LANDSBERG AM LECH and HALVER, Germany – Rain Age GmbH and Go Audio Rental GmbH recently added Midas PRO6 live audio systems to their inventories, purchasing the gear through Midas' German distributor Mega Audio.
"We have been longstanding Midas fans since first using the XL200 and XL250," said Rain Age managing director Pascal John. "We still have two H3000s on our books and now we are delighted to invest in Midas digital."
Rain Age head of audio and lighting, Martin Heining, first saw a PRO6 at Midas' Kidderminster, U.K. factory in 2008. "It didn't even have a name then," he says, "but I knew it was the future."
"In our opinion," Heining continued, "the PRO6 will become a worldwide audio standard. Rain Age provides high class audio, and we wanted to be one of the first German rental companies to offer Midas digital audio."
"We believe the PRO6 will be the next ‘first choice' console, so for us it is a must have," said Go Audio Rental managing director Bernd Wittenberg. The sound, he added, "is great."
Go Audio Rental's PRO6 is out on tour with Finnish orchestral rock band Apocalyptica, which is touring the U.S. and Canada and will return to tour Europe in 2011.
"I was interested in trying out the PRO6 after a great experience with an XL8 I used for one show in Poland," said Apocalyptica's FOH engineer Michael Bauer. "The preamps, and particularly the EQs, sound good. There's no doubt that this is an excellent-sounding board."
Rain Age's PRO6 will have its first outing on leading German rock band Sportfreunde Stiller's 14-date tour which kicks off in Luxemburg in late November.
