Legendary heavy metal band ACCEPT has been a pioneering force in the heavy metal scene for over four decades, known for their thunderous performances and genre-defining albums. Continuing to captivate audiences worldwide, they are now taking the world by storm with their highly anticipated Humanoid Tour 2024.

Powered by the latest Midas technology and renowned for delivering iconic performances across continents, ACCEPT’s latest tour features state-of-the-art sound systems – with Midas’ groundbreaking HD96-AIR, making its much-anticipated debut on the tour.

For the Humanoid Tour, ACCEPT has partnered with PAN Pro to secure an impressive range of Midas products, including two complete sets to ensure maximum flexibility. The tour's audio set up includes the HD96 Console, HD96-AIR, FB16, and multiple I/O boxes such as the DL151, DL152, and DL153.

The team also utilizes the AS88 system, along with KT MADI systems for seamless audio integration. This powerful combination ensures top sound quality whether the band is performing on the road or flying between continents.

Leading the audio engineering team is Olli Tschotow, CEO of Melodus GmbH, who has meticulously crafted the setup to achieve peak performance. The onboard features and plugins included with the HD96 console eliminate the need for external outboard gear, further simplifying the setup. The inclusion of a binaural engine within the console adds an immersive dimension to the audience’s experience, delivering a sound that’s as precise as it is powerful.

Tschotow and his team also took advantage of the Personal Mix App Control, allowing musicians to easily manage their own mixes during sound checks. Additionally, the binaural engine’s ability to deliver three-dimensional sound captures the full dynamics of ACCEPT's performance like never before.

For a globally recognised band like ACCEPT, quick setups and lightweight systems are critical, especially when navigating the tight schedules of an international tour. The Midas setup addresses these challenges with its fast assembly and teardown times, ensuring consistency in sound quality no matter the location.

“The Midas HD96 console was the natural choice for this tour,” says Tschotow. “Its sound quality is second to none, and its onboard features eliminate the need for external processing. This allows us to travel light while still achieving the pristine, powerful sound that ACCEPT is known for.”
