Midas’ HD96-AIR takes the next leap in digital console evolution — fusing the iconic sound of the H3K and engineering precision of the Heritage D Series with breakthrough portability. Finally, a Midas you can take anywhere. Designed for engineers who demand power without compromise, HD96-AIR features a stunning 21” high-brightness touchscreen with multi-gesture control, unlocking an ultra-intuitive workflow in a hyper-lightweight form factor. All the speed. All the detail. Now within arm’s reach.

Lightweight and Built to Perform

The HD96 platform was built with the future in mind — and HD96-AIR is just the beginning of that vision in action. Engineered for total control and maximum portability, it features a fully adjustable 21” full HD multi-touchscreen that puts every parameter — from faders to control groups to individual channels — right at your fingertips. The layout places user-assignable buttons exactly where you need them, enhancing speed and precision on the fly. And thanks to a smart, space-conscious design, HD96-AIR delivers all the power of the Heritage D Series in an ultra-lightweight chassis. Even with the flight case (sold separately), the full package weighs in at under 30 KG — ready for anywhere the show takes you.

The Graviton Mk 2 Processing Engine

At the heart of every Midas console is what matters most — sound. While others compromise, we’ve never wavered in our commitment to audio excellence. With the Heritage D series, we’ve taken the legendary Midas sound even further, with a next-generation 64-bit summing engine that delivers greater dynamic range, depth, and clarity than ever before. 

The key to the Midas sound is in giving ultimate flexibility while still being delay compensated. Delivering a mix that breathes with natural warmth and stunning precision. No comb filtering. No inconsistencies. Just pristine audio, everywhere, all the time — whether you're pushing the mix to its limits or riding the smallest detail. Driving a Midas has never been easier.

Flexi-Aux

The Flexi-Aux system opens up powerful routing possibilities — including aux-to-aux sends for advanced group and stem-style mixing. Need to smash a drum kit with parallel compression and feed that exact sound to an artist’s in-ears? Now you can. Flexi-Aux gives you the tools to mix the way you hear it — fast, flexible, and fully under your control.

Variable Channel Phase

The new intuitive, easy to use Variable Phase per channel is a powerful tool that allows sound sources to be blended seamlessly with high or low phase changes to mix signals together in ways never achievable before. From subtle alignment tweaks to bold creative shifts, you can now seamlessly blend sound sources with precision, clarity, and control.

Tap Off Points

New tap off points on channels have been introduced – giving you the freedom to route audio from any stage in the signal chain. Perfect for sending raw signals to stage without affecting your main mix. It's all about precision control without compromise. 

As per the HD96-24, AIR features post-insert fader tap points alongside fully customisable processing chains. Just drag, drop, and reorder your signal flow exactly how you want it. It's all about precision control without compromise.

Shout Mixer

The Shout Mixer allows complex communication groups to be effortlessly created and stored. With 16 independent shout inputs and 12 dedicated outputs, you can build flexible, powerful talkback systems that operate entirely outside your main I/O count. 

Whether you’re in soundcheck or mid-show, instant recall lets you switch between shout configurations in a heartbeat — so your comms are always as sharp as your mix.
