Midas MR12 - 12-Input Digital Mixer for iPad/Android Tablets with Wi-Fi and USB Recorder in Black Finish

The Midas MR12 is a compact yet powerful 12-input digital mixer designed for both live and studio applications. With its sleek, rack-mountable stage box design, the MR12 is perfect for musicians, sound engineers, and performers who need a portable, flexible mixing solution. It features 4 award-winning Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers, providing the same exceptional sound quality and performance found in Midas' flagship PRO Series consoles. The MR12 incorporates cutting-edge digital technology to offer superior audio clarity, warmth, and depth, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized events, recording sessions, and rehearsal spaces. The Midas preamps, renowned for their low noise and high headroom, ensure pristine audio capture and accurate spatial imaging, a hallmark of the iconic Midas sound.

One of the standout features of the MR12 is its integrated Wi-Fi module, which allows wireless control of all mixer parameters via iPad, Android tablets, and even PC/Mac/Linux devices. This eliminates the need for external routers and enables complete mobility during live performances or studio sessions. Whether you're adjusting the mix from anywhere in the venue or adjusting monitor mixes from an artist's perspective, the MR12 provides full control over the sound environment. The MR12 also supports MIDI I/O for controlling the mixer via compatible MIDI equipment, offering even more flexibility in remote operation. The included free apps for iOS, Android, and PC make it easy to manage all aspects of the mix, from levels and EQ to dynamics and effects, directly from a tablet or laptop.

The MR12 comes with 6 aux buses and the main L/R bus, each equipped with full dynamics processing, inserts, and EQ options, allowing for a highly customizable mixing experience. Whether you're dialing in the perfect monitor mix for musicians or shaping the front-of-house sound, the MR12's 6-band parametric or 31-band graphic EQ options ensure that your sound is precisely tuned. The mixer also includes a 100-band Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) for each channel and bus, providing clear, visual feedback and making it easy to identify and adjust problematic frequencies. This visual feedback helps ensure that every aspect of your mix is balanced and optimized for the best possible sound.

For recording applications, the MR12 features a USB connector for uncompressed stereo WAV recording and playback, allowing you to easily capture and store your mixes. The USB port is also used for playback, allowing you to integrate music tracks into your live performance seamlessly. The MR12's Dugan-style Auto-Mixing system automatically manages microphone gain sharing, ensuring a smooth and balanced mix, especially when dealing with multiple microphones. Whether you're hosting a live performance or recording a rehearsal, the MR12 is designed to meet the needs of both professional and semi-professional users, delivering unmatched audio quality and flexibility in a portable form.

The MR12 is powered by an auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply, making it suitable for use worldwide. The unit's compact size and lightweight construction ensure that it is easy to transport and install, and it comes with rack ears and protection bumpers for added durability and convenience. With its extensive feature set and Midas-grade performance, the MR12 is a versatile, cost-effective solution for live sound engineers, musicians, and performers who demand professional-quality sound in a compact, user-friendly package.
