 A little bit about...Midas PRO2 series
The Midas PRO2 and PRO2C may be the smallest and least expensive Midas digital consoles so far; however, they represent a quantum leap forward in both technology and in concept for the art of audio mixing.
PRO2 is an audio mixing system which offers unprecedented levels of control integration in terms of speed and ease of workflow and the most intuitive, operator-driven user-interface yet imagined, yet costs no more than an ordinary console.

 A little bit about...Soundcraft Si Series Consoles
One of the most unique and compelling features of the Si series is that every input and output has its own dedicated input (output) socket on the back of the console. The four 64x64 channel expander slots allow the installation of further I/O bringing the available inputs to mix up to 80.
Such is the power and topology of the Si Series that the separate DSP and control engines allow you to make any system or function changes live with no interruption in the audio.

 A little bit about...Soundcraft Si Compact Consoles
Drawing on the heritage of Soundcraft's Si Series digital live sound mixers, the Si Compact packs powerful digital mixing facilities along with Lexicon® effects into a small footprint console. All this and more without compromising a powerful feature set.
All Si Compact consoles have buses and output processing to match the versatility of the inputs, all mix and matrix buses feature a compressor and parametric EQ and graphic EQ always available on every one of the 25 mix buses.
To complement the channel processing Si Compact offer four Stereo Lexicon FX processors providing a wealth of sounds and user adjustable parameters.
The digital mixer the facilities of the desk are extensive but what really sets Si Compact apart from all others is the simplicity of operation:
- TOTEM: The One Touch Easy Mix; press a single key to mix to an AUX, FX or Matrix bus, the surface and monitoring instantly reconfigure to allow instant mixing to your chosen bus on the faders.
- BSS GEQ: With a BSS GEQ on every bus there is never any need to assign from a pool of resources and you will never 'run out' of processing.
- 1 Control = 1 Function: With each control dedicated to a given function there is never any 'layering' of controls or navigating through screens; this allows the Si Compact controls to be labeled on the surface just as they would have been on an analogue mixer.
- Global Mode Controls: A row of rotary controls above each fader assignable at the touch of a button to be GAIN, PAN or HPF for all of the inputs allowing instant access to the core functions.
- Soundcraft FaderGlow®: Illuminates the fader slots according to function with clearly defined colours for FX, Stereo, Linked Mono, GEQ, POST Fade Aux, PRE Fade Aux; you'll never be lost again!
- Instant Access Keys: Dedicated keys on the front panel for STORE, RECALL, NEXT, MUTE 1-4, TAP TEMPO and more negate the need to dive into screen & context menus.
- Function Focus: Whenever a control is moved or SELect key pressed the screen displays information about the channel identifying the absolute value of the controls and the channel name, number etc...

 Know your Mini-YGDAI cards.While the Yamaha Mini-YGDAI card offers a huge range of expansion for your digital consoles, there is also a limit to which you can use, which you can't and in some cases which cards you can use with other cards.
In some cases, the configurations might seem a little confusing, with no real guide to show off which cards go with which consoles, or which cards might conflic with each other. Luckily, Yamaha have produced a mini-website dedicated to inform you about your choices.
Take a look over at the Yamaha I/O Card Matching website to find out exactly what you can do with your digital mixing console. |
