[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 56726, member: 126"] Re: Midas Pro 1 I see this as an inevitable evolution, just like we no longer have to set the choke to start our car, and nobody misses controls that can be managed automatically (at least they shouldn't). The piece of the puzzle that has been missing until recently is cost effective digital gain control for the analog gain stage. Now there are a couple vendors making good sound quality solutions (THAT and TI), and more will surely follow. This is still not cheap enough to be found on entry level PA heads, but premium products can support the BOM cost. With a digital data path, it is simple to embed gain or gain change information along with the signal so the receiver can know what the front end is doing. The unfortunate paradox for this evolution is that the high end product with premium price points that can support such technology will often have fairly conservative customers who are not enthusiastic about change.. "back in my day we had to .... etc... ", but it will happen despite the Luddites. Resistance is futile. JR [/QUOTE]
