Midas 512 V2 Parametric Equaliser Module

The Midas 500 Series

Premium performance with that legendary Midas sound. Bringing industry-standard control and flexibility to the powerful 500 Series format, Midas have been able to create a diverse array of powerful modules to give you exceptional power in an adaptable design. And now with the V2 editions, you can take advantage of enhanced premium-quality performance to craft the sound you’re looking for.

High-performance equalisation

As part of Midas’ legendary 500 Series, the 512 V2 is a fully parametric four-band equaliser based on the channel strip from the revered Midas HERITAGE 3000 mixing console. With enhanced performance capabilities, this compact modular EQ can be used in conjunction with any of the Midas Legend 500 Series rackmount chassis alongside Midas’ other professional modules such as the 502 V2 Microphone Preamplifier, or 522 V2 Compressor/Limiter.

The 512 V2 enables you to adjust a wide array of parameters with exceptional accuracy, with adjustable-bandwidth bell-mode control over high and low mid frequencies, and switchable bell/shelf-mode control over the treble and bass frequencies. It allows you to cut or boost specific frequencies with surgical precision to achieve the creative or corrective effect you desire.

Each of the four band’s frequencies overlap, providing you with complete control across the entire audio frequency spectrum (20Hz to 20kHz) without any undesirable ‘holes’ in your sound. The 512 V2 is ideal for both studio and live applications, delivering legendary Midas sound quality suitable for a huge variety of applications.

Intuitive and precise controls

Providing control across four overlapping frequency bands (Bass, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid, Treble), the 512 V2 ensures exceptionally accurate parameter adjustment utilising stacked dual concentric controls. The centre-knob affects Gain, whilst the outer ring provides control over Frequency. This intuitive design provides a minimalistic and intelligent interface without sacrificing functionality.

The 512 V2 also features Bell switches for the Bass and Treble frequency bands. As well as providing you with high quality shelf-mode control over Bass and Treble, the Bell switches enable bell-mode for these bands, providing parametric operation. Lo-Mid and Hi-Mid are permanently in parametric/bell-mode, giving you access to four fully parametric frequency bands for versatile and powerful results.

Balanced input stage

The 512 V2’s input stage is the result of years of knowledge and experience, crafted using premium-grade components to ensure incredible signal integrity. Boasting ultra-low noise performance and an outstanding CMRR of -70dB at 1kHz, the 512 V2 gives you access to the highly regarded Midas sound adored by millions with nothing getting in your way.
