We began the industrial design process by drawing inspiration from a somewhat unexpected source – the luxury and high-performance car industry. Why High-Performance Cars? Simply because the design teams at Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce, and other leading manufacturers are skilled at introducing innovative technological advancements while simultaneously maintaining the feel, essence, and intangible qualities of their cherished brands. In essence, that’s the challenge we too faced when creating the M32R LIVE console. So in order to create a future-forward design that took the Midas legacy even further, we enlisted the help of Rajesh Kutty, a leading industrial designer known for his work with celebrated luxury auto manufacturers such as Bentley, etc. Kutty started by examining the design elements that have made Midas consoles so highly sought after – from the straightforward, logical layout to the unparalleled usability and ergonomics. These are characteristics that live sound engineers around the world have come to rely on, and are key aspects of the Midas legacy. With these design elements in mind, Kutty set forth to create a style that would be modern, innovative, futuristic, and stunningly elegant. Many different construction materials were tested. Countless design variations were explored. And in the end, a style was chosen that represented the perfect marriage between aerodynamic artistry and uncompromising performance. The design is both ultramodern and distinctly classic at the same time. The Landmark in Console History A close look at M32R LIVE reveals that the styling is completely new in every sense of the word. Rajesh Kutty’s automotive-inspired design elements mesh perfectly with a recognizable Midas signature, setting the M32R LIVE apart from any other console. Its beautifully streamlined and elegant form factor completely revolutionizes the experience of live mixing. The Midas M32R LIVE construction is equally impressive and is designed to offer you years of reliable performance while withstanding the demanding environment of live performance venues. M32R LIVE employs a predominantly space-frame construction, with parts of the sub-frame consisting of high-performance aluminum. Multiple alloys have been employed throughout to guarantee maximum component efficiency and an improved performance-to-weight ratio. The M32R LIVE is an innovative, evolved design that brings together modern construction principles and high-tech materials into a styling destined to go down as a landmark in console history. Midas is the Epitome of Excellence In 2013, Midas approached me to create a new design language for Midas and with it a new mixing console. Having designed for Bentley, I am intimately familiar with the challenge of transforming a brand while retaining its precious heritage – in this case, the 40-year-old iconic British mixing console brand Midas. Representing the pinnacle of its industry, Midas is the Epitome of Excellence. When it comes to ergonomics, performance, and style, the aspects of a high-performance luxury car equally apply to a high-end mixing console. I was given a blank sheet of paper for my choice of materials. This meant considering lightweight materials such as top-grade aluminum while using a sophisticated steel construction, for high-impact structural areas. High attention was paid to the tactile elements such as fader knobs and the illumination to work under all background conditions. From the onset, the idea was to break the mold! Hence the form study deliberately tried to break away from the static, bulky feel of today's mixing consoles. Instead of making it more dynamic, ergonomic, yet luxurious. Colors, size, mobility, and hardware were given equal importance to arrive at the M32R LIVE - a true projection of the brand, today. Industry-leading 192 kHz Precision The groundbreaking M32R LIVE console combines legendary Midas sound quality with advanced digital technology, a future-proof floating point audio engine, extremely low-latency design, and industry-leading 192 kHz ADC and DAC converters, creating a revolutionary mid-format live console. M32R LIVE features ultra-sleek styling, offering you a truly luxurious mixing experience. High-end construction materials including carbon fiber provide unparalleled durability and strength, plus substantially lower weight than comparable consoles. The M32R LIVE utilizes award-winning Midas PRO Series microphone preamplifiers and the custom-designed Midas PRO motorized faders that are rated for 1 million life cycles-three times more than other leading consoles. The Midas M32R LIVE is a future-forward console that completely raises the bar for live mixing. Legendary Midas Sound Quality While the Midas M32R LIVE design, styling, and construction will surely turn a lot of heads, it’s the sound that matters most to engineers and performing artists. And that’s where M32R LIVE shines even brighter – as the latest in a long line of pristine-sounding Midas consoles, it descends from a celebrated lineage that literally set the standard in electrical design and sound quality. Ever since Midas consoles first found fame 40 years ago with acts like Billy Joel, Yes, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, and others, the Midas legacy has always been about uncompromising quality and the ultimate in sound reproduction. Backing the analog input section are audiophile Cirrus Logic multi-channel 192 kHz capable A/D converters, which boast a 114 dB dynamic range, ensuring impressively low distortion and low noise performance. Built for Tomorrow The M32R LIVE is a console built for today, and tomorrow – its rock-solid proprietary operating system and the 0.8 ms audio engine provide outstanding state-of-the-art audio performance for years to come. Award-Winning Midas Mic Preamplifier The Midas mic preamp is considered by leading live sound and recording engineers to be the very essence of the famous Midas sound. More than 40 years of design experience paired with the finest choice of premium-grade components lead to acclaimed warmth and depth, bringing out subtle ambiance, maintaining spatial positioning, and more effectively capturing a precise image. The acclaimed sound of the award-winning Midas microphone preamplifier has inspired generations of live sound engineers to do their best work, creating sonic landscapes that have captivated audiences worldwide. Creating Sonic Landscape The Midas preamplifier design eliminates typical imbalances of gain-setting stages, thereby improving the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and harmonic distortion to an almost immeasurable level. The constant high-frequency bandwidth topology assures excellent stability, RF rejection, and noise performance at all gain levels, contributing to its transparent, open, and dynamic sound. But it doesn’t end there, over the years many mix engineers have found that this robust and overload-tolerant design takes on a whole new dimension of sound when driven hard, the pristine audiophile reproduction giving way to just the right combination of harmonics, a warm and organic sound heard by millions of concertgoers and recorded for posterity on countless live albums over the years. Since pristine sound always begins with the microphone preamplifier, the first point where your signal enters the console, M32R LIVE features genuine Midas microphone preamplifiers, which faithfully reproduce every sonic detail so no part of a performance will ever be missed. Transparent and pristine sound, low noise, and high common-mode rejection are all hallmarks of this classic design. The microphone preamplifiers are the very same ones used in the industry standard Midas XL4 and HERITAGE 3000 consoles, which many consider to be the greatest analog live consoles ever built. Over the past decade, the XL4 and HERITAGE 3000 have been utilized by countless top artists including Bon Jovi, Alanis Morrisette, AC/DC, Coldplay, Kid Rock, Metallica, Alicia Keys, Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera, Sir Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, and many more. The M32R LIVE draws from this same legacy to bring you an elite professional level of audio quality and performance.

Whether you’re accustomed to digital mixers or not, the M32R LIVE’s intuitive user interface offers a fluid mixing experience that instantly feels like home. From the first moments of use, the workflow unfolds in a way that strips away obstacles, distractions, and hesitation. Channel Strip The M32R LIVE Channel Strip puts the most important channel processing parameters into one section so that no matter which channel you are working on, the controls are always the same. This highly efficient layout stems from Mida's decades of console design and input from our users. Optimized control illumination ensures a clear indication of levels or status from any viewing angle. Illuminated rotary encoders and switches give you control of preamp settings, frequency shelving, dual dynamics sections, as well as multi-mode fully parametric EQ, bus sends, main, mono, and stereo panning. 5" Main Display M32R LIVE’s 5" day-viewable color TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) display shows the setting parameters you need when you need them. Selected for its high-contrast performance and outdoor visibility, TFT is ideal for concert and open-air festival venues. Flanked by high-precision, context-sensitive tactile encoders, the screen comes to life and immediately reports in high definition all adjustments applied to a wide range of parameters. Intelligent design puts control of vital functions such as Effects, Metering, Routing, and much more 1 or 2 button presses away. Sends On Fader M32R LIVE brings the convenience of digital mixing to your Aux and output bus mixes too, thanks to its integrated Sends on Fader feature. This incredible function allows you to build powerful, dedicated sub-mixes for monitoring, secondary zone feeds, and much more – all without affecting the front-of-house mix or levels. The M32R LIVE allows you to send your choice of signals to any Aux or output bus and then dial in the perfect mix via the channel faders. The console remembers where you set the faders and instantly recalls them when you select a bus for quick adjustments. DCA Groups Across the M32R LIVE, you’ll find 11 strategically placed View buttons associated with various functions. These buttons enable immediate access to information about that specific function. For instance, if you press the View button in the Equaliser section, information for that channel’s EQ is instantly shown on the main display, providing in-depth editing of all related parameters. This direct access to visual fine-tuning gives the engineer a level of control previously available only on consoles costing exponentially more.

This direct access to visual fine-tuning gives the engineer a level of control previously available only on consoles costing exponentially more. Acoustic Integration” - the Live Sound Revolution Legendary 40-year-old British company Turbosound, famous for producing some of the world’s best speaker systems, has teamed up with Midas to seamlessly integrate mixer and speaker systems. We call it “Acoustic Integration”. The M32R LIVE’s ULTRANET bus allows streaming up to 16 channels of pristine digital audio to an array of Turbosound iQ speakers – all on a single CAT5 cable, along with control data to set sound presets remotely. Furthermore, iQ Series loudspeakers feature the “True Physical Modelling” of some of the most popular speakers, which can be easily remote controlled via the M32R LIVE, allowing the sound engineer to apply different speaker models in real-time from the comfort of the mixing desk. “Acoustic Integration” is the next live sound revolution. 100-Band RTA for all Channel/Bus EQs The M32R LIVE includes a 100-band Real Time Analyser (RTA) with full bar and spectrograph views on the M32-EDIT control application. This high-resolution RTA displays the audio energy distribution in 100 frequency bands over time - capturing a sonogram window of a full 10 seconds. You can switch between the large RTA view to display any available signal at full screen resolution, or the combined view, which displays the RTA view above each of the channel and bus EQ curves. This feature lets you see the results of your filtering choices in the audio spectrum directly. Additionally, the RTA can be displayed on top of the 31-band graphic EQs in the FX rack. Monitoring and controlling frequencies has never been easier! 16 Breathtaking FX “Plug-Ins” Based on True Physical Modeling We’ve included 16 breathtaking FX “Plug-Ins” in the M32R LIVE, giving you access to a total of 50+ effects that would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars in hardware. This generation of high-end FX “Plug-Ins” is based on True Physical Modeling of classic audio hardware. We essentially “rebuilt” classic analog gear in the digital domain and included models of legendary processors such as Urei’s 1176, Teletronix LA-2A, and Fairchild 670 compressors as well as the legendary Pultec EQP-1a and EQ5 equalizers, etc. We also included a cutting-edge 5-band multiband compressor. Gain Splitting and Remote Control for FOH and Monitoring Gain Split mode separates channel gain (trim) from the head amp gain, allowing both the FOH and/or the monitor engineer to adjust local trim digitally – and independently of the preamp gain. Additionally, the HA Gain Remote option allows console gains to be remotely controlled by an external console, such as when using the M32R LIVE as a stage box. Routing and Processing Flexibility The M32R LIVE’s routing is extremely robust and flexible. Output signals and XLR outputs are now treated separately, allowing signals from AES50 sources or expansion cards to be routed directly to the M32R LIVE’s analog outputs. For example, you can use the outputs from an M32R LIVE for directly routing back PA or monitoring signals from a main or FOH console. Plus, output tap points can be set as pre- or post-mute for greater usability with your P16 personal monitoring mixers. This is very useful in situations where you don’t want mute groups to interrupt your signal flow. Mighty Tools for Scene and Show Management M32R LIVE’s Cue List provides an innovative way to automate the loading of scenes and “Snippets” at different points during a show. Each of the 500 Cue entries can load any of the 100 Scenes or Snippets separately or at the same time. This gives you an amazing total of 500 Cues x 100 Scenes x 100 Snippets! For example, store your favorite EQ settings for drums on channels 1 - 8 as a Snippet, recallable in an instant as it's own preset, completely independent of the console’s overall scene. It’s like taking a snapshot of a parameter on an input, return, FX slot, bus, Matrix, Main, or DCA group – and saving it for quick access whenever you need it The Midas PRO FADER- Rated for 1 Million Life Cycles In our pursuit to lead the industry in every possible aspect, we decided to design the world’s most reliable motor fader. We dove deep into materials science, employing semi-precious metals that offered the durability we desired. We took painstaking care to design a motorized fader that would provide continuous performance night after night, year after year. After spending a great deal of time working with metal vendors, we developed precision components that offer high linearity, robustness, and a smooth feel during operation. We needed ultra-straight high-grade steel guide rods with smooth polished surfaces – and we got them. We worked closely with our manufacturing partners to maintain the tolerance of our parts, always choosing the most suitable materials and controlling the processes to ensure consistent molding quality and eliminating the warping and deformation caused by shrinking as the parts cool. True, none of this was easy - we spent many long hours developing the Midas PRO FADER design. However, the results speak for themselves. Midas PRO FADERS are rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles – three times that of other leading manufacturers. LCD Scribble Strips A total of 17 programmable LCD Scribble Strips offer channel/bus identification that mirrors what is being controlled. Use them to enter input/output tags, plus add icons you recognize at a glance. Then assign colors to create visual groups for immediate, on-the-fly recognition of similar inputs. Simple, elegant, and effective – plus you’ll never need masking tape again.

(Inspired by Fairchild 670) The COMBINATOR is an amazing 5-band compressor that emulates famous broadcasting and mastering compressors. A highly complex processor, the COMBINATOR utilizes automatic parameter control that produces stunning and “inaudible” results. Makeup-gain for each frequency band will automatically be adjusted by the Spectral Balance Control (SBC) function, to maintain a balanced audio spectrum. The XTEC EQ1 is undisputedly one of the best passive studio equalizers ever manufactured. Virtually indescribable, recording engineers claim the Pultec EQP-1a to be the “secret sauce” of sound enhancement. We analyzed this classic to the core and created an exact physical model that reproduces the multi-faceted sound in painstaking detail. Even the transformers and tube output stage have been faithfully modeled! (Inspired by Pultec EQP-1a) Pultec simply wrote the book on passive equalization. By digitally “rebuilding” every aspect of the original Pultec classic, we captured the very essence in our parametric equalizer XTEC EQ5. Our digital re-incarnation is based on the original model and authentically emulates the smooth character of its rather unique components. (Inspired by Pultec MEQ5) The new SUB OCTAVER provides two channels of earth-shattering sub-harmonics generation, one or even two octaves below the input signal. While originally designed for bass players, the effect can be adjusted for Hi, Mid, and Low-frequency tracking to apply to a wide range of applications. This is your secret weapon for beatboxing... The EDISON EX1 is the reincarnation of our own analog classics. This remarkably effective tool allows manipulation of the stereo field. Selectable M/S input/output modes allow the processing or creation of M/S recorded sound sources. The SOUND MAXIMIZER restores natural brilliance and clarity to any audio signal by adjusting the phase and amplitude integrity to reveal more of the natural texture of the sound, which is often hidden when using some effects and equalizers. (Inspired by Sonic Maximizer 482i) The DIMENSIONAL CHORUS is the perfect emulation of what has been referred to as “the best analog Chorus unit ever created”. Four simple Mode preset buttons activate amazing effects, best described as “space” and “dimension”. Absolutely faithful to the original, multiple preset buttons can be pressed simultaneously. (Inspired by Roland Dimension D Chorus) MODULATION DELAY combines three of the most used time modulation effects into one easy-to-operate unit. Enjoy true-stereo delay with a lush and spacious chorus, topped off with three reverb models to choose from. The Lexicon 480L has been recognized as the gold standard of digital reverb. We have included three of the finest reverb models – Rich Plate, Room, and Rich Chamber. The M32R LIVE’s models precisely capture all nuances based on our “True Physical Modeling” and our algorithms even incorporate the unit’s AD/DA gain-stepping converters – nailing the entire analog and digital circuit paths right down to the last detail. (Inspired by Lexicon 480L ) EXCITERS increase presence and intelligibility in live sound applications and are indispensable for adding clarity, air, and harmonic overtones in the recording studio.

The DN32-ADAT card also has a BNC word-clock in/out capability allowing it to sync with an external clock, or provide the clock signal for other devices. External clock synchronization is possible through the BNC connection, as well as any of the 4 Toslink inputs DN32-MADI High-Performance 32-Channel MADI Expansion Card for M32R LIVE The DN32-MADI Expansion Card brings even more I/O options to the M32R LIVE by instantly enabling it for MADI networking. The MADI, or AES10, protocol has become the industry standard for multichannel audio distribution in both installations and broadcast applications. DN32-MADI provides optical duplex SC-plugs (IEC874-19) to connect with other MADI devices via multimode fiber-optic cable, allowing bridge distances of over 500 meters with galvanic isolation. Dual BNC terminals are also provided for transmission via a standard 75-Ohm coaxial cable of up to 100 m in length. The BNC and fiber-optic connectivity can also be used simultaneously, providing reliable redundancy in mission-critical applications. DN32-MADI card is the perfect solution for integrating the M32R LIVE into current installations using the MADI protocol. DN32-DANTE High-Performance 32-Channel Audinate Dante Expansion Card for M32R LIVE By installing the DN32-DANTE card in place of the DN32-USB card, your M32R LIVE will interface with Dante networks using virtually any 100Mbit/s or Gigabit Network infrastructure with DSCP-based QoS – providing dependable multi-channel audio that may coexist with other IP-based data traffic. The DN32-DANTE card utilizes 24-bit signal transmission with sample-accurate synchronization and low latency, ensuring the highest audio integrity. And a secondary input allows you to set up a seamless, redundant network. Full remote control of the M32R LIVE is possible using the integrated Ethernet switch. When the DN32-DANTE card is connected to a computer, Audinate’s Dante Controller application gives you full control over configuration and signal routing among your Dante-enabled devices. DAW Ready-MIDI Plus Mackie Control & HUIProtocols Thanks to its onboard MIDI ports, the M32R LIVE console can function as a high-level, large-format control surface, similar to Mackie Control and HUI, and integrates seamlessly with most popular DAW platforms. M32R LIVE’s motorized faders can be used to send position information to the onscreen DAW faders, while each bus’ mute and solo buttons control their onscreen counterparts. This powerful control surface relationship, which functions bidirectionally between the M32R LIVE and your DAW, allows you to work more quickly and attend to the finer nuances of the overall mix. After all, mixing with your hands puts you in “touch” with your project, providing a level of finesse that can mean the difference between a good recording session – and a work of art! Or, would you rather use a mouse? M32-EDIT (PC, Mac, Linux) Just as in life, you can never have too many connections – and this applies to controlling the console itself. Simply connect the M32R LIVE to a laptop or desktop computer via LAN, wireless network, or Ethernet cable, and take total remote command of the M32R LIVE. Move a fader on the PC, it moves on the M32R LIVE; press a button on the computer, and the button toggles on the M32R LIVE. The M32-EDIT app is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to use any MCU (Mackie Control Universal) compatible control surface to remotely control the M32R LIVE. This feature provides an extremely powerful and useful solution for the side of stage monitor control, individual control of multiple installed M32R LIVEs, as well as multiple remote control stations of the same M32R LIVE. The M32-EDIT also lets you create scenes on your PC beforehand to minimize the time required for sound checks. With the M32-EDIT software for PC, Mac, and Linux, your computer becomes your virtual M32R LIVE M32-MIX (iPad) Front of House is wherever you and your iPad are – thanks to the new M32 MIX App for iPad. Just plug in a wireless router via Ethernet cable to the M32R LIVE, and then wirelessly connect up to 10 iPad devices, which is especially handy for custom monitor mixes. The M32-MIX App lets you control all 32 mic inputs, 8 Aux inputs, and 16 buses – plus the FX stereo returns and the Matrix, Main, and DCA levels. Select a fader bank on the iPad, slide the virtual faders and M32R LIVE’s motorised faders instantly mirror your action. Additionally, thanks to the Sends on Faders functionality, your iPad now controls 16 independent monitor mixes. The M32-MIX App gives you the flexibility and mobility to make running sound a breeze!
