DONETSK, Ukraine — Jazz-Club Service purchased the first Midas PRO6 console in the Ukraine from local distributor Cortmi Ltd. The rental company first used it for the Ukrainian tour of Russian singer Grigoriy Leps, and, more recently, a 40-date tour across the Ukraine by Russian pop singer Philipp Kirkorov. “We’ve had very positive experiences using Midas consoles and when we learned there was an affordable Midas digital console it was just a question of time before we purchased it,” said Vitaliy Siroshtan, sound engineer with Jazz-Club Service.
“It is very easy and quick to master, with engineers able to start working on it after just a couple of hours,” Siroshtan added. “The functions are simple to understand and it has a very intuitive control layout. All the engineers embraced it at their first encounter, despite previous experiences they may have had with digital consoles. But the most important thing is that the digital interface and functions haven’t affected the perfect Midas sound that we are used to, and the preamps sound absolutely fantastic.
“The PRO6 has become popular throughout our tours of the Ukrainian, with many sound engineers coming to have a closer look, so we can be sure it will start to be specified,” Siroshtan added. “We are very optimistic about the future of PRO6 in the Ukraine.”
Pavel Vorotnikov, monitor engineer for Kirkorov’s tour, is enjoying working with the PRO6.
“I was pleasantly surprised by the intuitive control interface; it’s very compact but every function and control is right at your fingertips at the time you need it,” Vorotnikov said. “Another advantage of the PRO6 is its sound, which is so ‘fat’ in the in-ear-monitors, and Philipp likes it very much. During the first concert he requested that this should now be the standard monitor sound for all his concerts. The PRO6 is a very good and convenient work horse, and the most ‘analog sounding’ digital console I’ve ever worked with.”
