Verona - A Step Above The Ordinary
Verona is, quite simply, the desk the industry has been asking Midas for. It takes the concept of the ultra-compact Venice, Midas’ best selling console of all time, and elevates it to the next level. Verona delivers more inputs, more features, along with legendary Midas quality in a package that revolutionises the 8 buss market. Visually, the console looks stunning; despite it’s physically modest proportions, it feels like a full-sized Midas to work on; and of course, most importantly of all, it sounds as good as it looks.
So what exactly is Verona?
Firstly, it’s a truly professional desk aimed squarely at the professional market. Mechanically and electronically Verona is much more than just another 8-bus console. If you are primarily motivated by audio quality, rigid mechanical construction, longterm reliability and high residual values, then it is THE 8-buss console.
The Verona series consists of 6 models ranging from 24 up to a massive 64 inputs, and incorporates all the features and components that make it look, sound and feel like a true Midas. It has been designed from the ground up by the same team responsible for the XL4 and the Heritage Series consoles, including the industry-standard Heritage 3000.
Anyone who has ever bought a Venice and loved it is going to be captivated by the Verona – you get more inputs, more features and that all-important Midas quality. Available as an install or touring package the Verona will handle anything from houses of worship to broadcast / recording, theatre to corporate applications, and of course concert sound.

Features

• Superior Midas Sound
  As with all our consoles we are continually striving to improve our sonic circuits. Verona uses a brand new premium performance mic amp design, with very high CMR performance providing simple, noise free interconnections. High performance audio summing busses are used throughout and all main outputs are fully balanced with high current capability for noise free interconnections.

• Simple, Intuitive, Effective
  Standing-up or sitting down? Either way – relax! Your driving a MIDAS, the controls feel right and it’s an absolute pleasure. Whether it’s the highly accurate 4-band EQ, the superb 100mm monorail faders or the simple layout, Verona is designed to make the live sound engineer feel at home. Mix the show of your life with confidence!

• Six Models - Verona 240 to Verona 640
  Verona frames range from 24 inputs, and increment in blocks, of 8 up to a maximum of 64!

• Two Functions, One Desk
  Easy set-up for FOH or monitors: the Group/Aux changeover switch, allow the choice of any combination of the aux outputs to be controlled via a 100mm fader including insert point. This flexibility is supported by the front panel Aux EQ defeat switch - when pressed any auxes assigned pre fader will be sent pre EQ.

• EQ
  Highly accurate and musical swept 4-band EQ on every mono channel. The stereo channel is the same variety with swept mids. There is a switched high pass filter on every channel plus swept frequency on mono inputs.

• Channel Inserts
  Front panel switchable insert points on each mic input.

• 8 Audio Sub Groups
  Assigned from individual routing buttons (pre/post pan) from the input channel.

• 8 Aux Outputs
  2 Aux busses with individual Pre/Post Fader switches and 6 Aux busses with global master Pre/Post fader assign.

• Spatial Image System (S.I.S.)

• Spatial Image System utilises a central cluster with a left-right system to form three discrete channels. Available from channels and groups.

• 12 x 4 Matrix
  Fed from the Groups (or Auxes dependant on c/o switch), LR & C and external input on rotary controls. The external input can be individually routed directly to LR & C if required.

• 4 Mute Groups
  Easy to programme, easy to re-call mutes created from inputs. The soft mute circuit has silent operation and LED indication.

• Multi Function Modules
  Verona includes 8 multi function inputs as standard. These inputs can be mono mic, stereo line or both. The stereo line jacks are for use with either balanced or unbalanced line level signals and are protected from 48V phantom. The mono mic amp input incorporates a phase switch and a front panel switched insert.

• PSU’s
  The current sharing, voltage sensing, auto-switching PSU’s are internally mounted. The “no hum” design saves the need for external racking and cabling. Verona 240 and 320 come with one internal PSU whilst Verona 400, 480, 560 and 640 come with two internal PSU’s. Each frame includes an external connection port for an optional external PSU.
