Introduction to the XL200
Historically, Midas mixing consoles were always considered as high quality, high cost
products which most PA companies could not afford - but all aspired to. The
introduction of the XL3 console in 1993 was a milestone for Midas, as it marked the
launch of a Midas product that allowed engineers to enjoy the same high sound and
build quality, but at a fraction of the cost.
With the XL4 and XL3 consoles in the Midas product range, the introduction of the
XL200 is yet another breakthrough for price versus performance. The design criteria
was to develop a mid priced mixing console, while maintaining the outstanding sound
quality and sonic performance. Frame construction techniques are a departure from
traditional Midas design, as very little wiring is present in the frame with all input and
insert connectors integral to each module. The addition of efficient, ergonomic and
tactile control features also allows us to use the most cost effective manufacturing
methods - the result is an outstanding mid priced console that brings the Midas dream
within reach. The Midas XL200.....a touch more accessible.

Midas XL200 Features
Mic Inputs.
The XL200 features a state of the art Analogue Devices™ mic amplifier which
assures low distortion and excellent amplifier stability, RF rejection and noise
performance.
Line inputs.
A separate Hi Z line input is incorporated which is ideal for playback of recorded
material.
Direct Outputs.
Every input module is fitted with a direct output as standard making multi-track
recording a simple task.
Equaliser.
The sonic performance of the legendary Midas equaliser is maintained including
parametric mid’s with sweepable frequency and switched ‘Q’. The treble and bass
sections have the traditional Midas wide frequency range shelving characteristic.
Inserts.
Each channel has a half normalised fully balanced insert send and return point which
can be switched in or out from the front panel and set as either pre or post equaliser.
Input metering.
These peak reading meters cover a 30dB range in 3dB steps and monitor pre fader
signals.
Audio busses.
Each channel can be routed to any combination of 21 audio busses comprising of 3
aux’s, 6 mono groups, 2 stereo groups 2 stereo masters and 1 mono master. All
switchable on the module front panel.
VCA and mute busses.
Each channel can be controlled by any combination of the 8 VCA master faders and
8 mute masters. Assignment of these busses is again switchable on the module front
panel. Mutes may also be controlled by the optional automation system. A safe
switch disconnects the channel from all mute groups.
Audio groups.
The main audio groups may also be assigned to any of the 8 automute groups. A safe
switch is again included for each group. The input for the groups is derived from the
10 group busses.
Master.
The master module provides the main left, right and mono console outputs. A solo to
master facility is incorporated on the left and right outputs to aid the engineer at
sound checks.
Matrix.
The 8 matrix outputs are a part of the group modules, and derive their signals from
the 6 mono audio groups, 2 stereo groups, left and right masters and mono master,
creating a 13 x 8 matrix.
Output meters.
32 peak reading led bargraph meters (each covering a 60dB range 1n 3dB steps) are
used to monitor all the group outputs i.e. 6 mono groups, 2 stereo groups, 8 matrix,
and 8 auxiliary. 3 VU meters are used for the left, right, and mono outputs. They also
automatically monitor the left, right, and mono solo functions.
The Optional Midi Automation.
The Midi automation system provides 10 mute groups, 128 snapshots of mute
settings and a solo-in-place mode which can be used alongside the conventional
PLF/AFL system.
