About the Behringer X32 40-channel Digital Mixer
The Behringer X32 is a landmark digital mixing console that revolutionized the live sound and installed audio markets by offering professional-grade features, sound quality, and reliability at an unprecedented price point. It is a fully digital, 40-channel mixing console with 25 motorized faders, a high-resolution color touchscreen, and a comprehensive I/O system centered around a built-in 32x16 digital snake. The console utilizes state-of-the-art 32-bit floating point digital signal processing (DSP) and high-quality analog-to-digital converters to deliver pristine audio quality with ample headroom. Its channel strip includes a full complement of professional processing: 4-band parametric EQ with high and low-pass filters, a compressor/gate, and flexible routing on every input, allowing engineers to achieve a polished, controlled mix.
A core strength of the X32 platform is its modularity and expandability. The console serves as the hub of an ecosystem that includes digital stage boxes (S16, S32) for remote mic preamp placement, personal monitor mixing systems (P16), and a robust iPad/Android app for wireless remote control. It features 8 configurable DCAs, 8 mute groups, 6 parametric GEQs, and 8 fully-featured FX processors with studio-grade emulations of classic reverbs, delays, and modulation effects. The console's scene and snippet recall system enables rapid setup and changeovers between acts or events, storing all parameters including fader positions.
Built into a rugged, road-worthy chassis with a steel frame, the X32 is designed for the rigors of touring while being equally suited for permanent installation in churches, theaters, and clubs. Its intuitive workflow, combined with deep feature sets previously found only on consoles costing many times more, made professional digital mixing accessible to a vast new audience. The Behringer X32 is widely credited with setting a new standard in its class, providing a complete, scalable, and sonically capable mixing solution that has become a ubiquitous workhorse across all levels of the audio industry.
