Intuitive, Immediate & Natural
The Behringer X32 Compact-TP is your mind-to-sound Interfacethe intersection of creativity and production. Whether you're accustomed to digital mixers or not, the X32 Compact-TP's intuitive user interface offers a fluid mixing experience that instantly feels like home. And then there is the X32 Compact-TP's latest version 2.0 firmware. The new scene management features and EQ functions, including a 100-band Real Time Analyzer, flexible library import/export capability and faster FX editing. It also included 16 new FX "Plug-Ins" which are based on True Physical Modeling of famous classic audio hardware. This process means that essentially "rebuilt" classic analog gear in the digital domain. And then added the most amazing digital networking that allows you to connect to the new Turbo Sound iQ speakers via simple CAT5 connection. This high-performance iQ Series also includes authentic acoustic modeling of some of the world's most famous speakers - all remote controllable from your X32 Compact-TP.

Motorized Faders
TheX32 Compact-TPserves the user a full complement of 25 long-throw, 100 mm motorized servo faders for primary mix control. Working in concert with the LCD Scribble Strips and TFT Display, the faders serve multiple functions while always keeping you informed. Separate fader sections for inputs and groups/buses allow for convenient assignments from inputs to groups/buses. With the ability to store up to 100 scenes, X32 Compact-TP's motorized faders jump to life the moment a scene is recalled.

LCD Scribble Strips
X32 Compact-TP's automated control surface is designed to present you with the control you need, when you need it. A total of 29 programmable LCD Scribble Strips offer channel/bus identification that mirrors what is being controlled. Use them to enter input/output tags, plus add icons you recognize at-a-glance. Then assign colors to create visual groups for immediate, on-the-fly recognition of similar inputs. Simple, elegant and effective - plus you'll never need masking tape again.

Channel Strip
TheX32 Compact-TPChannel Strip puts the most important channel processing parameters into one section so that no matter which channel you are working on, the controls are always the same. This highly-efficient layout stems from Behringer 's decades of console design and input from users. Optimized control illumination ensures a clear indication of levels or status from any viewing angle. Illuminated rotary encoders and switches give you control of preamp settings, frequency shelving, dual dynamics sections, as well as multi-mode fully parametric EQ, bus sends, main, mono and stereo panning.

7" Main Display
X32 Compact-TP's 7" day-viewable color TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) display shows the setting parameters you need when you need them. Selected for its high-contrast performance and outdoor visibility, TFT is ideal for concert and open air festival venues. Flanked by high-precision, context-sensitive tactile encoders, the screen comes to life and immediately reports in high definition all adjustments applied to a wide range of parameters. Intelligent design puts control of vital functions such as Effects, Metering, Routing and much more 1 or 2 button presses away.

Sends On Fader
X32 Compact-TP brings the convenience of digital mixing to your Aux and output bus mixes too, thanks to its integrated Sends on Fader feature. This incredible function allows you to build powerful, dedicated sub-mixes for monitor, secondary zone feeds and much more all without affecting the front of house mix or levels. TheX32 Compact-TPallows you to send your choice of signals to any Aux or output bus and then dial in the perfect mix via the channel faders. The console remembers where you set the faders and instantly recalls them when you select a bus for quick adjustments.

DCA Groups
DCA (Digitally Controlled Amplifier) groups allow control over several signals at once without actually mixing them into a subgroup bus. X32 Compact-TP's 8 DCA groups let you control multiple signals via a single fader, such as the entire drum mix, the horn section or the backup vocalists, etc. DCA control affects the FOH mix, while allowing the individual buses to remain unchanged. The result is a customizable workflow that provides maximum flexibility, but still allows individual buses and subgroups to serve the purpose they were intended for, such as zone sends, broadcast feeds, etc.

View Function
Across theX32 Compact-TP you'll find 11 strategically placed View buttons associated with various functions. These buttons enable immediate access to information about that specific function. For instance, if you press the View button in the Equalizer section, information for that channel's EQ is instantly shown on the main display, providing in-depth editing of all related parameters. This direct access to visual fine-tuning gives the engineer a level of control previously available only on consoles costing exponentially more.

Assign Section
While some digital consoles offer a few user-definable controls, X32 Compact-TP's Assign section sets a new standard by providing a total of 36 fully customizable controls on three separate layers. As with channels and buses, individual Scribble Strips are provided for immediate identification. Buttons can be defined to toggle parameters on/off, adjust timing of effects by tapping or jump to specific screen views. Rotary encoders with LED collars can be assigned to specific channel parameters or to additional parameters in the Dynamics section relevant to the current channel selection.

"Acoustic Integration" - the Live Sound Revolution
The X32 Compact-TP's ultranet bus allows streaming up to 16-channels of pristine digital audio to an array of Turbosound iQ speakers - all on a single CAT5 cable, along with control data to set sound presets remotely. Furthermore, the iQ Series features "True Physical Modeling" of some of the most popular speakers which can be easily remote controlled via the X32 Compact-TP, allowing the sound engineer to apply different speaker models in real time from the comfort of the mixing desk.
