More Midas XL-8 News

The MIDAS XL8 was unveiled today at the Frankfurt Music Messe trade show in Germany. This is not a new mixing console; it is a new mixing system.  There are many elements to this, of which the control surface is but one. The XL8 live performance system consists of a control surface and a number of 19” rack modules, inter-connected by a networked data system.  The network carries both proprietary control data and open architecture AES50 digital audio, and uses readily available standard CAT5, CAT6 and fiber-optic cabling and connectors.

Here are a few tidbits:
 

The XL8’s total DSP processing power is 48 GigaFlops (Gflop)
 That is 48,000 billion mathematical calculations per second
 We believe this is the most powerful audio processor in the world 
There are EIGHTEEN other high performance control processors in the XL8
 More than 200 Mbytes of software has been written for the XL8
 
 
The XL8 is the worlds’ most powerful and flexible audio processing system. It is a complete solution for any audio mixing and signal distribution application in a live sound environment.
 
The first XL8 in the US is scheduled to be installed right here in Greensboro, NC at Westover Church in their new sanctuary in the next couple of months.
