Overview

Product description from Midas

VF16R — Venice 16, Rack-Mount. Sixteen Midas Preamps. FireWire I/O.

The rack-mount variant of the VF16. Same 16-channel DIGI-LOG architecture, same Midas XL3 EQ, same 24-bit FireWire interface — folded into a 13U rack chassis for installs, broadcast booths and tour racks where surface real estate was the constraint.

Sixteen Midas Preamps. XL3 EQ. Rack-Ready.

Eight mono and four stereo input channels feed 16 award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers. The industry-acclaimed Midas XL3 4-band swept-channel EQ on every input — the curve that defined a generation of front-of-house mixing.
