MAIDAS Venice U-16

Hybrid Mixing Desk with 8x8 USB Interface

8 mono-, 4 Stereo-Line-inputs 8 input / 8 output USB , 6 auxes , 4 audio subgrounds : USB

At first glance, VeniceU looks like a straightforward, easy-to-use analogue audio console. However,

VeniceU continues MIDAS’ engineering concept of a hybrid mixer offering a fusion of both analogue and digital technology. 

The “Digi-log” VeniceU is much more than a great-sounding, easy-to-use audio console.

The VeniceU offers wider accessibility to MIDAS Digi-log technology than ever before, representing an integrated audio mixing, recording and processing package.

The VeniceU’s buss structure is identical to the larger VeniceF - six aux sends, four groups, stereo masters, discrete mono buss and a 7 x 2 matrix.

All buss outputs feature XLR connectors and insert capability.

All six aux sends are switchable pre or post fade, and the two aux busses designated as monitor (fold back) sends are also switchable pre/post EQ on an individual channel basis.
