X32 RACK

40-Input, 25-Bus Digital Rack Mixer with 16 Programmable MIDAS Preamps, USB Audio Interface and iPad/iPhone* Remote Control

The X32 Rack from Behringer is a 40-channel, 25-bus digital mixer housed within a 3U chassis for live and installed sound applications. It features 16 programmable MIDAS microphone preamps, 8 XLR outputs, and 6 Aux inputs and outputs. The X32 Rack incorporates a high-resolution 5″ day-viewable Color TFT display for front-panel menu access. Its dual AES50 ports feature Klark Teknik’s SuperMAC networking capability for ultra-low jitter and latency. The X32 Rack also features an expansion port that comes filled with a 32 x 32 channel USB 2.0 audio interface card, allowing you to record directly to a computer with zero-latency monitoring.

The X32 Rack has studio-friendly analog appointments, including a dedicated talkback mic input, a pair of 1/4″ TRS monitoring outputs, and a headphone output. It also has a MIDI input and output. In addition to its AES50 ports, the X32 has an Ultranet RJ45 output for connection to P16 personal monitor mixer (sold separately.) A networked remote control connection is available, via Ethernet, for show setups with on-screen software editors.

Internally, the X32’s 40-bit floating-point DSP processes its main LCR channels, 6 matrix buses and all 16 mix buses featuring inserts, 6-band parametric EQs and full dynamics processing, plus 8 DCA and 6 mute groups. It features powerful scene management capable of handling and recalling complex productions. A front-panel USB type-A port provides preset storage, system updates, and uncompressed stereo recordings. Additionally, the Virtual FX rack contains 8 true-stereo effects, featuring high-end simulations such as Lexicon 480L and PCM70, EMT250 and Quantec QRS.

Behringer iPad and iPhone apps for professional remote operation are free downloads on the Apple App Store. All of the X32’s features can be managed concurrently from various locations and instances of the XiQ, XiControl, and XControl apps.

The front panel of the X32 Rack has a Color TFT display with 10 buttons and 6 encoders, allowing quick manipulation of mix parameters on the fly.

The X32 Rack can act as the nucleus of a flexible and expandable audio system, allowing connection of Behringer’s S16 digital snake and P16 personal monitoring system (sold separately.) The built-in 32 x 32 USB recording interface, 8 stereo effects engines, zero-latency monitoring and 100% total recall deliver the tools to handle a wide variety of projects.

X32 RACK

Thanks to its legendary onboard X32 mix engine, the X32 RACK can be your top-notch studio recording interface today, control a complex theater production tomorrow, or sit securely in your side-rack while you mix your band’s club gig from your iPad. A revolution in its own right, the incredible X32 RACK combines the finest analog I/O and powerful digital connectivity with ample processing for 40 channels, 25 buses and up to 152 signal sources.

 

You can easily control every parameter of the mix directly on the X32 RACK using the 800 x 480 graphic UI, but the awesome flexibility of networked remote control literally opens up an amazing world of possibilities. Use our X32-EDIT PC/Mac/Linux application, X32-MIX for iPad, X32-Q for iPhone/iPod touch and X32-Q for Android to control the mix from anywhere in the room. You can even run multiple instances of these powerful apps at the same time, giving your performers the ability to mix their own personal monitors on-the-fly!

 

With its 16 MIDAS-design mic preamps and dual AES50 ports, the X32 RACK can support up to six S16 digital stage boxes for massive I/O connectivity. Ultra-flexible routing options and 8 powerful stereo FX engines make the X32 RACK the ideal choice for handling audio now – and as your needs grow.

Game 2.0 Reloaded

The BEHRINGER X32 has changed the game by completely rethinking what is possible from a digital mixer – and hundreds of thousands of users are enjoying the results. A fluid workflow coupled with a fully interactive user interface ensures immediate familiarity and instills confidence. Advanced engineering and meticulous design deliver stellar sonic performance at an extremely affordable price – changing the game entirely.

 Three companies shared a common vision – to engineer and build the very best-sounding, technically-advanced audio products for discerning professionals. The X32 Digital Mixer family is the result of the engineering, manufacturing and application expertise of legendary console manufacturer MIDAS, the iconic signal processing genius of KLARK TEKNIK and BEHRINGER’s unique ability to deliver a superior value proposition.
 

The synergy between these three great companies runs deep in the X32. From the pristine, MIDAS-designed mic preamps to KLARK TEKNIK’s rock-solid, ultra-low latency SuperMAC networking technology and BEHRINGER’s completely re-engineered processing algorithms, X32 raises the bar on what a digital mixer can be. A singular passion for delivering advanced technology, unrivalled usability and true road-worthiness has enabled us to engineer a digital console that is the ideal vehicle for your creative expression. But we’re just getting started!

Enhanced Workflow & Multi-Channel Networking

With the introduction of our new X32 version 2.0 firmware, we have not only dramatically enhanced the workflow, but also added all-new capabilities including “Acoustic Integration” for total connectivity and control of your speaker and In-Ear Monitor (IEM) systems. Then we completely re-imagined the more than 50 onboard FX “Plug-Ins” and added classic processor examples based on “True Physical Modelling”. We’ve also made the X32 even more flexible, with swappable expansion cards for connecting to other multi-channel audio networking via USB, ADAT, MADI and Dante protocols, in addition to the onboard ULTRANET and AES50 connectivity. Above all, the X32 puts the power of digital in your hands – without compromise.

You Win.

Intuitive. Immediate. Natural.

X32 RACK is your mind-to-sound interface… the intersection of creativity and production. Whether you’re accustomed to digital mixers or not, the X32’s intuitive user interface offers a fluid mixing experience that instantly feels like home.

 And then there is the X32’s latest version 2.0 firmware. We’ve added new scene management features and EQ functions, including a 100-band Real Time Analyzer, flexible library import/export capability and faster FX editing.
 

We also included 16 new FX “Plug-Ins” which are based on True Physical Modeling of famous classic audio hardware. This process means that we essentially “rebuilt” classic analog gear in the digital domain.

 And then we added the most amazing digital networking that allows you to connect to the new TURBOSOUND iQ speakers via simple CAT5 connection. We call it “Acoustic Integration”.
 

This high-performance iQ Series also includes authentic acoustic modeling of some of the world’s most famous speakers – all remote controllable from your X32 RACK.

 This is the total solution you have been waiting for.
