dBs and the MIDAS sponsorship gaff
The news is out - dBs has bagged a fantastic sponsorship deal from MIDAS. For the uninitiated MIDAS manufacture some of the best live mixing consoles that money can buy. And as dBs put on some of the best live sound engineering courses in the UK it seemed like a great idea to get together.
