MID-MR18
$1,299.00
The Midas MR18 is an 18‑input digital mixer for iPad/Android tablets featuring 16 MIDAS PRO preamps, an integrated Wi‑Fi module and a multi‑channel USB audio interface. Built on the same technology that powers the Midas M32, the MR18 delivers exceptional sound quality and powerful digital control in a compact rack‑mountable format.
A Mixer Whose Time Has Come
The MR18 reflects a major shift in live and studio workflows, offering musicians and engineers the flexibility of wireless control and advanced digital processing. Housed in a rugged stage‑box chassis, the MR18 is ideal for both live and studio applications thanks to its 16 award‑winning MIDAS PRO mic preamps, integrated Wi‑Fi, MIDI I/O and 18 × 18 bidirectional USB interface. Free iOS, Android and PC apps allow complete control from anywhere in the venue or tracking room, including personal monitor mixing for performers.
16 MIDAS PRO Mic Preamps
The MIDAS PRO mic preamp, originally developed for the PRO Series consoles and also found in the M32, is renowned for its warmth, depth and spatial accuracy. The MR18 includes 16 of these premium preamps, accessible via Neutrik combo connectors with locking latches, delivering the signature MIDAS sound for any application.
Built‑In Tri‑Mode Wi‑Fi Router
The MR18 includes an integrated Wi‑Fi module for direct wireless control without requiring an external router. This allows engineers to walk the venue and mix from the audience perspective, or adjust monitors directly from the stage. Performers can also control their own IEM or wedge mixes via their tablets.
- Access Point: Connect up to four devices directly for quick setup.
- Wi‑Fi Client: Join an existing wireless network for extended control.
- Wired Mode: Connect via LAN or a dedicated router for maximum stability.
Recording Simplified
The 18 × 18 USB interface provides powerful multitrack recording directly to your iPad or PC. Create zero‑latency monitoring mixes with onboard FX while sending up to 16 channels — plus MIDI — to your DAW for recording and editing.
Revolutionary Auto‑Mixing
For panel discussions, conferences or multi‑microphone setups, the MR18 features M AIR Gain Sharing technology based on the legendary Dan Dugan automix system. It automatically manages gain across up to 16 microphones, reducing feedback, noise and comb filtering while maintaining consistent system gain.
4 Onboard M32 Effects Engines
The MR18 includes the same FX engines found in the M32 console, offering four true‑stereo multi‑effects processors including delays, choruses, dynamics and premium reverbs. High‑end simulations include the Lexicon 480L, PCM70, EMT250 and Quantec QRS. All processing runs inside the low‑latency M32 engine for flawless performance.
