Overview
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.
