Product Overview
This is the DP48 from Midas, a dual 48 channel personal monitor mixer. This mixer allows 2 performers to fully control their monitor mixes, record and playback rehearsals and performances. Due to its intuitive design, the DP48 is able to connect to any AES50-equipped device, creating a complete monitoring system perfect for use in the studio or on stage.
The DP48 gives performers complete control over their monitor mix with 12 stereo groups for quickly creating and balancing mixes. All 48 channels of the DP48 can be mixed within these 12 groups and can handle any kind of monitor set up. Vocalists, for example, can place the vocal channel in Group 1 while the drums, bass and guitar channels can be placed in Groups 2,3 and 4 respectively. Drummers who may be more particular can create more complex mixes with the DP48; separately mix their kick, snare and hi hat in Groups 1-3 with the two overhead mics panned left and right in Group 4.
