Midas XL8 Sale Accompanies First Benelux KT DN9696 Order
Midas Consoles Benelux has sold the fourth Midas XL8 Live Performance System into the region, together with its first Klark Teknik DN9696 hard disk recorder for the live market. Both went to Dutch rental company Triple Showtechniek, based in Purmerend near Amsterdam.
The day after Triple Showtechniek received the XL8 it was deployed on its first gig for Dutch band the Three J’s, with FOH engineer with Marc Pardon at the helm.
“We are responsible for some of the major Dutch artists like the Three J’s, Jan Smit and Nick and Simon, says Triple Showtechniek owner Rene Tielen. “These artists are highly critical of their own performance and expect the highest levels from us, so that's why we only invest in industry leaders like Midas.”
Adds chief technical officer Marco Hovius, “I am responsible for these shows running smoothly and the Midas XL8 sounds the best by far; it is the easiest digital console to work on and is so reliable that to purchase one became a no brainer.”
After the show, Pardon commented: “As a trusted FOH engineer for these artists I do not want to jeopardise my reputation, so the choice of console was critical. I'd tested the XL8 and boy does the desk sound great! It works like an analogue Midas and coupled with the Klark Teknik DN9696 hard disk recorder, with virtual sound check, it takes the package to an unprecedented level.”
