UK audio hire company SSE Hire has upgraded its entire hire stock of Midas mixing systems to the Pro X with Neutron System Engine.
Three Pro9 consoles and a Pro6 have been fitted with the Midas Pro X upgrade package, which allows users to upgrade existing Pro3/6/9 consoles to the Pro X specification. The upgrade kit comprises the Neutron System Engine with four of Midas’ latest DSPs, while the console surface receives new fascia panels, internal cabling, clips, and the illuminated Pro X logo.
‘Our Midas consoles are extremely popular – they’re rarely in the warehouse,’ says Operations Manager, Stefan Phillips. ‘For us, this was an easy decision. We’ve basically got four brand new desks with the latest technology and software at a fraction of the cost of a complete new system. This also enables us to support any Pro X consoles we sell, making us a great outlet for Midas purchases.
‘We like to supply engineers with the very latest spec in terms of console technology,’ he adds. ‘The Pro X has double the input channel count of the old Pro 9 and with the new Neutron Engine, the desk is a very capable tool for all eventualities. Having four of these consoles means that as a group we can supply from our own stock without the need to sub hire.’
