Midas Consoles U16 Music Mixer User Manual


 
2 Chapter 1: Introduction
VeniceU
Operator Manual
a flexible bus structure that lets the engineer configure the console for different
applications.
The VeniceU consoles (U16 left, U24 top and U32 bottom)
All variants include four multifunction input channels for use on various sources. These
share single control knobs and have slightly different functionality as compared to the
mono channels.
The VeniceU lets the user route to any of 13 other buses — six auxiliaries (including two
monitors), four groups and three masters (stereo left and right, and mono). There are
also two matrix buses, which are a submix of the master buses, and three solo buses
(two after-fader listen (AFL) and one pre-fader listen (PFL)).
All major inputs and outputs are on balanced XLR connectors. The following table gives
a ‘quick stats’ comparison of the VeniceU consoles (where: XLRF = XLR female; XLRM =
XLR male; TRS = 1/4” TRS Jack; and RCA = phono plug).
