Midas has been designing and manufacturing live performance mixing consoles

for the world’s most demanding sound engineers, performers and production

rental companies since the early 1970s.

The evolution of Midas consoles throughout the 30-year history of this classic

marque has always paralleled, and often led, increasingly sophisticated audio

innovations for the world-wide entertainment technology industry. Raising the

standards of sonic quality through continual research and development has

always been - and still remains - our overall aim.

Equally important to us is the design and implementation of many new areas of

control functionality and user-friendly desk operation to anticipate and

accommodate the rapidly changing and expanding needs of audio professionals

who specify Midas consoles for their major tours, festivals, international events,

broadcast projects and prestigious fixed installations.

The Midas design pedigree has, since our birth, been founded upon a track

record of achieving a unique symbiosis with working sound engineers around

the planet - engineers who respect and endorse our proven technology in the

light of their responsibilities to their internationally-based clients who are

themselves the leading lights of our industry.

Midas - A Brief History

Since 1969 Midas has been the premier console brand

throughout the world of professional audio. Midas consoles have

been on the road with acts like Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney,

Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, Coldplay and Kylie just to name a

few. From the famous Pro Series, the benchmark XL3 and XL4,

and onto the current industry standard Heritage 3000, Midas

remains the first choice for the most discerning of professional

live sound engineers and has set the standard in the industry.

“The Midas sound” is a commonly heard phrase in the world of

pro audio and refers to the sonic performance of Midas consoles

- the mark by which others are judged. It comes simply from a

unique combination of a superb dynamic range, very low noise

floor, flawless audio path transparency and a beautifully warm

EQ and the industries finest microphone pre-amp - plus thirty

years of experience from a design team that not only

understands audio but also loves music.

Sonic performance is only part of the reason behind Midas’

success; there is also the outstanding product reliability. Midas

consoles are able to handle thousands of gruelling events and

hundreds of thousands of miles of punishing touring without

major fault. To back up our impeccably solid construction and

proven road-worthiness there is a three year global warranty, so

our support network of dealers and distributors are on call at all

times should any of our products need any kind of after-sales

service.

Midas’ proven technology and track record has made it an

essential tool in numerous applications. Countless theatres,

broadcasting suites, Houses of Worship, conference specialists

and installation companies entrust their live sound requirements

to Midas. The reason for this confidence is simple. It is founded

on the fundamental philosophy behind Midas: totally

uncompromising research, design, engineering and

manufacturing which results in a product synonymous with

excellence.

Verona - A Step Above The Ordinary

Verona is, quite simply, the desk the industry has been asking

Midas for. It takes the concept of the ultra-compact Venice,

Midas’ best selling console of all time, and elevates it to the next

level. Verona delivers more inputs, more features, along with

legendary Midas quality in a package that revolutionises the 8

buss market. Visually, the console looks stunning; despite it’s

physically modest proportions, it feels like a full-sized Midas to

work on; and of course, most importantly of all, it sounds as

good as it looks.

So what exactly is Verona?

Firstly, it’s a truly professional desk aimed squarely at the

professional market. Mechanically and electronically Verona is

much more than just another 8-bus console. If you are primarily

motivated by audio quality, rigid mechanical construction, long-

term reliability and high residual values, then it is THE 8-buss

console.

The Verona series consists of 6 models ranging from 24 up to a

massive 64 inputs, and incorporates all the features and

components that make it look, sound and feel like a true Midas.

It has been designed from the ground up by the same team

responsible for the XL4 and the Heritage Series consoles,

including the industry-standard Heritage 3000.

Anyone who has ever bought a Venice and loved it is going to

be captivated by the Verona – you get more inputs, more

features and that all-important Midas quality. Available as an

install or touring package the Verona will handle anything from

houses of worship to broadcast / recording, theatre to corporate

applications, and of course concert sound.
