Re: Dead Midas Pro2c....




Hi Scott,


I just wanted to add some detail to what both Richard and Frank have already contributed. When you had the lock up of the surface there was no need to power cycle the whole console. Having to cut the power obviously resulted in audio stopping, but there is a recessed control computer (or MC (master controller) as we call it at MIDAS) reset switch on the back of the control surface which you could have used instead. This only resets the MC and not the DSP or control surface processor. It can be found just above the USB ports at the back, but you'll need a pen (or other thing object) to press it.


To use it you press and hold it down until the screen goes dark. Then release it and press and hold again until you hear a beep from inside the control surface. The control computer will then start to reboot as normal and this should not effect audio. The PRO1 also have this option.


As for the temperature question a PRO2c was recently used at about -16C at a World Cup Skiing event in Austria for one week and others have been used in Dubai (and other places around the world) at +45C. So extreme temperature shouldn't be a problem.


Hope this help,


Jason
