Welcome
Thank You for using a Midas Siena mixing console. The Siena has been developed to meet the needs of even the most
demanding live sound applications. The console delivers both the quality of build and superior audio performance that you
would expect from a Midas. All backed up, of course, by the standard Midas Three Year Warranty.
The Siena is an all purpose Monitor or Monitor/Front of House (FOH) hybrid console that is quickly and easily configurable.
Available in 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 input channel frame sizes, each mono input channel offers microphone and line inputs
with four band swept equaliser, direct output and insert send/return. In addition to a master stereo bus, each channel may
be assigned onto the console's 16 mix sends, configurable for mono or stereo operation, and featuring independent
pre/post switching, level/level or level/pan control.
The 16 mix bus outputs provide the flexibility to generate mono floor monitor or stereo wireless in-ear monitor feeds, with
each bus featuring dedicated metering, an insert point and fader level control. In addition, any mix bus from 9 to 16 may be
routed and panned onto the stereo master providing sub mixing capabilities for FOH applications.
A comprehensive solo system and five auto mute groups further enhance the Siena's feature set for dealing with the most
demanding of applications.
Please take the time to complete and return the registration card and, to obtain the best results, please read this operator's
manual.
Finally,
Enjoy your new Midas Siena Console!

ATTENTION
The following special limitations must be observed in order to maintain safety and electromagnetic
compatibility performance.
Power Connection
The console should only be operated with the power
supply connected to ground via the ground in the mains
connector.
Audio Connections
The console should only be operated with high quality
twisted-pair audio cables. All connector shells should be
of metal construction so that they provide a screen when
connected to the console. All jack connector shells should
be connected to the cable screen. All XLR plugs should
have pin one (1) connected to the cable screen.
Electric Fields
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is
amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal, the signal to
noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be
experienced under extreme conditions (3V/m, 90%
modulation).
INSTALLATION
Position
The position of the console will vary from venue to venue. However, when positioning the console for front of house usage it
is worth placing the console in a position where the sound system used can be heard properly from the mix position. Try to
avoid placing the console behind pillars or large objects , or mixing from a level above the speaker position (e.g. from a
balcony).
Also try to avoid placing the console near or on any power distribution units or power amplifiers.
Power
If using an external power supply, it should be located as far away from the console as the connecting cable will allow. The
power supply should be set for the voltage supply available in your area and plugged into the mains outlet using the cable
provided.
!
THE POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITH
THE MAINS EARTH DISCONNECTED
Please note that the power supply contains LETHAL VOLTAGES greatly in excess of
the mains voltage and that it’s rails can produce extremely large currents which
could burn out equipment and wiring if shorted. All testing and servicing should
ONLY be carried out by a qualified engineer.
Connections
The console should only be operated with high quality twisted-pair audio cables. All connector shells should be of
metal construction so that they provide a screen when connected to the console. All jack connector shells should
be connected to the cable screen. All XLR plugs should have pin one (1) connected to the cable screen.

cause the input amplifier to overload
(occasional peaks of +12dB is okay, +18dB
is too high).

Ins - The ins switch enables the channel
insert point by connecting the insert return
to the channel signal path. The insert is
switched into circuit before the EQ section,
and may be used to apply external
processing such as compression, gating or
effects to the channel signal.
The mic phase switch is commonly needed
where two microphones are used facing
each other (for example when using a
microphone on both the top and bottom of a
snare drum). Ordinarily the two
microphones would be out of phase causing
cancellation when the console sums the two
signals into the output. Reversing the phase
of one signal causes the microphones to
have the same phase and no cancellation.

EQ On - The Equaliser can be enabled by depressing the EQ On switch. Otherwise changes on the
Equaliser controls have no effect. This can be used to compare the sound with and without EQ
during sound check.
EQ Off (mix pre) Depressing the EQ Off (mix pre) switch causes pre fader sends onto mix busses
1-16 to be sourced before the channel equaliser. For example, you may wish to EQ the channel
signal feeding the master stereo bus while deriving mix sends pre EQ.
Note: post fader sends are always post EQ.

For example, today you may be using the console purely as a monitor
desk, in which case you probably want to generate as many auxiliary sends as possible. In addition, you may
require both mono and stereo mixes to feed a mixture of floor monitors and wireless in-ear monitoring. By
configuring any odd/even pair of the Siena's mix busses for stereo operation, you have complete flexibility over
the console layout.
Alternatively, in a hybrid FOH/monitor application, you may wish to create both auxiliary sends and group
masters. Note that the controls for mix outputs 9-16 vary slightly from those for mix outputs 1-8. This is due to
the fact that mix bus outputs 9-16 may be routed, and panned, onto the stereo master bus. Therefore, mix
busses 9-16 are ideal for use as group outputs as they may be output separately from the console and/or
summed onto the stereo master for a FOH mix. For these reasons, use mix busses 1-8 for auxiliary sends and 916 to create audio sub groups when working in a hybrid FOH/Monitor application.
Pre Fade mix sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute and EQ but before the channel fader. They will
also be fed pre EQ if the mix pre (EQ Off) switch is depressed. As a result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is
proportional to the mix send control only.
15

For maximum flexibility, the Siena has 16 mix busses for use as
auxiliary sends or groups. In addition, any pair of busses may be
configured for mono or stereo operation.
r
Post Fade mix sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute, EQ and channel fader. As a result, the actual
level sent to the mix bus is proportional to the aux send control AND the channel fader.

Channel Fader - The channel fader
allows for continuous adjustment of the
channel level from off (-inf) to +10dB.
At 0dB, the output of the channel to the
stereo master and 16 Mix busses will be
at unity gain (i.e. no boost or cut in level
from the input).
The in-channel meter is especially
useful when setting the microphone
gain of a channel. Also, as the, meter is
post EQ, it is possible to see the effect
that the channel equalisation has upon
the level.

For optimal performance, the level for
input channels should be around +6db.
Therefore, ideally, the in-line meters
should show the 0dB LED illuminated
consistently when signal is present,
with occasional illumination of the
+12dB LED.

Auto Mute 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 The Siena has
five auto mute groups that can be
controlled from the master section of
the console. To assign an input channel
to an auto mute group, switch in the
desired auto mute switch.
Note: auto mute 5 is also available on
the 16 mix and stereo output masters
and, therefore, you may wish to reserve
this group for dealing with output mute
functions.
Commonly, the auto mute groups are used to provide easy muting of similar channels. For
example:

Allows the engineer to quickly remove all choir mics at once
Allows the engineer to zone mics together (e.g. Brass,

Note: the auto mute groups and the individual channel mutes work like a logical OR where any
single or combination of mutes will mute the channel output. This means, for example, that if
channel 1 is assigned to auto mute group 4, and both the auto mute master and channel mute
are active, the output of the channel will remain muted until both the auto mute master and
individual channel mute are deactivated.

Master Section
The Master Section of the Siena console is divided into two principal areas:
On the left hand side of the panel, the two rows of eight faders, associated controls and metering provide output
control for the console's 16 mix busses. Typically, these 16 mix bus outputs are used for auxiliary send masters and/or
group outputs.
On the right hand side of the section, you will find the stereo master output, local and headphone monitoring, master
AFL/PFL selector, talkback, tone, direct input and auto mute master controls.
Mix Bus Outputs
(Auxiliary Send/Group Masters)
The Siena has 16 mix bus outputs for use as auxiliary sends or group outputs. The console uses a generic approach to the
mix bus structure to enable it to cover a wide range of applications.
For example, today you may be using the console purely as a monitor desk, in which case you probably want to generate as
many auxiliary sends as possible. In addition, you may require both mono and stereo monitor mixes to feed a mixture of
floor monitors and wireless in-ear monitoring. By configuring any odd/even pair of the Siena's mix busses for stereo
operation, you have complete flexibility over the console layout.
Alternatively, in a hybrid FOH/monitor application, you may wish to create both auxiliary sends and group masters. You may
already have noticed that the controls for mix outputs 9-16 vary slightly from those for mix outputs 1-8. This is due to the
fact that mix bus outputs 9-16 may be routed, and panned, onto the stereo master bus. Therefore, mix busses 9-16 are
ideal for use as group outputs as they may be output separately from the console and/or summed onto the stereo master
for a FOH mix. For these reasons, use mix busses 1-8 for auxiliary sends and 9-16 to create audio sub groups when working
in a hybrid FOH/Monitor application.

A common application is to use the direct input as a stereo
effects return. For example, you may be using an auxiliary send
to feed signals to an external reverberation unit. Connecting the
reverb return to the direct input allows you to add reverb back
to each of your artist's monitor sends, without needing to use
an additional pair of input channels for this purpose.

The signal added to each mix bus is
affected by the mono/stereo configuration
of each mix bus. For example, if mix
busses 1 and 2 are configured for stereo
operation, bus 1 is fed from direct input left
and bus 2 from direct input right according
to the level settings of the direct 1 and
direct 2 controls. However, the left and
right direct input signals are also summed,
so that if say mix bus 3 is configured as a
mono bus, it is the mono sum which is
added to this output.

The solos for a stereo bus are

The two solo meters
always follow what is being monitored on
the local monitor and headphone
outputs. Therefore, they will meter either
stereo AFL or mono PFL signals
depending on the solo selections across
the console and master AFL/PFL selector.
Please refer to Page 24 for more details
on the console's solo system.

Master Meters The two master meters
indicate the peak signal level of the left
and right master outputs from -24dB to
+21dB in 3 dB steps. Signal is measured
after the master fader and mute
providing a true representation of the
level leaving the output on the rear of the
console.

Direct Input Master Controls
In addition to the console's input channels, Siena features a
single stereo direct input (line level) which may be added to
any of the 16 mix bus outputs or stereo master.

A common application is to use the direct input as a stereo
effects return. For example, you may be using an auxiliary
send to feed signals to an external reverberation unit. Connecting the reverb return to the direct input allows you to
add reverb back to each of your artist's monitor sends, without needing to use an additional pair of input channels
for this purpose.

Tip: when running monitors, you may wish to listen to your mono floor monitor feeds on a separate speaker to your
stereo in-ear monitoring so that you know what the artist is hearing from each system. Connect a pair of stereo
speakers to the Local Monitor L/R output and a separate mono speaker to the Local Monitor M output. Now solo
the mix bus masters feeding both the in-ear monitoring and floor monitors. Using the mono and stereo local
monitor MUTE switches, you will now be able to mute the floor monitor speaker to listen to the stereo in-ear
monitor feed or vice versa.

Do not confuse the Local Monitor M output with the PFL Output connection, as the PFL Out is always active and
does not feature level or mute control. This is because the PFL Out is typically used to connect the PFL bus to a
second console. For example, if the Siena is working with the support band, it may be necessary to feed its PFL
output to the main band's console.

will latch on together. This provides a quick way of listening to a number of channels or outputs. For example, to
solo both the left and right sides of a stereo mix bus output. Alternatively, you can force the console solos to always
be additive by enabling the Solo Add mode. Note: in this mode, solos are prioritised according to the type of input

Input channels and the stereo Direct Input solos take highest priority.
The 16 mix bus master solos take second priority.
The stereo master left and right solos take lowest priority.
To best explain the power of this system, let's take a typical operating scenario. For example, you may wish to set up
the console so that you can PFL any input channel quickly, but still monitor your mix bus auxiliary sends or group
masters in AFL. Select the input PFL switch to force all input channel and the stereo direct input solos into PFL
mode. Also check that the output PFL switch is not selected so that all output solos remain in AFL. Turn on the Solo
Add switch to enable additive solo selections. Finally, turn on the stereo master left and right SOLO latching switches
and check that you are now monitoring the stereo master output post fader (in AFL).
Now press any of the 16 mix bus master SOLO switches. Since the mix bus master solos are higher in priority than
the stereo master solos, you will be monitoring only the output of the mix bus (in AFL) even though all three SOLO
switches remain illuminated.
Then select a SOLO switch on any input channel. This time the hierarchical system works to provide you with
monitoring of the input channel only. The input channel is monitored pre fader (in PFL) since this was the selection
made from the master AFL/PFL selector.
If you now deselect the input channel solo, you will go back to monitoring the mix bus output in AFL.
S0011
Remember that you can also use SOLO Clear at any time to clear down all selections except the stereo master solos.
This allows you to quickly revert to monitoring the stereo master output.

HELIX Digital Equaliser
Solo Tracking System
The Siena console features a Solo Tracking System which allows
any of the 16 mix bus master or stereo master solos on the
console to trigger auto solo messages on the Klark Teknik
DN9340 (HELIX) digital graphic equaliser. This unique interface
allows engineers to quickly view the equaliser settings for a mix
output on the HELIX master display simply by pressing the corresponding mix solo switch on the console.

when you select the stereo master left SOLO switch, the HELIX will respond by displaying equaliser settings for the

Operators Manual - Page 27
Setting Up The Siena
The Siena has been designed with real world sound engineering in mind. With its flexible routing and feature
set, the console is as happy running the front of house (FOH) mix as it is providing monitor mixes for the
artists on stage.
In this section of the manual, we will introduce some of the basic operating principles of the Siena console,
and discuss some typical operating scenarios and the best way to approach them.
Setting the Correct Input Gain
The Siena’s input channel has a mono microphone and line input. Gain is provided on these channels to allow the
operator to obtain the optimal signal for the system.
Microphone Gain
Mono Channel Line Gain
+15dB to +60dB (0dB to +45dB with pad switch enabled)
0dB to +45dB (-15dB to 30dB with pad switch enabled)
Each channel of the Siena includes an in-line channel LED meter indicating the channel level (measured after the
channel insert and EQ but before the channel fader). With the insert and EQ disabled, the in-channel meter will
show the level at the input in four stages:-18dB
0dB
+12dB
+18dB
- Signal Present
- Normal operating level
- High Signal Level
- 3dB before channel overload (clipping)
The input gain of the channel can be used to obtain the best operating level for the console. Too small a signal level
(too little gain) and the best signal to noise ratio will not be achieved; too high a signal level (too much gain) and
there is the chance of overloading the channel causing distortion.
Clearly, the gain should be positioned between these two points, to gain an optimal signal to noise ratio without
overloading the channel. The ideal level for input channels would be around +6dB with occasional illumination of
+12dB.
Leaving Enough Headroom
A channel signal is only permitted to swing high and low by an amount fixed by the power supply. If the maximum
output of the Siena channel strip is +21dBu (0dBu = 0.775 volts RMS) then imagine the following situation:
Headroom is the amount of spare ‘swing’ available to the system. If 6dB headroom was desired at all times, a
maximum level of +15dB is required to retain the headroom.
To prevent overload, the gain must be set to a point that even the highest output from the microphone during
sound check has some headroom left to prevent any surprises during the show!
The consoles Busses (e.g. Left and Right Main buss) are the point where all channel signals are summed together.
In normal operation, it is unlikely that all channels will receive the same signal at the same time so typically when
48 channels are summed together a gain of around 6 to 9dB will be seen. It is important to leave some headroom in
the summing amplifiers so that they do not overload, should the sum exceed the maximum level.
The Effect of EQ
Channel equalisation should be used with care. Boosting or cutting equaliser bands can make monitoring your
actual input level very difficult. Excessive boosting of EQ (+15dB is available on each band)will have the same
effect as applying more gain to the input, taking up valuable headroom. Consider backing off the channel gain
when using large amounts of boost (if you have to use large amounts of boost) to retain a sensible level at the
output.
Excessive EQ cut can have a similarly undesirable effect. If a large amount of signal is cut in the equaliser section,
gain may be used to ‘make up’ the level lost in the equaliser. However, the input pre-amplifier still has the same
amount of available headroom. If gain, added to ‘make up’ the loss in the equaliser, exceeds the maximum level
into the microphone pre-amp then the channel won’t appear to be overloaded but the microphone pre-amp will.
Turning off the equaliser will reveal the true story, whereby the microphone pre-amp may be overloaded. It is
worth considering whether such large amounts of EQ cut is really required, or whether it is being used rather more
as a volume control (in which case the input gain could be set to a normal operating level and the output adjusted
on the channel fader).
TIP: You can monitor the level pre-EQ and post-EQ using the in-channel LED meter by switching the EQ in and out
during sound check.
Operators Manual - Page 28
Setting Up The Siena
Using Dynamics Processing to Control Gain
When working with signals that are constantly at a high level, the channel gain can accommodate these signals
with ease. When working with varying signals (such as the vocals) it may be desirable to reduce the dynamic range
of the signal so that the loud parts aren’t so loud (and don’t overload your channel input) and the quiet bits aren’t
too quiet (so the signal to noise ratio would be increased).
Limiters and Compressors have a similar function which is to reduce the dynamic range of a signal. The means by
which they do this won’t be discussed here but, these devices have the ability to reduce the level of loud signals
automatically and also raise the gain to ‘make up’ the level as desired. The channel gain can now be set with
adequate headroom to accommodate both loud and quiet signals and the compressor can reduce the dynamic
range and ‘make up’ any reduction in level. By inserting such a device into the channel’s insert point you have the
ability to remove the guesswork from setting your system gain.
However (and this is a big however), there are still sources of potential problems. The Siena is able to operate at
levels up to +21dBu on both the insert send and return. If the maximum input level of the compressor was less
than +21dBu then it is possible to overload the input of the compressor. The only way to resolve this situation
would be to drop the channel input gain so that the input level of the compressor was not being overloaded. Bear in
mind however, the level returned from the compressor would also be lower than +21dBu and excessive use of the
compressor ‘make up’ gain would overload the output of the compressor!
What is Unity Gain?
Unity gain is a gain of 1 (i.e. no gain or attenuation is applied to a signal).
If a signal entered a mono line level input of the Siena at 0dBu and the gain was set to +15dB (an internal 15dB
attenuation sets the net gain to 0dB), then the signal was routed to each output at 0dB, the channel fader was set
to 0dB and each output fader was set to 0dB, the output should be 0dBu (or unity). Some console manufacturers
mark the 0dB level of their faders and pots ‘U’.
Simple. But that’s just one signal. If we have two 0dBu signals entering the Siena (assuming they are coherent i.e. the same level and phase) to be summed in the busses, the output would no longer be 0dBu.
Simply,
0dBu = 0.775 volts
0.775 volts + 0.775 volts = 1.55 volts
1.55 volts is 0.775 volts +6dB (or a gain of 2)
To retain an output of 0dBu (our previous unity level) each input must be reduced.
0.775 volts / 2 = 0.3875 volts
0.3875 volts is 0.775 volts -6dB (or a gain of 1/2)
So each fader must be reduced to -6dB to retain the unity gain level of 0dBu on the console output. When using four
inputs at 0dBu, the faders must be reduced to -12dB. Real life signals are not continuous, but the principal is the
same. If you have a sinusoidal input that is nominally 0dBu on all 48 inputs with the channel faders at 0dB, the
output is likely to be well above the 21dBu maximum output of the console and leave no headroom spare. With real
world signals, 48 channels summed together will give around 6 to 9dB gain because it is unlikely that all 48
channels will receive the same signal at the same time. Instead signals will occur at different times, and there will
be cancellation due to phase and frequency differences.
Operators Manual - Page 29
Setting Up The Siena
Signal Processing and Amplifiers
The final links in the system tend to be graphical equalisers, loudspeaker processors and finally amplifiers and
speakers.
Graphical equalisers have the same problems as the Siena’s EQ. If excessive boost is applied to the signal, the
graphic equaliser’s output may be overloaded. If, the output of the Siena is higher than the maximum input level of
the graphic, the input of the graphic may be overloaded.
Loudspeaker processors have similar problems. If the input level to the processor is too high, the input may be
overloaded and introduce distortion into the outputs (and to the speakers!). In addition to this, any boost on the
processors outputs (say you want 3dB more bass) will cause that output to overload earlier (in this case 3dB before
the other outputs).
Finally, amplifiers can introduce the most interesting results.
An amplifier has a sensitivity. That is, an input signal level that causes the amplifier to produce it’s maximum output
level. For many amps this is 0dBu (0.775 volts RMS), others use 0dBV (1 volt RMS) others use different levels.
Beyond this sensitivity, the amplifiers output will not be able to produce any more power and ‘CLIP’ (usually
indicated by some serious looking red lights). Sending +21dBu level from the Siena will clip the output of most
amplifiers causing damage to your loudspeaker system.
There are a number of solutions to this problem:
Reduce the amplifiers input attenuators to a level where the amplifier and console clip at the same point.
E.g. The input sensitivity is 0dBu, setting the input attenuator on the amplifier to -21dB would mean
that the console would clip at the same time as the amplifier. So operating the console sensibly
the amplifier should never be clipped. The console led Meters will also accurately show the
Available headroom left in the entire system.
-21dB may not be a sensible level to set as many operators choose not
to run the output of the console so high. That is personal choice.
Run the output of the console at a level below 0dBu
This solution means that you won’t get full benefit of the console, and may
suffer a reduced signal to noise ratio especially when running over long signal cables. But the
amplifiers should be saved from clipping.
As with many things in the audio world, use your ears. If something sounds distorted check:
Input Gain too high?
EQ Too Much Boost?
EQ Too Much Cut coupled with a High Input Gain?
Too High a level into Inserted Processor?
Clipping Loudspeaker controller or Amplifiers
(lower input gain and check)
(disable eq and check)
(disable eq and check)
(disable insert and check)
(check CLIP lights on amps etc.)

Setting Up The Siena
Busses and Routing
Siena has a master stereo bus plus 16 mix bus outputs which may be used as auxiliary sends or group outputs
depending on the application of the console. This generic approach to the mix bus structure enables the console
cover a wide range of applications. Here are two typical examples:
Monitors (Creating Auxiliary Sends)
When using the Siena purely as a monitor desk, you will want to generate as many auxiliary sends as possible to
feed each artist's monitoring. In addition, you may require both mono and stereo monitor mixes to feed a mixture
of floor monitors and wireless in-ear monitoring. By configuring any odd/even pair of the Siena's mix busses for
stereo operation, you have complete flexibility over the console layout. A typical layout may be as follows:
Mix Bus
1-8
9 & 10
11-16
Master Stereo
Format

Application
sends to eight mono floor monitors.

may remain unused, or generate an additional
send to the stage.
stereo
monitor
You may now use the mix bus master controls to adjust the level of each artist's send on the master fader, mute
single or multiple feeds and solo your sends on local monitoring or headphones in AFL or PFL. Use the mix bus
master insert sends and returns to apply any external master processing (e.g. a protection limiter) to individual
sends.
Tips
* The stereo direct input provides an additional input to the console. A common application is to use the direct
input as a stereo effects return, which saves using two input channels for this purpose. For example, connect the
output of your external reverb unit to the console's direct input. Now use the Direct Input Level to Mix controls,
located above the mix bus master faders, to add reverb onto each artist's send.
* You may wish to listen to your mono floor monitor feeds on a separate loudspeaker to your stereo in-ear
monitoring so that you know what the artist is hearing from each system. Connect a pair of stereo speakers to the
Local Monitor L/R output and a separate mono speaker to the Local Monitor M output. Now solo the mix bus
masters feeding both the in-ear monitoring and floor monitors. Using the mono and stereo local monitor MUTE
switches, you will now be able to mute the floor monitor speaker to listen to the stereo in-ear monitor feed or vice
versa.
* The Siena provides five auto mute groups to provide easy muting of similar channels. For example, during a live
concert, there may be one song where most of the band will leave the stage. During this part of the show, monitor
sends are only needed for one or two performers. By selecting auto mute 5 on all of the other band members'
auxiliary send masters, you may mute these monitor feeds with one switch press auto mute master 5.

Setting Up The Siena
Busses and Routing
Dual Purpose Front of House (FOH) and Monitor Applications
With its flexible routing and feature set, the Siena is happy to run both the front of house (FOH) mix and provide
monitor mixes for the artists on stage. In this dual purpose application, you will want to use some of the 16 mix
busses, as above, to generate your monitor feeds to the stage, while the remaining busses can be used to generate
audio sub groups.
The master controls for mix outputs 9-16 vary slightly from those for mix outputs 1-8. This is due to the fact that
mix bus outputs 9-16 may be routed, and panned, onto the stereo master bus. This makes mix busses 9-16 ideal
for use as group outputs as they may be output separately from the console and/or summed onto the stereo
master for a FOH mix. For these reasons, use mix busses 1-8 for auxiliary sends and 9-16 to create audio sub
groups when working in a hybrid FOH/Monitor application. A typical console layout may be as follows:

and/or
Group Outputs Typical Applications
Applications for groups vary, but include:
Sub mixes
Sub mixes are a common way of saving time (and possibly embarrassment) when using a large number of
microphones. For example: multiple microphones for Choirs, Drum Kits/Percussion, Orchestras, etc . . .
Typically, the sub mixes will probably be stereo so switch your chosen mix bus masters (e.g.9-16) into stereo mode
using the recessed stereo switches located beside the mix bus master faders.
Each input channel to be sub mixed should be routed to the mix bus send ONLY (i.e. not to the stereo master).
Remember to set both the level and pan on the input channel send. The channel fader sets the relative level
between the channels in the sub mix.
The group masters (e.g. mix bus masters 9-16) should then be routed to the stereo master bus and panned L-R as
required. The sub mix is now set up.
The group master controls (mix bus masters) can now be used to control the overall level of the sub mix, mute the
sub mix output or solo the sub mix signal.
Note: muting the sub mix is not the same as muting the input channels, as other input channel sends remain
active. If channels within a sub mix are required to be muted, use the auto mute facility.
Master EQ/External Signal Processing
Often, it is either too expensive or undesirable to apply signal processing to each channel individually (for example:
compression on a whole choir, graphic eq on a number of microphones, etc...).
Set up a sub mix, as described above, to group similar signals together. Now the desired external processor can be
inserted into the group (mix bus master) insert send and return to apply processing to the sub mix.
Alternative Outputs
When mixing for a number of speakers in a venue, it may be necessary to generate separate mixes with different
levels or processing.
Route the input channels to the chosen mix bus sends, let's say mix busses 9 and 10 and adjust the channel send
and fader controls.
Make sure the groups (mix bus masters) are NOT routed to the stereo master output. The group outputs (e.g. mix
bus 9 and 10) should then be wired into the amplification feeds to the speaker systems.
You may now control the separate mixes using the channel mix sends and master mix bus controls.

Busses and Routing
Auxiliary Sends Typical Configuration
When determining how many mix busses you wish to use for auxiliary sends, you may wish to consider the
following. We've also provided some recommendations on how to configure each send, depending on its
application.
Application
Artist Monitor Sends
Pre/Post Fade Reason
Pre (Post EQ)
The level in the monitor stays constant so that the
engineer can change the FOH level without affecting the
performer.
Effects Sends
Post
The level sent to the effects is proportional to the level on
the fader so the balance between wet (processed) and dry
(un-processed) sound stays the same even when the
channel level is changed.
Multitrack Recording
or Monitors from FOH
Pre (Pre-EQ)
The recording is made at constant level without EQ
so that these changes can be set in post-production when
more time, and a better listening environment are available.
(You can also use the channel insert send as a Direct Out for
this application but note that the output will be at unity).

Power Supply Information
The number of power supplies shipped as standard with the Siena varies with the frame size as follows:
Channels
24
32 - 56
64
Internal

External
0
0
1
Redundancy
NO
YES
YES
The internal supplies on the 64 channel Siena should be switched on at approximately the same time so that excessive
load is not applied to any single supply.
The external power supply can be used to add or increase redundancy or to replace the internal supplies. The external
supply has a “daisy chain” facility (as shown below) allowing for a number of power supplies to be used together adding
redundancy to the system in the event of a power supply failing.

To subsequent supplies
Under NO circumstances should the Venice series power supply be used with the Siena. Only the Midas V190 Linear
External Power Supply is approved for use with Siena consoles.
Servicing and Maintenance
Both the Siena and the Midas V190 linear external power supply both contain potentially lethal voltages and should
only be serviced by authorised Midas service agents. In the event of malfunction, please refer servicing to qualified
personnel. Contact your Midas dealer for more information.
Due to a policy of continual improvement, Midas reserves the right to alter the specification and performance at any time without prior notification.
