[QUOTE="Thomas Dameron, post: 64266, member: 1098"] Re: Midas Pro 1 Jason, A couple thoughts, AES has word clock info included with the data so definitely no WC needed. Plus if a snake oil word clock makes a Yamaha sound better it might make a Midas sound worse, right? JK. But seriously, not needed. While the Pro1 only has enough AES ins for one console, I think it would be workable to give those to the headliner and let everyone else get the same AD-DA flop that they had to deal with the day before and the next day. When I was your SE last month the headliner didn't even ask, the 2nd band asked if I had AES in, "no, sorry", "meh, ok", so I don't think it's a deal breaker. Alternately, if you want to be really crazy your PLMs are kind of like an LM44 with an amp stuck on the back. You could leave your spare PLM out at FOH and basically just use it as an AES to Dante converter, giving you 4 more AES (EDIT: 2 AES in per PLM) channels. FWIW, you could do that with your system now. Midas says the inputs are mic/line. I don't know if they're relay switched between the two, but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do some bench testing of that on your demo to make sure it'll be happy taking in analog drive lines. Other than that it seems like a good idea. Seems like a better idea if you're able to get a Pro2 with a stagebox down the road, so the Midas' can go out as a pair and do a digital split on one day and go out as two systems the next. thomas d.
