Product Overview continued
The X32 is thefully-integrated centerpiece of BEHRINGER's
digital mixing, audio networking and processing
ecosystem. It combines acontrol surface with streamlined
workflow,extensive I/O and signal processing into a
compact desktop form factor. Employing motorized faders
and rotary encoders along with a daylight-viewable TFT
screen, the control surface is designed to allow immediate
access to critical functions with total and automatic recall
of settings.Extensive on-board I/O includes 40 A/D and
24 D/A Cirrus Logic converters, 96 bidirectional channels
over SuperMAC AES50, stereo AES/EBU out, 16 channels
of BEHRINGER's Ultranet personal monitoring and 3232
channels for recording over Firewire or USB.

A customassignablesection allows certain control

functions to be mapped directly toa set ofdedicated
knobs and buttons.
A main 7"-wide, high-contrast color display provides
information forediting pertinent parameters of the
active function or effect. Relevant parameters are
quickly recalled to the display for editing via view
buttonsin each sub-section. Each channel also features
a small, customizable LCD screen for track name,
number,colorand sourcegraphic.
A virtual FX rack offers 8 true-stereo (16 mono) multieffects processors, with 37 FX modelsthat eliminate
the need for any additional outboard gear. 4 highquality effects such as delay, chorus and reverb
can run concurrently with 8 channels of 31-band
graphicequalization.

Abundantanalogconnectivity is provided via 32 digitally

controllable microphone preampsdesigned by MIDAS,
6 line-level auxiliary inputs and outputs, 16 XLR outputs,
stereo monitoring outs on XLR/TRS and dual phones
outputs. Each of the 32 microphone inputs can accept
balanced or unbalanced micor line-level level signals and
include switchable phantom power, 72 dB gain range and
max +23 dBu level before clip. A separate external mic
input and the internal talkback mic allow communication
to various destinations.

The built-in XUF USB 2.0/FireWire 400 interface card

enables streaming of up to 32 tracks to and from a
computer for recording, mixingand masteringpurposes.
The X32 integrates seamlessly withother X32 consoles,
the S16 digital stage box and the P-16 personal monitoring
system for complete live, studioand installed sound
solutions. Control the mixer from a distance with the free
iPad app or with editingand remote controlsoftware
connected via Ethernet. The X32'seaseof use,
intuitiveworkflow, diverse feature set and integration
with other equipment make it an ideal centerpiece for
installedand productionsound in any setting.

Dual AES50 Ethernet jacks that employ KLARK TEKNIK

SuperMACtechnologycontribute 9696 signals to the
total count of 168168 accessible sources and destinations.
Motorized faders, recallable mic preamps,programmable
routingand the ability to save and recall entire scenes
make set or program changes quick and simple.A top
panel USB connector enables system data to be stored
or a board mix to be recorded directly to external flash or
harddrives.
The Input section is home for 16 high-resolution 100 mm
motorized faders, providing control over channels 1-16,
17-32, Aux inputs / USB playback / FXreturns. Aseparate
section of 8 motorized faders controls DCA groups 1-8, bus
masters 1-8 and 9-16 as well as matrices 1-6. Themaster
X-channel section allows instantediting of the currently
selected channel's gain, dynamics, EQand other functions.
