputs, while the other three have 20 microphone and four stereo inputs, all with the transformer balanced input option.

TRT engineers visited Midas' factory in Kidderminster, UK, to conduct final quality control tests with international sales manager David Wiggins and technical manager Paul Withers. Upon their arrival in Turkey, the Atempo Group provided operator and test measurement training for TRT engineers.
