Tired of lugging heavy analog consoles and racks of outboard gear to every gig? The Midas MR12 12-channel digital mixer delivers the pristine sound quality of Midas’s flagship M32 console in a streamlined, rack-friendly package that fits anywhere your music takes you.
Professional Sound That Punches Above Its Weight
At the heart of the MR12 are four genuine Midas Pro microphone preamps – the same legendary circuits found in consoles used by Metallica, Bon Jovi, and Paul McCartney. Customers consistently report the MR12 sounds noticeably warmer and clearer than competing mixers, with one engineer noting it outperformed both his Yamaha 01V and Behringer XR12. These aren’t generic preamps with a Midas badge – they’re the real deal, delivering transparent gain with exceptional common-mode rejection and ultra-low harmonic distortion that makes vocals sit perfectly in the mix and instruments shine with natural clarity.
Mix From Anywhere in the Venue
The MR12’s integrated tri-mode Wi-Fi router frees you from the console. Walk the room during soundcheck, adjust monitor mixes from the stage, or perfect your FOH sound from the sweet spot in the crowd – all from your iPad, Android tablet, or laptop. The wireless freedom means no more guessing what the audience hears or asking someone to “turn up the vocals.” Multiple users praised landing gigs immediately after their first show with the MR12, with audiences complimenting the improved sound quality.
Studio-Grade Effects Built Right In
Four true-stereo DSP effects processors borrowed directly from the M32 give you legendary reverbs, delays, and modulation effects without adding a single piece of outboard gear. The MR12’s 40-bit floating-point processing maintains 112dB of dynamic range, ensuring your effects sound natural and professional. Every channel gets full dynamics processing, parametric EQ, and gates – everything you need for a polished, radio-ready mix.
Intelligent Auto-Mixing for Complex Setups
Panel discussions and multi-presenter events become effortless with Dugan-style auto-mixing technology. The MR12 automatically manages gain levels across multiple microphones, dramatically reducing feedback, phase issues, and background noise without the pumping artifacts of traditional gates. Corporate AV users particularly appreciate how this feature handles unpredictable speaking patterns while maintaining consistent system gain.
Record Your Performances
The built-in USB stereo recorder captures your mix directly to a USB thumb drive in uncompressed WAV format – no computer required. Perfect for rehearsal recordings, live albums, or simply documenting your shows. The MR12 also functions as a 12-channel USB audio interface for multitrack recording to your DAW.
Designed for the Road
The rugged 1U rackmount chassis slides easily into any standard rack case, and at just a fraction of the weight of comparable analog mixers, it won’t break your back during load-in. Genuine Neutrik connectors with locking latches ensure cables stay secure during transport and performance. Engineers report the MR12 handles the rigors of weekly gigs without a hitch.
Who It’s Perfect For
Small to medium bands who need professional sound in a portable package, houses of worship transitioning from analog to digital, corporate AV technicians running presentation systems, singer-songwriters with backing tracks, podcasters wanting studio-quality recordings, and anyone who values the legendary Midas sound without the flagship price tag.
