ZURICH, Switzerland – Swiss distributor Audiotech has installed a Midas PRO6 into the X-Tra Club in Zurich. The club, which hosts a variety of club nights and concerts, has a capacity of around 2,000.
The club's four house technicians operate the PRO6 for artists including Joss Stone, Nitzer Ebb, Doom, Method Man, De La Soul, Candy Dulfer and Jethro Tull.
Club owner Markus "Mäke" Kappeler said he was "only interested in buying a Midas, since these consoles suit every engineer's needs and puts a smile on their faces.
"A big plus of installing the PRO6 in our club was its compact size compared to the prevous desk, which has resulted in extra tickets for audiences and for corporate events," Kappeler added.
"I'm more than happy with the PRO6, and was able to learn all the important functions and configuration details to provide support for the FOH technicians after just a few conversations with Audio Tech," said Edi Mösch, chief technician at the X-Tra. "The positive feedback I get every show is stunning."
X-Tra also purchased a Klark Teknik DN9331 Rapide graphic controller to handle system EQ and to monitor EQ for smaller shows where monitors are controlled from FOH rather than the Midas XL250 on stage. This allows technicians to stand in front of the stage wedges to plot the desired EQ curve on the Rapide, which is connected via a cat5 link to the PRO6.
