Behringer Digital Mixers

The Behringer X32 Digital Mixer is a 32 channel digital mixer that has 6 matrix buses. There are 16 outputs XLR (analog) and 2 phones connectors, with an added bonus of a talkback function built into it. this unit is great for a medium sized personal studio. You can even download an iPad app that will allow you to mix remotely without a host PC. This app is also free which is great because most apps like this cost money. UTILIZATION Setting it up is very simple, but understanding it could take a little time. It can be a bit overwhelming at first because the set up of it is different than a lot of other major mixers that I have used in the past. It does come with a manual that will help you with anything you need help with and Behringer also has excellent phone support that will walk you through something if you need help. SOUNDS The 7 inch color display is a great bonus on this unit, it would be nice to have a bigger built in screen considering the price of this unit. There are built in EQs and Processors on the X32, so you can get rid of some of the extra luggage that you might be toting around and just have the X32. OVERALL OPINION While using this mixer you will immediately notice that you are getting no latency from the inputs and outputs. You will have everything you need to have a solid and fluid workflow with this mixer. It even has 25 motorized faders and separate compressing for each channel. Working with this unit has become very easy over time. After I finally got the swing of it I was able to work quickly and do some very good mixing and recording with it. I do not recommend getting this unless you need this many inputs and outputs. Otherwise it will be a waste of money because it is not cheap.

The ddx digital mixer has all the standard studiotools on board, like channel delay, gate, compressor, effects, and even phase reverse. It's just a complete production package, can't think of something missing. the expansion slots give you the opportunity to hook up adat , tdif en aes-ebu equipment. In the near future , i'm going to install a adat board in the ddx and in my pc, so i can record up to 32 channels digital audio on my computer. Wow, at that price!! Price paid: 1399 euro UTILIZATION Not much has to be said here, very easy! I started without reading the manual. Offcourse, when you're a newbie in studioland, it's neccessary to read the manual. But hey, why should you buy such an advanced device then? SOUNDS Well, let's be honest, it's not a yamaha o2r96, but i'm not owning a 1 milion professional studio. For semi professional use, especialy when you won't make any acoustic recordings, it's perfect. I believe the pre amps, can be of better quality.But in my situation, only line gear is connected except for one condensor mic. And even that one sounds great! effects are pretty good, but i wont sell my lexicon! dynamics are a bit lame, better use the inserts to route them to youre analog compressor. But in most circumstances, they are pretty usefull. OVERALL OPINION The first range of analog behringer mixers were not that robust. but i have to say, this one is just as robust as e.g. the yamaha o1v, wich i recently laid my hands on for a mixjob. No negative comments here! i love it!!!! Because of it's price it's a perfect substitute for the more expensive mixers from e.g. yamaha. I own it just for a few days, but this is the best buy i made in years! Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Unknown (January 1-, 2003)
