Midas

The Midas Parametric Equalizer 512 brings the renowned sound of Midas to your 500 Series rackmount setup. This compact, 4-band fully parametric EQ is based on the channel strip from the legendary Midas Heritage 3000 mixing console, delivering clear, musical EQ adjustments for any audio application. With precise control over frequency, gain, and bandwidth, the 512 allows you to shape your sound with ease and accuracy. Designed to work seamlessly with the Midas Legend L10, L6, or other 500 Series chassis, the 512 offers a versatile and space-saving solution for users seeking high-quality, reliable EQ performance.Class-Leading EQ A parametric equalizer allows the operator to address multiple parameters with high precision when applying filters to an audio signal, i.e., a specific frequency can be cut or boosted by an exact amount across an adjustable bandwidth or "Q". Such surgical-level equalization enables fine tuning the filter to reduce the gain at frequencies that are prone to feedback, or remove undesirable tonal qualities and their overtones. Conversely, the ability to increase (boost) the gain at certain frequencies provides the ideal way to add punch to bass and kick drum signals, or to add presence to vocal or solo instrument tonalities. The Parametric Equalizer 512 utilizes 4 overlapping frequency bands to easily and expertly craft professional-grade output signals both in the studio and during live performance.Precision Dual-Concentric Controls Built from the bottom up, the 512 EQ strip operates across 4 overlapping frequency bands: Bass (20 Hz to 400 Hz); Lo Mid (100 Hz to 2 kHz); Hi Mid (400 Hz to 8 kHz); and Treble (1 kHz to 20 kHz). The Frequency and Gain (-15 to +15 dB) adjustments are provided in the form of stacked dual concentric controls, with Gain on the knob and Frequency on the outer ring. All give instant access to fully variable gain and frequency settings in their respective operating bands.At a Glance Compact 500 Series module with enhanced Midas Heritage 3000 four-band fully parametric equalizerClass-leading equalizer acclaimed for its warm and responsive character with fast easy setupPrecision dual-concentric controls give instant access to fully variable gain and frequency settingsBass and treble bands with selection switches for bell or shelving responsesFully variable bandwidth controls on all four bands in bell modeHigh-power balanced output drives long audio cables with easeHigh-performance electronically balanced input stage with high common-mode rejectionUltralow noise design using premium quality op-ampsTrue hardware bypass selection switch removes all circuitry from the signal path when equalization is not requiredPower up mute relays prevent switch on thumpsAdvanced design with low power consumption gives extended component lifePremium-quality components throughout for a crystal-clear audiophile signal path
