Hi Kevan Back when Behringer bought Midas or when in to partnership with Midas water, a lot of people thought it’s the start of big things. When the x32 mixer was released and there was talk of Midas tech used in the pre amps things sounded even better but soon most realised after all the x32

Actually, that company has had a giant shake up in the past three years. For the longest time, I believe the exact same thing you did. They have since bought Midus TC helicon, and other big companies. When they released their x32 line of live/studio mixers, it took the pro audio world by
