Ian Beveridge, Foo Fighters' monitor engineer, with BRP's Dave Poynter
World - A Midas PRO6, supplied by Britannia Row Productions in Europe and Delicate Productions in the USA, has gone out for the first time on monitors on Foo Fighters' world tour in support of their seventh studio album, Wasting Light. The tour kicked off in Tulsa, Oklahoma in May, taking in over 60 dates across North America, Europe, and Australasia, and with new dates still being added, will continue into 2012.

Monitor engineer Ian Beveridge, who has worked with Foo Fighters for some 17 years, says of the PRO6, "It's the best sounding console I have ever used, bar none. The band themselves commented on the sonic improvement the moment the PRO6 arrived. Their latest record was made without any computers at all; it's five guys with five instruments on the record and live, and the sound of the PRO6 complements this approach perfectly."

For recording the shows, Beveridge has teamed the PRO6 up with a Pro Tools system via a Klark Teknik DN9650 network bridge, fitted with a MADI card.
