Dear All,
I'd like to take this time to help answer some of most frequently asked questions regarding the all-new MIDAS M32 console.
MIDAS PRO Series Preamps and Output AudioThe MIDAS M32 utilizes the award-winning MIDAS PRO microphone preamplifiers- the very same ones found in the industry-standard PRO2/3/6/9 consoles. The output DA and audio section is equally identical to the high-quality PRO Series providing an unprecedented audio quality.
MIDAS PRO Motorized FadersEvery MIDAS M32 comes equipped with MIDAS PRO Series faders, which are rated for 1 Million life cycles – three times more than other leading consoles.
Built for TomorrowThe M32 is a console built for today and tomorrow. As it currently stands, the supported sample rates of the M32 are 48kHz and 44.1kHz. However, its future-proof capable open-architecture design allows for later 96K implementation.
Because it's 48kHz- you have 96 network-able channels (48 channels per AES50 port), allowing multiple (up to six) DL16 Digital Snakes to be routable across the network.
Since the announcement of the M32 last month, we have been overwhelmed with great questions, and overall user excitement. Among those questions are the differences and similarities between the M32 and the X32. Really, it's the similarities that help these desks compliment each other so well- after all, the X32 was designed in part by MIDAS and has become the world's best-selling digital console selling over 100,000 units.
MIDAS M32 employs:- Genuine MIDAS PRO preamps
- MIDAS PRO output DA Conversion and audio section
- 1,000,000 life cycle MIDAS PRO Series faders
- Innovative design, in collaboration with Rajesh Kutty, high-profile industrial designer for high-performance cars
- Cutting edge materials such as carbon fiber arm rest and light-weight aluminum reinforced sub-frame

Be sure to check out the M32 Web Brochure:http://www.midasconsoles.com/m32_brochure/FLASH/index.htmlThe M32 will be on display at the Prolight + Sound trade fair on March 12-15 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Lastly, we anticipate the M32 will start shipping world-wide Q2/Q3.
