DWTC claims first live audio system

The XL8, which has been added to DWTC's impressive rental inventory, is a live audio system that will be the first of its kind in the Middle East. It provides an all in one solution that includes a digital mixing console complete with a digital snake.

The XL8 live performance system is truly revolutionary and heralds Midas' entry into the digital mixing realm. However, this is not merely another digital mixing console. XL8 offers an incomparable design combining exemplary sound quality, flexibility and reliability with an ease and familiarity of use unrivalled by other digital control surfaces. XL8 is the first of a new generation of open-architecture, cross-platform, integrated audio control and distribution systems, which brings control of not only audio, but other aspects of a live performance to a single, intuitive control centre.

As well as offering classic Midas audio quality and superb reliability, XL8 actually improves upon the performance of the analogue consoles, which have established Midas as the number one choice of sound engineers the world over. XL8 represents a new generation of networked systems, requiring only mics, amps and speakers to provide a complete audio system.

The XL8's open architecture ensures that both third-party hardware and software, including 'plug-ins' can be easily integrated into the system. The very latest in high-speed networking technology ensures that XL8 will conform to all the classic Midas brand values of sound quality, reliability and longevity; it will not be obsolete in a few years.

"In 2006 we launched the XL8 in the Middle East here in Dubai at the PALME exhibition," commented Chicco Hiranandani, Business Development Manager with NMK.

He added, "It has been 3 years since then and the XL8 has been used in numerous shows around the world, its presence has increased into the double digits and now we have our first XL8 in the Middle East. We are really happy that DWTC have put their trust into a brand and product that exemplifies superior build quality, performance reliability and revolutionary features."
