    I'm very happy with it!

    Behringer X32 StandardPublished on 08/02/14 at 00:34
    You can find the features almost everywhere. It's not worth it to list them here again.

    Noteworthy: Since it's digital you can connect the console to "external devices" via CAT5 cables. Behringer has introduced an array of accessories to extend the I/Os, let the musician manage his mix directly and soon (in September 2014?) the ability to stream audio directly to digital loudspeakers (Turbosound, UK).

    (Balanced) XLR connectors almost exclusively. Buy a bunch of cables with the mixer, they will come in handy!

    Midas has launched a console with a very similar user interface, but it works at 96KHz, unlike the x32, which works at 48KHz, and with the corresponding price and support for p…

    (Balanced) XLR connectors almost exclusively. Buy a bunch of cables with the mixer, they will come in handy!

    Midas has launched a console with a very similar user interface, but it works at 96KHz, unlike the x32, which works at 48KHz, and with the corresponding price and support for professionals.

    UTILIZATION

    The manual leaves a lot to be desired, but the forums and the wiki available allow you to solve any situation.

    It's pretty intuitive to set up (easier than the Yamaha AW4416 that I used to have) and all functions have one-push access via the View buttons, which take you to the parameter pages in one click. It's pretty well thought-out.

    SOUNDS

    The A/D and D/A are up to market standards. No remarks in this regard. The Midas preamps are good, without too much noise.

    I think the preamps are more transparent than those on the Yamaha AW4416, which render a warmer sound. You can find the same sound with a couple of tweaks here and there.

    Good overall dynamics. Gate and compressor on each input, bus, output, etc. You can switch the dynamics pre- and post-processing.

    Good filters. The parametric EQs are effective. The possibility to manage directly the outputs on the console, like with a matrix, and using a 24db Butterworth filter is a great plus to filter the outputs towards the subs and line arrays.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I'm very happy with it. A real step-up in relation to the Yamaha AW4416, which was getting outdated.
    The X32 allows you to record the mix directly on a USB stick, as well as record/play back 32 channels on a PC via a USB/ASIO interface, and it works great!
    The USB stick allows you to save your setup, which is very useful when you do the same venue again or to recall the parameters of a mix without starting from scratch. It has utilities that allow you to set it up offline on a PC, which is nice.

    I bought the console and a flight case with casters (it's approximately 90lbs altogether) and plexiglass protection cover (Decksaver) for less than $3250). Excellent value for money.

    THE MEGA + it has a sound card "built in" 32in/32out for - among other things - with a lap top to record live and do VIRTUAL SOUND CHEK (before this option only on tables that Vallent of tens of thousands euros) super simple way! You roads your recorded tracks to every, one is digital and you show mixes the "way live" on the console ... Huuuuge ...


    UTILIZATION

    Getting Started: 22 seconds to know that digital tables
    Supports multiple i-pad and i-phone (via a standard wireless router not included) where yamaha not tolerated by a console!

    Almost useless manual ... anyway there's not half the functions referenced ... go to the manufacturers forums! them very useful!

    Arriving on Thursday, Friday in the studio with ... Live on Saturday ... go go go! it works ... to 7x cheaper than CL5 (config ° to nearly € 20,000 for the number of votes, and 8in/8out stand alone ... ouch because RIO - Yamaha box internship requirements are not ... our X32!)

    Super ergonomic work
    More "console tape" grace the screens led by voice, but hey, I think the colors choisirs for these screens a bit "girly" :-) see downright kitsch ... but effective way to navigate his small ...

    SOUNDS

    Midas preamp that make taf ... do not expect to pure American killing either :-) it should not be their high end (sic)

    Klark converter Technics ... transparent? yes

    Dynamics and transparency are there ... EQ and much more effective than the M7CL, by far! (Not hard)
    Briefly, it works what!

    Nice reverb ... really, for this price, it's amazing though!

    A default setting of the gates ... blah blah

    A great plus: the number of EQ band 4 + a low and hight cut! yes, 6 bands true increments :-) fully parametric ... awesome


    OVERALL OPINION

    acquired 3 months ago, already almost damped!

    FAILURE compared to traditional yamaha: not possible here to assign A physical input to another slice, it must be done in groups of 8 slices ... good, need to think before what ... I used to do that when a portion of the multicore is dead, it is easy to reassign digitally Yamaha. There, it will clearly miss if "panic on the patch and is in a rush"

    Another defect is that the gates are so-so less ... Now, Me, I'm using it as little as possible of the gates, so it's not a problem ... metaleux friends, think still to this concern.

    A final flaw is that it is (for now) not to make a multitrack recording POST treatment (eq / dyn / fader / etc.) Mulitipiste rec is the only "PRE everything" ... can not choose ... damage to my taste, but it is true that it also avoids anneries rec :-) The right / left on USB memory (please wave) is "post" if it is assigned as a source the right / left the master ... it compensates.

    The top, so this is the "mix out the box" that allows the famous virtual sound check and mix lives ... um, like live on the console, but after and quiet at home ... remaining in the digital domain! Then, export the left right, a small master, and hop a live 2h mixed "live" in less than 3 hours ...

    Shame not to "chained together" inserts for the same bus if I want to put on my master fx 2 (UNEQ stereo and a compressor for example) is not currently poss ... to see if it evolves. I hope! But hey, memory is not poss not on M7CL (which I invite you to review the price too! Ah ah)

    BUT ALL this is NOTHING near the quality / functionality / price ratio and, uh, this X32 SOUND! For me, it is a revolution in the way I manage my investments. Given the rapid depreciation due to its low cost, I'm already pretty sure to buy one in 3 years ... and so on, just to stay "lifetime" warranty, since it seems the weak point would be (will be) the reliability ... I expect to see then!

    Firmeware updated often ... and some rumors about the "remote" option of your favorite audio sequencer software that rise from 8 to voice control -> all console control surface! to see ... it would be great (because the remote although functional option is quite limited for my taste)

    BRIEF A PURCHASE I would do 10x

    Behringer hits hard, and just changing range ... and résoluement target .. finished stews copy makie who went Lollipop after 10 uses and do not sonniaent caramel!
    I have always claimed: do not buy this brand product ... I always proclaims, EXCEPT for their X32 range and all their affiliates solutions (rack, or stage boxes, system personal feedback I'm looking forward to testing etc..) I am amazed.

    For the moment, the manual down to 5 pages of a quick start guide! And curiously, there comes very well without it! Although the discovery functions like press two buttons for selecting the 5 and 6 for ... makes waiting for a true manual a bit painful.

    SOUNDS

    They seem good quality, designed by Midas, and very good by the standards of all testers net.
    The effects and filters are effective?
    In good order.
