The Midas M32C is a compact, rack-mount digital mixing console that delivers the core audio processing and routing capabilities of the popular M32 live sound series in a space-saving 5U format. It provides 40 fully processed input channels, 25 mix buses, and operates at a 96 kHz sampling rate, offering professional-grade sound quality and flexibility for a wide range of applications. Designed for installations, broadcast, and mobile setups where space is at a premium, the M32C contains the same essential digital engine and effects as its larger console siblings but is controlled entirely via an external computer running dedicated editing software or through an optional hardware remote controller. This makes it an ideal "mix engine" for permanent installations in houses of worship, theaters, conference centers, or broadcast trucks, as well as a powerful front-of-house or monitor brain for touring acts using iPad control.

At the heart of the M32C is the same signal processing that defines the M32 series, including Midas-designed, fully discrete microphone preamplifiers (when used with compatible stage boxes), 8 stereo effects processors, 8-channel DCA groups, and 8 mute groups. The unit offers extensive connectivity with onboard local analog I/O and, more significantly, digital audio network ports for connecting to Midas DL Series or other AES50-compatible remote stage boxes. This allows the mixer to be placed virtually anywhere, with all microphone preamp control and audio routing managed remotely. For user interface, it relies on the "Mixing Station" app for tablets or the "M32-Edit" software for Mac/PC, providing a comprehensive graphical interface for mixing, routing, and system configuration.

Built into a robust rack-mountable steel chassis, the M32C is designed for reliable, continuous operation. Its rear panel includes a comprehensive array of connections: analog inputs and outputs, AES/EBU digital I/O, MIDI, word clock, and the critical AES50 ports for digital snake connectivity. By consolidating the power of a full-scale digital console into a rack-mounted unit without a built-in control surface, the Midas M32C provides system designers and engineers with a highly capable, sonically transparent, and incredibly flexible audio processing core that can be controlled from anywhere, making it a cornerstone for modern, streamlined audio systems.
