Midas XL42 duel channel microphone pre-amp and full parametric eq.I bought this fantastic pre-amp for my home studio 15 years ago, it has been used but not gigged or knocked around. In good working order, very versatile and great sound. Ideal for recording or live use. It has a couple of scuffs on the case but overall good condition. No box but will be well packaged, I have a pdf instruction manual which I will print if required. The Midas XL42 is a 1U rack mounted, dual channel creative equalizer incorporating the XL4 four-band parametric equalization with XL4 mic/line pre-amplifiers and 48V phantom supply. Each channel has input, output and pan rotary controls, 10 segment LED metering plus a switchable insert send and return point, plus DIP switches to enable auto-mute scene control from the auto-mute masters of XL consoles. The purpose of this ingenious device is threefold: firstly to improve the audio quality of an inferior console by adding Midas EQ to the selected program; secondly to create custom mixing consoles through the ability to daisy-chain multiple units. When linked together, the combined outputs will sum, producing discrete L&R channels. Finally, if a production requires, for example, 10 channels more than the input capacity of the master console, five XL42’s can be fitted in a standard rack together with any required dynamic processing, which can be inserted via the XL42’s insert points, thus creating a custom 10 into 2 mixer via the output daisy chain feature. The resulting L&R outputs may then be routed to the master console via any convenient point i.e. a pair of aux returns, group inputs, matrix inputs etc.Buyer can collect if preferred. Any questions please message. Thanks
