MIDAS VeniceU-16
At first glance, VeniceU looks like a straightforward, easy-to-use analogue audio console – an application it will fulfill with ease. However, a closer look shows that VeniceU is also a hybrid “Digi-log” mixer offering a fusion of both analogue and digital technology.One look at the VeniceU confirms that this console continues the legacy established by the ground-breaking MIDAS consoles which have been at the heart of so many historic live performances. From the VeniceU’s class-leading EQ filters, to the latest expression of that legendary MIDAS mic preamp, this is a console which compromises only on price.
As with FireWire equipped VeniceF, the VeniceU bridges the gap between analogue and digital audio consoles, and offers the user the ease-of-use, warmth, feel, and zero-latency of analogue, combined with the power, choice and flexibility of outboard digital processing via its 8 x 8 USB digital audio interface.

Features:
Digi-log - USB
VeniceU’s USB audio interface combines the power and convenience of digital audio processing with the warmth and feel of an analogue audio mixer. The USB interface can be used with any computer fitted with a USB port, and is effectively a 16-channel (8 x 8) digital audio bus, which connects directly to your computer and enables the use of any third-party audio processing software in conjunction with the console.
All 6 aux buses, 4 subgroups, both matrix buses and the stereo masters route to the USB interface, up to 8 buses at one time. Applications include multitrack recording from the VeniceU’s digital bus outputs, and plugin FX processors driven from aux sends and returned to the stereo channels’ digital USB inputs. All with a heart of pure MIDAS.
