Versatile, compact digital mixing console
The Midas M32R Live is a compact high-end digital mixing console that features a high-contrast 5" TFT colour display, 17 high-quality Midas PRO motorised faders, and 40 DSP input channels. Its rear panel is packed with no less than 16 XLR and six TRS AUX inputs alongside eight XLR, six TRS AUX, and dedicated TRS monitoring outputs. The M32R Live digital mixer also provides two AES50 ports, an ULTRANET P-16 connection for headphone distribution systems, and an expansion card slot with an integrated 32 x 32 channel USB 2.0 audio interface. The compact Midas M32R Live makes a convincing case thanks to its internal 40-bit floating point signal processing technology and 8 true stereo effects engines that allow high-quality DSP emulations to be used. This is perfectly complemented by eight DCA and six mute groups, 25 time-aligned, phase-coherent mix buses, and wireless remote control via the M32 MIX iPad app.

32-channel recording and playback
The versatile Midas M32R Live is eminently suited to both live performances and studio recordings, and can even be used as a remote DAW controller. This professional digital mixer is equipped with 16 premium-grade Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers that will meet the highest demands and a Klark Teknik DN32-LIVE expansion module that provides 32 inputs and outputs via USB 2.0 for recordings and playback. The M32R Live is also sure to win over users thanks to its integrated dual card slots that allow the independent recording and playback of up to 32 channels using SD and SDHC cards, which means that users can capture sessions, perform virtual sound checks, and add backing tracks without a computer.

Intuitive workflow ensured
Its 40 DSP input channels and flexible connectivity options via AES50, ULTRANET, and optional expansion cards make the Midas M32R Live digital mixer an excellent compact solution for ambitious bands and live technicians. The M32R Live console's user interface features a highly efficient, intuitive layout that provides quick and easy access to all important parameters and functions for an optimised workflow. For example, the fader layer and "Assign" sections are located directly above the fader bank on the right hand side, while the convenient "View" buttons give users immediate access to all essential parameters of the active function on the main screen.

About Midas
Founded in London in 1970, the company initially produced guitar amplifiers and speaker cabinets, but then specialised in the development and manufacture of audio mixing consoles and is now one of the leading suppliers in this field. In the late 1970s, Midas made giant custom consoles for Pink Floyd's tours, and Frank Zappa also used a custom-made Midas recording console for his 1980 world tour. Legendary product series such as PRO40, XL, and HERITAGE have become the industry standard. The Midas flagship XL4 toured the globe with legends such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Metallica, and the Rolling Stones and is still considered to this day to be the ultimate analogue live mixer. In 2009, Midas was acquired by Music Tribe. The development team, now based in Manchester, remained in place, while production was moved to the Music Tribe plant in Zhongshan, China.
Seamless integration into various systems
Thanks to its additional expansion slot, the Midas M32R Live mixing console opens up virtually unlimited connection possibilities. In addition to the built-in DN32-LIVE audio interface, Klark Teknik offers a wide range of separately available expansion cards (MADI, Dante, and ADAT) that allow the M32R Live to be seamlessly integrated into various digital live sound, recording, and broadcast systems. The DN32-Dante card enables connectivity with Dante networks for up to 32 channels of networked audio at 24 bits, and provides a secondary port that can serve as a redundant network connection. The DN32-MADI card allows the M32R Live to be integrated into MADI installations by enabling the transmission of up to 32 channels via multi-mode fibre-optic cables (maximum length 500m) and standard 75-Ohm coaxial cables (maximum length 100m). The DN32-ADAT card is capable of providing 32 channels at a maximum sample rate of 48kHz via eight Toslink connections.

In the spotlight: AES50 (SuperMac)
The AES50, also known as "SuperMac" among sound engineers, is an open-source, royalty-free Audio over Ethernet protocol that allows 48 bi-directional channels to be transmitted at a sample rate of 48kHz and with low latency via a CAT5 cable over a distance of up to 100m. The AES50 ports on the M32R Live can be used with the Midas DL16 digital stagebox, for example, to accommodate 16 remote-controllable, high-quality Midas preamps and eight analogue XLR returns directly on stage. Using a single AES50 port, it is possible to daisy-chain up to three DL16 units for a total of 48 input channels and 24 return paths without an additional router.
