4 M AIR User Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the new MIDAS M AIR series digital mixer.
These mixers oer plenty of analog I/O for most performances in a very compact
form factor that is easy to transport, but doesn’t sacrice any mixing power.
With high-end features taken from the M32 mixer, such as MIDAS PRO preamps,
high-quality eects, P-16 monitoring on the MR18, and USB recording capability,
these consoles far outperform their size.
Mixing live shows can now be done from anywhere in the venue thanks to the
wireless control options that allow all software functions to be controlled from
an iPad*, Android* tablet or PC. While a dedicated external router can be used,
it is not necessary thanks to the integrated Wi module. This allows monitors
to be adjusted while standing on stage, and the main mix to be perfected from
anywhere in the crowd.
In addition to dedicated aux buses for monitoring, the M AIR has 4 studio-quality
stereo eects processors. In fact, these are the same great eects found in the
acclaimed M32 mixer, including legendary reverb, echo and chorus algorithms.
Not just a live sound tool, the MR18 features an 18x18 USB audio/MIDI interface,
and the MR12 allows 2-track stereo recording. This makes for a great mobile
recording device, home studio interface, and enables live performances to be
multitracked for later mixing.
Continue through this manual to learn all about the functionality of your mixer,
as well as the M AIR software.
