Game 2.0 Reloaded
The Behringer X32 has changed the game by completely rethinking what is possible from a digital mixer - and tens of thousands of new users are enjoying the results. The X32 Digital Mixer family is the result of the engineering, manufacturing and application expertise of legendary console manufacturer MIDAS, the iconic signal processing genius of KLARK TEKNIK and Behringer's unique ability to deliver a superior value proposition.

The synergy between these three great companies runs deep in the X32. From the pristine, MIDAS-designed mic preamps to KLARK TEKNIK's rock-solid, ultra-low latency SuperMAC networking technology and Behringer's completely re-engineered processing algorithms, X32 raises the bar on what a digital mixer can be.

Intuitive. Immediate. Natural
X32 is your mind-to-sound interface the intersection of creativity and production. Whether you're accustomed to digital mixers or not, the X32's intuitive user interface offers a fluid mixing experience that instantly feels like home. And then there is the X32's latest version 2.0 firmware. They have added new scene management features and EQ functions, including a 100-band Real Time Analyzer, flexible library import/export capability and faster FX editing. They also included 16 new FX "Plug-Ins" which is based on True Physical Modeling of famous classic audio hardware. And then added the most amazing digital networking that allows you to connect to the new TURBOSOUND is speakers via simple CAT5 connection.

Motorized Faders
X32 serves the user a full complement of 25 long-throws, 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.

LCD Scribble Strips
X32'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.

Channel Strip
The X32 Channel 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 the users. Optimized control illumination ensures a clear indication of levels or status from any viewing angle.

7" Main Display
X32'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.

Sends On Fader
X32 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. The X32 allows you to send your choice of signals to any Aux or output bus and then dial in the perfect mix via the channel faders.

DCA Groups
DCA (Digitally Controlled Amplifier) groups allow control over several signals at once without actually mixing them into a subgroup bus. X32'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 the X32 you'll find 11 strategically placed View buttons associated with various functions. These buttons enable immediate access to information about that specific function.

Assign Section
While some digital consoles offer a few user-definable controls, X32'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
Legendary 40-year old British company TURBOSOUND, famous for producing some of the world's best speaker systems, have teamed up with Behringer to seamlessly integrate mixer and speaker systems. It is called "Acoustic Integration". The X32'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.

100-Band RTA for all Channel/Bus EQ's
The X32 now includes a high-resolution 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA), with full Bar and Spectrograph views. This high-resolution RTA displays the audio energy distribution in 100 frequency bands over time capturing a sonogram window of a full 10 seconds. Switch between the Large RTA view, displaying any available signal in full screen resolution and the Combined view with the RTA view shown above each of the channel and bus EQ curves.

16 Breathtaking FX "Plug-Ins" Based on True Physical Modeling
They have added 16 new FX "Plug-Ins" to the X32, giving you access to a total of 50+ effects that would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars in hardware. This new generation of high-end FX "Plug-Ins" is based on True Physical Modeling of classic audio hardware. It essentially "rebuilt" classic analog gear in the digital domain and included models of legendary processors such as Urei's 1176, Teletronix LA-2A and Fairchild 670 compressors as well as the legendary Pultec EQP-1a and EQ5 equalizers etc. Its also added a cutting-edge 5-band multiband compressor.

Gain Splitting and Remote Control for FOH and Monitoring
A new Gain Split mode separates channel gain (trim) from the head amp gain, allowing both the FOH and/or the monitor engineer to adjust local trim digitally - and independently of the preamp gain. Additionally, the new HA Gain Remote option allows console gains to be remotely controlled by an external console, such as when using the X32 RACK as a stage box.

More Routing and Processing Flexibility
The X32's routing becomes even more flexible with this recent firmware upgrade. Output signals and XLR outputs are now treated separately, allowing signals from AES50 sources or expansion cards to be routed directly to the X32's analog outputs.

Ready for the Road
The award-winning X32 Digital Mixer that changed the industry - is expanding its family, as it continues its evolution. They have now added Touring Packages (TP) for the X32, X32 PRODUCER and X32 PRODUCER. These road-ready packages include mixers preloaded in heavy-duty, touring-grade road cases, custom-designed to protect its precious cargo. The durable housing features marine-grade plywood swathed in rubberized plastic laminate to protect the mixer from the elements and rigors of travel. The exterior is reinforced with impact-resistant aluminum extrusions and all latches are recessed to respect your touring crew's hands and clothes during transport. The interior swaddles the mixer in high-density, protective foam.

MIDAS The Golden Preamp
X32's input topology - mic preamps, programmable gain controls and A/D stages were designed by a dedicated engineering team at MIDAS, the company famous for their award-winning mic preamplifier designs. Conceived as a single, cohesive system and built around premium A/D converters, this proprietary preamp design captures every nuance of your input signal - ensuring superb sonic performance.
