Midas MR12 Digital Mixer

Midas MR12 EU Digital Mixer — Pro Console DNA in a Tablet-Controlled Stage Box

The Midas MR12 EU packs the M32 mixing engine into a compact, rack-mountable 12-input stage box that engineers run from a tablet. Four Midas PRO microphone preamps and 40-bit floating-point DSP deliver the headroom that has defined Midas consoles for decades. Free apps for iOS, Android, and PC put every fader in the operator's hand from anywhere in the venue.

What Sets the MR12 EU Apart in the Compact Digital Mixer Category

Most compact digital mixers rely on generic preamp designs, but the MR12 EU ships with four Midas PRO microphone preamps — the same circuitry that powers the M32 flagship. A built-in tri-mode Wi-Fi router runs as its own access point, joins an existing LAN, or falls back to wired Ethernet. Dugan-style auto-mixing manages gain across multiple talkers.

Input Architecture — 12 Channels of Flexible Connectivity

The MR12 EU's first four channels accept balanced XLR/TRS combo jacks for microphones or line-level instruments, while channels five through twelve use 6.3 mm TRS jacks for line sources.

• Mic Inputs: 4 × Midas PRO preamps on balanced XLR/TRS combo jacks — flagship-grade headroom for vocals, drums, and acoustic instruments
• Line Inputs: 8 × 6.3 mm TRS jacks — connect keys, playback devices, and additional stage sources without adapters
• Phantom power on every mic preamp drives condenser microphones directly from the unit

Channel EQ and DSP — Surgical Tone Shaping Per Channel

Each microphone channel runs a 6-band parametric EQ with one fully parametric mid band, switchable to 31-band graphic mode for fast room tuning.

• Microphone Channel EQ: 6 bands, 1 fully parametric — surgical tone control or fast graphic-style room tuning per channel
• DSP Engine: 40-bit floating point — preserves headroom and detail at high gain settings without internal clipping
• Assigning reverbs, delays, and modulation to any channel is possible with four onboard DSP effects engines.

Outputs, Routing, and Stage-Box Form Factor

The MR12 EU routes two balanced XLR main outputs to the FOH system, two TRS aux outputs to stage monitors, and a 6.3 mm TRS headphone jack for silent cueing. Six aux buses plus the main LR give engineers enough sends for separate monitor mixes. The package includes manual, power cable, and rack kit.

• Main Outputs: 2 × balanced XLR M — feed the front-of-house system with a noise-free balanced signal
• Aux Outputs: 2 × 6.3 mm TRS AUX OUT — drive powered stage monitors from independent aux mixes
• Measuring 33.3 × 14.9 × 9.5 cm and weighing just 2.9 kg, this rack-mountable chassis includes rack ears and protection bumpers for installation.

Who Should Choose the MR12 EU

Solo performers, duos, small bands, and AV teams who need flagship-grade preamps and wireless tablet control in a single rack unit will find this model a practical fit. Houses of worship and rehearsal rooms benefit from the built-in Wi-Fi router, removing cable runs between the stage and the mix position.

Midas — Four Decades of Console Heritage

Midas began in the early 1970s building guitar amplifiers in a small garage before expanding into professional audio electronics alongside Martin Audio. After one of the founders toured with Supertramp, the brand shifted toward live mixing consoles. That DNA flows into the MR12 EU.
