Behringer X32 32 Channel Digital Mixer - Secondhand

Full Description

Quality in build and sound

The X32 is a powerhouse that features 32 MIDAS-designed mic preamps that ensure premium sound quality and reliability. These preamps, known for their superb clarity and dynamic range, are complemented by 25 fully motorized faders that provide precise control and automation of levels during live situations or recording sessions.

Advanced interface and control

This mixer introduces an intuitive layout with a 7-inch colour TFT display that offers clear visualisation of operations and settings. The tactile feel of the console is enhanced by illuminated rotary encoders and switches, allowing quick adjustments and configurations. The dedicated channel strip section ensures that essential processing tools for each channel are always within reach, streamlining workflow and boosting productivity.

Comprehensive connectivity

With its vast array of inputs and outputs, including USB, ADAT, MADI, and Dante, the X32 allows seamless integration with virtually any audio network. This flexibility is further enhanced by the Ultranet connectivity, enabling direct linkage to Behringer's P16 Personal Monitoring System, Turbosound speaker systems, and other network devices without the need for additional hardware.

Cutting-edge firmware and processing

The X32’s firmware version 2.0 expands its functionality by introducing new processing capabilities like True Physical Modelling of classic audio processors and enhanced scene management features. These improvements allow users to emulate legendary hardware units digitally, adding depth and character to mixes. This mixer also includes a sophisticated 100-band Real Time Analyzer on each channel, ensuring optimal EQ adjustments for unparalleled sound quality. Then, designed in collaboration with speaker brand Turbosound, the X32 features a unique "Acoustic Integration" system which allows 16 channels of direct audio streaming to Turbosound iQ-series speakers over a Cat5 Ethernet cable, as well as speaker modelling presets to customise your sound output.

Scalable and versatile

Designed to adapt to various audio tasks, from live sound reinforcement to sophisticated recording setups, the X32 includes features like DCA groups, which simplify management of complex mixes by grouping multiple inputs under a single fader. This capability is crucial for handling large-scale productions efficiently. The mixer’s expansion slot further extends its versatility, supporting optional cards for additional digital connectivity based on specific user needs or venue requirements.

Durable and road-ready

Reflecting Behringer’s commitment to quality, the X32 is built to withstand the rigors of touring and continuous use. The console’s robust construction includes a rugged steel chassis and high-quality components, ensuring it holds up under demanding conditions while delivering consistent performance night after night.
