Midas M32R-LIVE Digital Console

About Midas M32R-LIVE

The M32R-LIVE Digital Console emerges as a paragon of modern sound engineering, skillfully blending the revered characteristics of classic British console designs with the forefront of digital technology. This rack-mountable digital desktop mixing console is a testament to Adorama's commitment to providing advanced, professional-grade audio solutions for live performance and studio recording.

Crafted with an eye toward the luxury and high-performance car industry, the M32R-LIVE boasts an industry-leading 192 kHz precision, ensuring the highest fidelity in audio processing. Its future-proof floating point audio engine and ultra-low latency design are complemented by top-tier 192 kHz ADC and DAC converters, propelling this mid-format live console into the vanguard of audio innovation.

The M32R-LIVE's ultra-sleek styling is matched by its sophisticated construction, featuring high-quality materials such as carbon fiber for unmatched durability, strength, and a lighter weight than its contemporaries. This console not only captures attention with its appearance but also with its legendary Midas sound quality, a hallmark of excellence that has graced live performances and studio recordings for over four decades.

The M32R-LIVE is built to stand the test of time, with a rock-solid proprietary operating system and an audio engine boasting a mere 0.8 ms latency, delivering state-of-the-art audio performance that will remain cutting-edge for years to come.

Midas's preamplifier design is a masterpiece of sophistication, eliminating imbalances in gain-setting stages and enhancing the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and harmonic distortion to nearly imperceptible levels. The result is a transparent, open, and dynamic sound that, when driven hard, produces a warm and organic sonic character that has been celebrated in countless live recordings.

With over 40 years of experience in the live audio industry, Midas has been at the helm of relentless research and development, backed by a team of 300 world-class engineers. This expertise is the driving force behind the M32R-LIVE, which integrates innovative features such as motorized faders, LCD scribble strips, integrated personal monitor mixing, and true high-speed digital audio networking as standard.

The Klark Teknik DN32-LIVE expansion module further enhances the console's capabilities, offering 32-channel bidirectional audio I/O via USB 2.0 for both live and studio applications. Dual SD/SDHC slots enable independent recording and playback of up to 32 channels of uncompressed WAV files, ensuring seamless sessions and full remote operation across various apps and control surfaces.

The M32R-LIVE is designed to be your "mind-to-sound" interface, providing an intuitive user experience that feels familiar from the start. The Channel Strip centralizes the most crucial processing parameters, optimized with illuminated rotary encoders and switches for precise control over preamp settings, frequency shelving, dynamics, EQ, bus sends, and panning.

Equipped with a 5" day-viewable color TFT display, the M32R-LIVE offers high-contrast, outdoor-visible feedback on adjustments, surrounded by high-precision encoders for immediate access to effects, metering, routing, and more.

The Sends on Fader feature brings the convenience of digital mixing to your auxiliary and output bus mixes, allowing for the creation of powerful sub-mixes without impacting the front-of-house mix. The M32R-LIVE remembers your fader settings, providing instant recall for swift adjustments.

Finally, strategically placed View buttons across the console offer immediate access to detailed information for various functions, enabling direct visual fine-tuning that was once only available on far more expensive consoles.

In summary, the M32R-LIVE Digital Console is a sophisticated, high-quality, and innovative solution for audio professionals seeking unparalleled sound and flexibility in both live and studio environments.
