Full Description

Advanced audio engineering
The X32 COMPACT is designed with 16 MIDAS-designed preamps that bring clarity and fidelity to your audio. These world-renowned preamps ensure that every detail of your sound is captured and delivered with precision. Coupled with the console’s 40-input capability, this mixer is perfect for managing multiple audio sources in live or studio settings.

Dynamic control integration
Control is at your fingertips with 17 fully motorized faders that provide real-time adjustment and automation of audio levels. Each fader is paired with an LCD Scribble Strip, which offers clear labeling of the channels and parameters being adjusted, enhancing workflow efficiency during live performances or studio sessions.

Seamless connectivity and expansion
Featuring dual AES50 network ports, the X32 COMPACT can connect with up to six S16 digital stage boxes, expanding its I/O capability to 48 inputs and outputs. This extensive connectivity is ideal for larger setups requiring extensive microphone and instrument setups. The mixer’s ULTRANET port also provides direct connections to P16 personal monitoring mixers, simplifying onstage monitoring setups without the need for additional hardware.

Comprehensive processing and flexibility
Equipped with 8 powerful stereo FX engines and more than 50 onboard effects plug-ins, the X32 COMPACT allows for in-depth sound sculpting and processing. The console supports extensive routing options to cater to various audio applications, from live performances to intricate theatre productions.

User-centric design for immediate operation
The X32 COMPACT is designed for intuitive use, regardless of your experience level with digital mixers. The interface is centered around a bright, high-resolution 7-inch TFT display, providing access to critical settings and parameters. The mixer’s layout is engineered to facilitate a natural workflow, allowing sound engineers to interact with the console swiftly and effectively.

Remote control and networking capabilities
Flexibility extends to control options, with support for Behringer’s X32-EDIT, X32-MIX, and X32-Q apps, which allow users to adjust mixes remotely from PCs, iPads, or smartphones. These features are invaluable in adjusting the house mix from any location in the venue or tweaking monitor mixes from the stage.
