About the Midas MR18

The Midas MR18 is an 18-input digital mixer in a stage box format, designed to be controlled from a tablet or laptop. We offer Midas MR18 rental in Madrid and across Spain for engineers, bands and event organisers who need a compact mixer with 16 Midas PRO preamps, onboard effects and wireless control. It is a practical option when space for the mix position is limited or when you prefer to mix without a physical console.

What it is rented for

It suits small concerts, band performances, presentations, conferences and corporate events with several microphones. Its gain-sharing automixer, based on Dan Dugan's system, helps manage up to 16 microphones on panels or talks, and the 18 x 18 USB interface lets you record multitrack on a computer. If needed, it could be paired with microphones from our catalogue, such as the Shure SM58 or SM57: ask for a quote and availability with your dates and type of event.
