MIDAS Midas HD96-AIR Control Centre (in-package). HD96-AIR takes the next leap in digital console evolution, fusing the iconic sound of the H3K and engineering precision of the Heritage D Series with breakthrough portability. Designed for engineers who demand power without compromise, HD96-AIR features a 21" high-brightness multi-touch screen with multi-gesture control in a hyper-lightweight form factor. Key features include the Flexi-Aux system (aux-to-aux sends for advanced group and stem-style mixing), Tap Off Points for routing audio from any stage in the signal chain (with post-insert fader tap points and fully customisable, drag-and-drop processing chains), the Shout Mixer (16 independent shout inputs and 12 dedicated outputs for talkback systems with instant recall), and Variable Channel Phase per channel for seamless blending of sound sources. Rear panel I/O: 8 x 3-pin XLR analogue/AES3 inputs (switchable), 8 x 3-pin XLR analogue/AES3 outputs (switchable), 4 x RJ45 AES50, 2 x BNC word clock (75 ohm), 1 x XLR balanced Talk input, 2 x HDMI monitor outputs, External Ethernet connector (RJ45 XLR), Snake 1/2 (2 x optical and 2 x copper), 8 x USB 3.0 type A (5 V, 900 mA), 2 x micro-USB service ports, 1 x top-panel USB 2.0 type A (5 V, 500 mA), 2 x expansion module slots, 2 x 5-pin MIDI DIN sockets, 4-pin lamp connector (12 VDC / 150 mA max), 2 x IEC mains sockets with power switch, and 1 x 1/4" TRS stereo headphone output on the side panel.
