This console is a 56 channel (52 Mono + 4 Stereo) analog mixing console and is THE premier analog mixing console around and is the most sought after and requested analog console in the touring market. This auction is for the console in its case, 3 power supplies in case (sorry the PSU case is not shown but is DOES come with this package and yes there are 3 power supplies, not just the two shown) and any Midas specific power supply cables. This console was purchased directly from Midas in 2004 and cost $86,500 new. It was purchased with the case and three power supplies and is referred to as the "touring package" by Midas. This console has been professionally maintained and is in VERY good condition. (Actually according to engineers in the Atlanta area, it is the nicest one in town...) There are a few minor scuffs as you can see in the pictures. The main is on the arm rest where it looks like someone put gaf tape on the arm rest and left it on the board for a while before removing it. It is purely a cosmetic mark, but for a four-year-old console in the inventory of a professional audio company, this thing is in amazing condition! Specifications from Midas: Ultimate Flexibility: The Heritage 3000 is a unique live performance mixing console that brings complete flexibility to the live console arena. At home in a theatre, an Outside Broadcast Truck, on stage or at front of house, the H3000 offers a unique, easy to use, three position switching system that changes the consoles output functions according to the application. Interchangeable Modules: The H3000 is easily serviceable due to it's fully modular design. Stereo modules can be easily swapped with mono modules in any input position within the frame. Frame Sizes: The H3000 has a variety of different frame sizes from 24 to 64 input frames. Improved XL4 Mic pre Amp: The H3000 features a new mic amplifier which further improves on the XL4 design giving a CMR improvement of +30dB whilst retaining the XL4's constant HF bandwidth topology which assures excellent amplifiers stability, RF rejection and noise performance at all gains. Equaliser: The warm, responsive and friendly four band fully parametric XL4 Equaliser design. Enough said. Direct Outputs: Every input module is fitted with a direct output as standard with its own level control and front panel switching which selects the source from pre / post equaliser. 24 Mix Sends: The 24 mix sends can be easily configured dependant on the required application. Each pair of outputs can either be 2 audio sub groups or 2 aux sends or a stereo aux send (level / pan). These settings are memorised on power down. Inserts: Each channel has a half normalised fully balanced insert send and return point which can be switched in or out from the front panel and set as either pre or post equaliser. Spacial Image System (SIS™): Each input module is fitted with the Midas Spacial Image System (SIS™) for use with Left, Centre, and Right loudspeaker systems. When SIS is active, the unique image control rotary fader modifies the action of the pan control allowing the input to be fed into all 3 outputs. This can be particularly useful for distributing the load of high energy, centre panned sounds across all FOH loud speaker arrays. VCA Groups and Mute Groups: Each channel can be controlled by any combination of the 10 VCA master faders and 10 mute masters. Assignment of these busses can be under automation control. A safe switches can disconnect the channel from all mute groups and / or VCA control. Link capability: Direct inputs on all outputs allow the possibility to link consoles together or to a sidecar / extender. Matrix: As standard the 8 matrix outputs derive their signals from the 24 mix sends, left, right and mono masters creating a 27 X 8 matrix. Automation: The automation system can store and recall up to 500 scenes. VCA sub group routing is automated as well as all input and major output mutes. Input channels and VCA sub group levels can be also controlled via the automation system. Mechanical and Electronic Design Modules: All modules are extruded to provide exceptional modular strength. PCB Material: Military specification PCB material (FR4). Frame: Zinc plated steel chassis in 3 box sections to provide exceptional strength. The audio is separated from digital automation control by the steel chassis along the length of the console. Any interconnections between the two are filtered on both ends of the cable to ensure audio purity. Faders: P&G faders used throughout. Amp Design: Low noise summing amplifiers. Buss design: Hum / noise cancelling busses. Potentiometers: High cost, hermetically sealed Alps potentiometers used throughout. Components: Tight tolerance resistors and capacitors used throughout. Stable circuitry design that banishes oscillation. Warranty: Midas has confidence in their products resulting in an industry beating 3-year warranty.
