MIDAS XL4-48 WITH 8 STEREO MODULES. ANY STEREO MODULE CAN BE USED AS A MONO IF ITS IN A STEREO SLOT, WHICH ARE THE LAST 8 SLOTS ON EACH SIDE OF THE MASTER SECTION.

YEAR 2001 - SERIAL #XL464 / 4197

THE MIDAS FLAGSHIP CONSOLE. SUPERB CONDITION. NO BENT OR BROKEN
SHAFTS, NO DINGS, DENTS OR GOUGES, 100% WORKING PERFECT. THIS IS THE NEWER ARCHITECTURE WITH THE DUAL "CRASHPROOF" COMPUTER AND MOTORIZED VCA FADERS. IT IS IN THE ORIGINAL CASE, WHICH IS IN GOOD CONDITION. WE ALSO HAVE ORIGINAL MIDAS CLOTH CONSOLE COVER.

THIS CONSOLE HAS SELDOM BEEN ON TOUR AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

2 NEWER STYLE PSUS - SERIAL NUMBERS 059900022 & 010000052. THESE ARE THE NEWER "POST 2000' POWER SUPPLIES THAT HAVE SINGLE LARGE + AND - 18V RAIL MODULES. THE OLDER ONES HAD TWO SMALLER ONES IN PARALLEL WHICH WAS NOT AS RELIABLE. THEY BOTH HAD TO BE TWEAKED WITHIN MILLIVOLTS AND RE-CALIBRATED OFTEN OR ONE WOULD GET SUBSTANTIALLY MORE OF THE LOAD AND FAIL, THIS ALSO MADE LINKING THEM VERY PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THEN YOU WERE GOING FOR FOUR IN PARALLEL, WHICH IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET PERFECT. THESE PSUS LINK WELL AND RUN COOL.


PURCHASED IN MARCH 2001. 2ND GENERATION COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH IS VERY TROUBLE-FREE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT HAS THE FLYING FADERS ON THE VCA SECTION.

THIS IS THE BEST SOUNDING ANALOG DESK EVER BUILT. THE EQ IS PHENOMENAL, THE MIC PREAMPS ARE AS GOOD AS ANY GRACE, PRESONUS OR EVEN FOCUSRITE AND IT HAS HEADROOM FOR DAYS IN EVERY SECTION.
