Direct Outputs.

Every input module is fitted with a direct output as standard with its own level control and front panel

switch which selects the source from pre fader or pre insert and equaliser. This provides a valuable output

feed to effects, broadcast or recording.

Input Metering.

The peak reading input meters monitor pre fader signals and cover a 40dB range from +15dBu downwards

in ten 3dB steps with a signal present indicator at -25dBu.

The Inserts.

Each channel has a half normalised fully balanced insert send and return point which can be switched in or

out and set as either pre or post equaliser from the front panel.

The Inputs.

The XL250 features a new mic amplifier which improves on the XL3 design giving better CMR, noise and

distortion performance whilst retaining the XL3's constant HF bandwidth topology which assures excellent

amplifier stability and RF rejection at all gains. All inputs, mic, line, insert etc. are fully balanced and are

both differential and common mode impedance matched.

Compact and Ergonomic.

Great care has been taken to get the ìfeelî of the console correct. The result is a simple, fast and responsive

control surface which is compact and yet gives effortless control over the 48 inputs and 20 outputs.

The Sound.

The XL250 has the ìMidas Soundî. Transparent, open and dynamic. Switch changes are silent, the noise

floor is way down and the headroom is high due to the consistent internal gain structure.

Multi Functional Application.

The XL250 is an extremely flexible and truly ìmulti-functionalî console. It can be re-configured in seconds

for applications such as in ear monitoring, wedge monitoring, combinations of both, front of house use and

many more. All this is achieved with no compromise to the control functions or layout through use of

Midas XL250 Features.

configurable busses and the controls that feed them. If you need a stereo buss, switch the stereo button

between two groups and they are now working in stereo with all inputs routed via level and pan controls.

If you want mono busses switch the stereo button off and the two groups are independent and fed from

separate level controls on the input channels.

The Equaliser.

The responsive control, character and sonic performance of the legendary XL3 equaliser are maintained in

full including parametric mid's and traditional Midas swept shelving treble and bass.
