General
The Midas Venice F-24 is an analogue 24-channel live mixer. With its 24 in and 24 out Firewire audio interface, it feels equally at home in the studio. As such, it gives you the best of both worlds: an analogue mixer with an analogue sound and feel, that still allows you to record multiple tracks on your computer. You can even use your computer's effects plugins. Furthermore, the Venice F-24 features 16 mono inputs and 4 stereo inputs, and puts 6 aux buses, 4 subgroups and 2 stereo aux returns at your disposal.
Midas Microphone preamps
The microphone preamps inside the F-24 are of legendary Midas quality. These preamps are made up of distinct components, not chips. They are able to withstand clipping, and every preamp is equipped with its own gain regulator, polarity switch, 80 Hz high pass filter and -20dB pad. Moreover, all channels have a Firewire switch that allows you to choose between digital and analogue in or out, and whether you want it pre or post EQ. You can turn the four-band tone control for each channel on or off. Naturally, each channel features a smooth, 100mm fader that allows you to comfortably set the perfect balance.
Midas Venice F-24: versatile mixer
The Midas Venice F series stereo channels have both a stereo XLR mic input and a jack input. You can route the line input directly to the master while using the microphone input of these channels for a microphone. Change the channel to mono mode and you have eight additional microphone inputs. Use the Firewire connector to send and receive all 24 channels to make multiple track recordings on your computer with ease. With the Venice F-24, you can record the soundcheck of the band you're mixing and listen to the audio. This allows you to make a virtual soundcheck using plug-ins on your computer.
