Midas builds a bridge
Published: PRODUCTS
The Neutron-NB is an expansion module compatible with Midas’ Neutron audio system engine available for the Pro X digital console that serves as a network bridge. It provides a multi-channel interface between a pair of digital audio networks from third parties.
When added to the Pro X with a Neutron engine, the network bridge offers up to 64 extra bidirectional channels between two independently clocked domains, operating at differing sample rates. It also features a 10-port AES50 interface that can be routed for additional network expansion and facilitate 240 bidirectional channels at a 96kHz sample rate.
Midas has also drawn upon the digital audio networking technology of Klark Teknik. The Neutron-NB includes two expansion slots that have the ability to add network modules from the Music-Group sister brand, including the KT-AES50, KT-DANTE64, KT-MADI and KT-USB.
Meanwhile, a firmware update has been released for the M Series digital mixers, with V 3.0 delivering added networked system control for users of the M32, M32R and M32C. Included in the update are new versions of the M32-Edit (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and RPi2) and M32-Mix (iPad) remote control apps, which now incorporate touch-optimised and scalable UI, keyboard shortcuts and workflow customisation.
The update also features the new Automixing functionality that facilitates phase inversion for local, aux and Ultranet outputs, X-Over filter options and remote control capabilities over Ethernet or Midi from compatible consoles.
