144 Input Channels with 96 kHz Sample Rate: Supports up to 144 simultaneous input channels at pristine 96 kHz resolution, ensuring high-definition audio for complex live productions.

123 Mix Buses with Time Alignment: Provides 123 fully time-aligned, phase-coherent mix buses. This enables highly flexible routing and flawless phase accuracy across all outputs.

21” Full-HD Multi-Gesture Touchscreen: The console features a 21″ glare-resistant TFT touchscreen with capacitive multi-touch control. It allows intuitive, hands-on navigation of mixes, effects, and signal chains.

Advanced User Interface and Workflow: Designed with a modern, gesture-based interface, HD96-AIR speeds up workflow. You can access channels, layers, and assignments instantly with smart layout and assignable controls.

Dual HyperMAC and AES50 Networking: Enables up to 480 bidirectional audio channels across dual HyperMAC and AES50 networks. Offers seamless integration with other Midas and AES50-compatible devices.

Dual Format Bridge with SRC: The console includes a built-in dual-format network bridge, allowing 128 bidirectional channels with asynchronous sample rate conversion.

Award-Winning Midas Mic Preamps: Equipped with legendary Midas preamps, the console captures warm, musical sound with ultra-low noise and wide dynamic range.

24 VCA and 24 POPulation Groups: Control complex mixes with ease using 24 VCAs and 24 user-defined POPulation groups for fast, contextual access to channels.

Assignable Controls with Color Displays: 24 user-assignable buttons and 12 HD 240×240 LCDs provide quick access and custom layouts for instant recall and control.

Flexible I/O Configuration: Features 8 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, each switchable to AES3, offering maximum flexibility for interfacing with external gear.

Powerful DSP Effects Engine: Up to 24 simultaneous multi-channel effects engines allow for rich sound shaping without sacrificing channel or bus count.

Redundant Power for Live Reliability: Dual auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supplies ensure fail-safe operation in mission-critical live scenarios.

Lightweight and Flyable Form Factor: The console weighs under 30 kg (flight case excluded), making it ideal for fly dates, festivals, and mobile production environments.
