Midas Consoles

Founded in London in 1970 by Jeff Byers and Charles Brooke, today the company is part of the Music Tribe group of brands.

[1][2] The XL3 and XL4 established Midas as a leading live console manufacturer for the next two decades,[3] and the XL series would grow to include the XL200, and XL250, as well as smaller models targeted at the club and regional sound market.

Midas introduced their first digital console, the flagship XL8, at Musikmesse Frankfurt in 2006. Notable XL8 features included three preamps per channel to enable front of house, monitor and broadcast control surfaces to be fed from the same input rack, dual redundant master control processors, and integration with the Klark Teknik Helix EQ system via the Rapide remote.

[4] The following year at InfoComm, Midas introduced the PRO1 digital console, with an even smaller physical footprint and lower price point than the PRO2/PRO2C.

At the core of all Midas Pro desks is standard PC motherboard with 4GB flash card (for OS and data storage).

In December 2009, Midas and Klark Teknik were acquired by Music Group, a holding company chaired by Uli Behringer.
