It was the first time world wide that 3 Midas XL-8 systems during a life event were operated the same time in one single network.
The XL-8 used on front controlled 96 input channels full operational at the same time while the second XL-8 took care of 28 monitor groups all operational at the same time.

The 3d XL-8 took care of sub mixing a 6000+ choir!! The Midas XL-8 system delivered also the direct broadcast feed.

Hof audio (owner of one XL-8 system) hired 2 Midas XL-8 systems and a system technician from Dryhire.eu to complete the setup.

A quote from Axel Nagtegaal MD of Midas consoles Benelux: "From a mixing stand point every possible bit and piece of the XL-8's were used over all available channels and there was not one moment the engineers involved lost control over the mix and sonic performance during this life event.
This event proved that Midas XL-8 is able of delivering the well known "Midas analog" touch and feel in a very complex all digital mix and routing environment!" 

A quote from the broadcast technicians: "Jeee what a superb sonic quality the XL-8 delivers and we are sensing details otherwise never to be heard... great!!"
