The award reflects the huge success enjoyed by the PRO6 since its launch last August. Almost 200 have been sold worldwide, with systems used on acts including AC/DC, Metallica, Van Morrison, Jan Smit, the Pogues, Marillion, Snow Patrol, Benabar, Il Divo, Kasabian and Eddi Reader.
A total of six PRO6s were in attendance at ProLight&Sound 2009: on the EVI Germany and Mega Audio booths as well as handling daily live music programmes on the outdoor Pro Stage and in the Agora tent.
"We're delighted that the international audio press has recognised the Midas PRO6 as the leading product in its category," says Cooper. "This is consistent with the countless engineers who won't settle for anything else, having used Midas digital."
