Welcome
Thank You for using a Midas Siena mixing console. The Siena has been developed to meet the needs of even the most
demanding live sound applications. The console delivers both the quality of build and superior audio performance that you
would expect from a Midas. All backed up, of course, by the standard Midas Three Year Warranty.
The Siena is an all purpose Monitor or Monitor/Front of House (FOH) hybrid console that is quickly and easily configurable.
Available in 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 input channel frame sizes, each mono input channel offers microphone and line inputs
with four band swept equaliser, direct output and insert send/return. In addition to a master stereo bus, each channel may
be assigned onto the console's 16 mix sends, configurable for mono or stereo operation, and featuring independent
pre/post switching, level/level or level/pan control.
The 16 mix bus outputs provide the flexibility to generate mono floor monitor or stereo wireless in-ear monitor feeds, with
each bus featuring dedicated metering, an insert point and fader level control. In addition, any mix bus from 9 to 16 may be
routed and panned onto the stereo master providing sub mixing capabilities for FOH applications.
A comprehensive solo system and five auto mute groups further enhance the Siena's feature set for dealing with the most
demanding of applications.
Please take the time to complete and return the registration card and, to obtain the best results, please read this operator's
manual.
Finally,
Enjoy your new Midas Siena Console!
