Midas

Midas is a live mixing-console brand founded in London in 1970 by Jeff Byers and Charles Brooke as Midas Amplification. Mixing consoles followed in the early 1970s. Klark Teknik acquired Midas in 1987. The brand later passed through Telex and Bosch Communications Systems. In December 2009 Music Group (now Music Tribe), chaired by Uli Behringer, bought Midas and Klark Teknik from Bosch. Wikipedia lists headquarters in Manchester, England. A design team remains in the UK; manufacture is at Music Tribe plants in China. The line covers Heritage-D HD96 digital consoles, M32 mixers, DL stageboxes and networked audio I/O.
