The MIDIX was chosen for its reliability, serviceability and because it is a hardware router with minimum delays and distortion. The MIDIX30 is equivalent to sixteen of the 8x8 software routers it replaced and which had proven to be too unreliable.

MIDIX is fully RS232 controlled and has many advanced features including MIDI Recall, Illegal routing definitions, Events, Messages and diagnostic monitoring. The mergers are also RS232 controlled and have comprehensive filtering of all MIDI Statuses and large buffers.

All MIDI I/O is on DB25 connectors with 5 ports per connector. Heavy duty tie bars support multicore cable looms.
