Included Software

X32 Awarded 2013 MIPA Award for Best Mixing Desk (Live)!

Ever since the "dawn of digital" audio engineers
the world over have had a love-hate relationship with their consoles. The new
BEHRINGER X32 digital mixing console lets you focus on your event, instead of
navigating a vast sea of knobs, buttons and menus like most other live digital
mixers. X32 is intuitive and powerful with 40 processing channels and 25 mix
buses, all equipped with serious signal processing (dynamics, EQ and inserts),
which can be configured quickly to meet the demands of virtually any gig, large
or small.

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 128x64
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 CAT5 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 6 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, 800x480 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...

The Future is Here—Now!

X32 ships with the insanely powerful XUF FireWire/USB audio
interface card pre-installed in the expansion slot right out-of-the-box! XUF
provides lowlatency 24-bit audio interfacing with Mac or PC host computers in
the form of 32 In x 32 Out channels and MIDI. It even transmits HUI and Mackie
Control data along with the audio I/O, which provides convenient remote control
of your DAW via the X32 group fader section controls. XUF is compatible with
CoreAudio on Mac OS 10.5 and above, and high-performance ASIO drivers for
Windows PC are downloadable from behringer.com.
