The PRO9 was specified by long-time Slipknot engineer Dave 'Shirt' Nicholls, who was won over to Midas digital by a PRO6 which he used on tour with Stone Sour in the US. "I loved the sound of the desk and I loved the feel of it," he says. "The EQ is smooth and the preamps seem to be bullet proof. When the Slipknot tour came up, it was a no brainer to stay with Midas digital."
A Klark Teknik DN9696 high resolution audio recorder and Klark Teknik DN9331Rapide graphic EQ controller complete the set up. "Both have worked flawlessly and are extremely easy to use," says Nicholls who pays tribute to Rob Hughes at Midas and SAS managing director Kevin Mobberley for their support. "Rob really helped our monitor guy Ron Hurd in making the move to the PRO6," reports Nicholls, "and Kevin has gone above and beyond the call in getting this package all ready to go."
