Behringer X32 32 Channel Digital Mixer

Full Description

Intuitive & Powerful

The X32 is designed to improve and optimise your workflow, providing a powerful and natural audio solution that can be used in a range of different settings. The design of the mixing desk provides a seamless mixing experience that results in increased workflow. X32's latest firmware adds to the functionality adding new scene management features and EQ functions, featuring a 100-band Real Time Analyzer, flexible library import/export capabilities and faster FX editing. Also included is 16 new FX Plug-Ins which are modeled on famous classic audio hardware. This gives you the warmth and power of the old analog hardware revitalised in the digital era.

Main Display

The 7'' day-viewable colour TFT (thin-film transistor) display provides the perfect visual monitoring solution for the mixing console. The high-contrast of this display ensures that it can be viewed during bright and sunny days where TVs, Monitors and other displays are usually washed out. The display is designed to provide you with all the information on the parameters and controls you are using at the time. The intelligent design of the display allows you to control functions such as Effects, Metering, Routing and more with just the press of a few buttons.

Motorised Faders

The X32 features 25 long-throw, 100 mm motorised servo faders for primary mix control. the motorised faders help to minimise any manual movement which can prove tiresome in larger projects and live environments. Separate fader sections for inputs and buses allow you to conveniently assign from inputs to groups/buses. The faders have the ability to store up to 100 scenes (Remembering fader positions from saved projects) with the faders jumping into action when the scene is recalled.

Expansive Output Connectivity

Designed to provide extensive output connectivity, the X32 features 16 balanced XLR outputs, six balanced Line I/O on 1/4'' TRS connectors, dual Phones outputs; Main LCR (Left, Center, Right) buses, 16 mix buses (also configurable as subgroups) with Inserts, 6-band parametric EQ and dynamics processing; plus six independent Matrix Mixes with Inserts, also with 6-band parametric EQ and dynamic processing.

Comprehensive Controls

Featuring eight assignable DCA groups with group level control via the dedicated 100mm motorised faders, the X32 delivers optimum control over your inputs and outputs. Also featured is a talkback section (with a built-in microphone) letting you conveniently communicate with the artist(s) as you record. The dedicated custom control section lets you map knobs and buttons to functions and controls you want, giving you endless possibilities when it comes to controlling your mixes.
