audio excellence midas legend 3000 Aptly named, the Legend 3000 represents the first of a new generation of semi-modular multi-application live production mixing consoles which combine all the hallmarks of traditional Midas sound quality with some truly unique features at unprecedented affordability. It is designed for the tour operator, hire company or installer who cannot justify the cost of a Midas Heritage yet who are reluctant to buy a 'second division' console. Legend includes the XL4's high performance preamps plus the XL3 EQ to deliver the trademark Midas sound, and it uses the same snapshot automation system as its larger cousins, but there are also some innovative new features that make the console particularly attractive. Firstly, a significant cost saving has been achieved by designing the Legend around blocks of eight channels, yet the clever design means that servicing is still very straightforward. Furthermore, acknowledging that many of the Legend's potential customers need on occasions to provide a monitor mix from the FOH position, Legend delivers a truly unique solution. Each input channel provides independent FOH and Monitor controls with dedicated EQ and faders. There are 12 highly flexible mix sends, which may be used individually as foldback or FOH effects sends, and the user has complete freedom in how these are assigned. In the Legend, we can truly say that the only material compromise is on price.
