Mubari Delivers 30 Hours of Flawless Audio with Dual Midas HD96 Consoles ar Riuh Merdeka 2025

PUTRAJAYA, MALAYSIA — Riuh Merdeka 2025 returned with one of its most ambitious productions to date — a 30-hour non-stop  festival featuring a star-studded lineup and heavy technical demands behind the scenes. Tasked with delivering consistent, high-fidelity sound throughout the marathon event, Mubari Sound & Light Group deployed a robust Midas system that showcased both its sonic capabilities and absolute reliability under pressure.

Anchoring the audio workflow were two Midas HD96-24 digital consoles, stationed at Front of House (FOH) and Stage Monitoring. Known for their 96kHz processing engine, ultra-low latency performance and intuitive touchscreen-driven workflow, the HD96 consoles formed the backbone of the festival's production. Supporting them were six Midas DL231 dual-zone digital stage boxes, enabling independant gain control, seamless multi-engineer operation and fully redundant I/O distribution — essential for a lineup with frequent artist changeovers.

This year's festival brought in some of Malaysia's most recognisable headliners, including Yuna, Misha Omar, Pop Shuvit, Aliff Satar & The Locos, IAmNeeta, and Datuk Zainal Abidin. With a wide mix of genres —  from pop and R&B to rock, traditional fusion and high-energy live band formats - the system's flexibility was put to the test across shifting dynamics, complex monitor requirements and varied stage plots.

Despite the demanding schedule and continuous performance blocks, the Midas HD96 consoles ran continuously for 30 hours without a single interruption. Engineers praised the desk's stability, deep routing architecture and the DL231's ability to mantain clean, consistent signal paths even during rapid-fire changeovers. The combination allowed Mubari's team to maintain pristine audio quality from the festival's opening acts to the Merdeka countdown and the final performances the nex evening

Riuh Merdeka 2025 stands as a showcase of what careful system design and dependable hardware can achieve in a high-stakes national event. For Mubari Sound & Light Group, it is another milestone in large-format live production — and a  testament to the performance and resilience of the Midas HD96 ecosystem in real-world, round-the-clock operation.
