Overview:
The BEHRINGER X32 Digital Mixing Console has taken the entire audio
world by storm, selling many tens of thousands of units in the first year
alone. It has been praised by leading audio experts and engineers for its
phenomenally user-friendly, intuitive layout and elegant workflow, literally
changing the rules of the game when it comes to live sound and recording
applications. Download our free X32-Mix iPad, X32-Q iPhone and X32-Edit
PC/Mac/Linux Apps – and you can listen to and adjust FOH and monitor mixes from
anywhere in the venue, providing exceptional freedom and ease-of-use.
Ready for Your Input
- Use any combination of the local 32 console mic inputs or the
networked digital snake inputs on stage—their audiophile quality programmable
preamps always ensure full control, purity and impeccable dynamics. The
dedicated channel strip section puts 17 backlit buttons and 13 rotary controls
with LED-collars right at your fingertips for nuanced adjustment of each
channel’s compressor, 4-band parametric EQ and much more. Each input and output
channel strip features its own color backlit 128 x 64 graphic LCD, which
provides vital channel information at-a-glance.
Virtual FX Rack
- The onboard virtual FX Rack provides access to eight
true-stereo, multi-effects processors (16 mono) including delay, chorus,
dynamics—and it can run 4 production quality true-stereo reverbs concurrently
with 8 channels of 31-band graphic equalization, all without the need for
expensive, space-consuming external hardware.
High-Count I/O Options
- X32’s extensive connectivity includes 32 high-end
programmable mic preamps, 6 balanced Line Ins and Outs on 1/4" TRS, 16
balanced XLR Outs, plus dual Phones and balanced Control Room outputs on both
XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors. Additionally, a single AES50 Cat 5e cable
from FOH to the stage can transfer up to 48 channels of bi-directional audio,
collecting all input signals and delivering all bus outputs, along with 16
individual monitor feeds for BEHRINGER’s brand new P16 personal monitoring
system—all on just one line! The two AES50 ports provide connectivity for up to
six BEHRINGER S16 stage boxes, or for sharing signals between multiple
consoles—all with its ultra-low latency and high reliability the SuperMAC
technology is known for.
Vital Information is Just a Click Away
- Thanks to the netbook-resolution, 800 x 480 high-contrast
color TFT display, you are never more than one or two button presses away from
any of X32’s eight highly intuitive control screens. Once you select the
desired function, dedicated rotary/push encoders allow you to set parameters
and source I/O assignment, without the need to “drill down” through multiple
layers of menus or page through a complex owner’s manual.
Versatile Signal and Scene Management
- Signals can be assigned to eight DCA groups (Digitally
Controlled Amplifier), which provides simultaneous group level control via
dedicated 100 mm motorized faders. The audio engineer can communicate with the
talent by means of the Talkback section’s onboard mic or an external mic of
their choosing. X32’s scene management allows snapshots of high-level
production mixes to be captured and recalled for future use (you can even save them
to a USB stick). X32 even has a dedicated custom control section with
user-definable knobs and buttons where you can create your own set of controls,
making it easy to access frequently used functions "on-the-fly."
Powered by MIDAS & KLARK TEKNIK
- When we began development on the X32, we called on our
sister companies, MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK, recognized the world over for their
digital consoles and EQ/FX processing, for implementation support. The
programmable, high-grade mic preamps found in the X32 are based on a genuine
MIDAS design, all the way down to their A/D converters. The resulting design
ensures superior common mode rejection (CMRR) and extremely low harmonic
distortion (THD). The X32 is an amazingly clean amalgam of high technology
merged with superb user-friendly features.
- We received brilliant support from MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK in
designing X32's GUI (graphical user interface), a major advancement in digital
mixing made easy, productive, and well… fun! They also drew on their extensive
experience in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) coding for rock-solid,
ultra-low latency digital channel patching—giving the X32 the capacity to
handle up to 168 sources on 168 destinations, including the two AES50 ports.
You can expect to see more collaboration between BEHRINGER and MIDAS in the
very near future.
Bus and Rear Panel Flexibility
- X32 provides 25 fully featured mix buses that can be
configured for many different applications; Main LCR (Left, Center, Right)
buses; 16 mix buses (individually configurable as pre/post EQ, pre/post Fader
or Subgroup) with Inserts, 6-band parametric EQ and dynamics processing; plus
six independent Matrix Mixes with Inserts, also with 6-band parametric EQ and
dynamics processing.
- The X32 abounds with a total of 168 accessible sources and
destinations—and managing this much I/O has never been easier! Next to all the
analog ins and outs, the rear panel also sports two AES50* ports, each with
KLARK TEKNIK’s rock-solid SuperMAC networking capability (addressing a total of
96 concurrent inputs and outputs) for dependable communication between the X32
and digital snakes, remote stage boxes or even other consoles. Stereo AES/EBU
output, ULTRANET P16 and MIDI are also supported, plus a convenient top panel
USB port is provided for recording an uncompressed two-channel “board mix”
straight to any standard USB thumb drive or for playing background music. The
Ethernet socket allows complete remote control via LAN or WiFi, and the
expansion slot suggests there is even more to come...
Ultra-fast and Stable USB Connection
- We want you to get the most out of your X32’s recording
capability. The included X-USB Expansion Card allows you to transfer tracks to
your PC or Mac via USB 2.0. With its 480 Mbit/second throughput, the X-USB is
significantly faster than FireWire400 – and much more stable. Plus, the X-USB
supports 32 x 32 channel I/O and USB MIDI, so it interfaces with popular DAW
software. The X-USB turns your X32 into a sophisticated control surface, and
includes remote HUI* and Mackie Control emulation.
Digital Mixing—Analog Price
- The BEHRINGER X32 digital mixing console sets a new
benchmark for live sound mixing along with unprecedented value. Behringer is
proud to offer the full-featured X32 digital mixing console with it's large
input and output channel count, comprehensive processing, flexible expansion
options and intuitive user interface—all at a price point anyone can afford!
Compose. Record. Mix. Share.
- TRACKTION 4 puts the fun back into the creative process, so
we’re including it free of charge with select BEHRINGER products. This
powerful, yet easy-to-use music production software is unlike anything you’ve
seen before, putting everything you’ll need on your desktop, on a single-screen
– without the sea of drop down and hidden menus common to most other DAWs. And
TRACKTION doesn’t limit the number of tracks you can record, or the number of
effects you can use. In fact, the only limitation is your Mac or PC computer’s
processing power. Recording and editing couldn’t be easier; simply drag, drop,
cut, copy or paste.
