The Graviton Mk 2 Processing Engine

At the heart of every Midas console is what matters most — sound. While others compromise, Midas has never wavered in its commitment to audio excellence. With the Heritage D Series, the legendary Midas sound has been taken even further, with a next-generation 64-bit summing engine that delivers greater dynamic range, depth, and clarity than ever before. The key is in giving ultimate flexibility while still being delay compensated — delivering a mix that breathes with natural warmth and stunning precision. No comb filtering. No inconsistencies. Just pristine audio, everywhere, all the time.
