Legendary MIDAS Microphone Preamplification
The MIDAS 502 captures the unmistakable analogue tone that has made MIDAS consoles a favourite among world-class live sound and recording engineers. Designed with premium-grade components and enhanced with four discrete ultra-low-noise input transistors, this microphone preamp delivers exceptional transparency, detailed imaging, and musical warmth across any source.
From delicate vocal recordings to dynamic instrument tracking, the MIDAS 502 preserves natural tone and ambience while adding the subtle harmonic richness that engineers value in high-end analogue equipment.
Classic XL4 Filter Design
Inspired by the iconic MIDAS XL4 live performance console, the 502 includes fully adjustable low pass and high pass filters for precise tonal shaping and signal cleanup. The low pass filter sweeps from 1kHz to 40kHz, while the high pass filter operates from 10Hz to 400Hz, giving engineers flexible control over unwanted frequencies and low-end rumble.
Its overload-tolerant input stage handles signals up to +24 dBu without requiring a pad, while maintaining the soft clipping behaviour that delivers crystal-clear audio with smooth harmonic character.
Ideal For
The MIDAS 502 is ideal for recording studios, live sound engineers, podcasters, broadcasters, and musicians seeking premium analogue microphone preamplification. From Perth production studios and Adelaide live venues to podcast setups on the Gold Coast and creative workspaces in Canberra and Newcastle, this versatile 500 series module delivers professional-grade sound for vocals, instruments, drums, and broadcast applications.
