Digital Mixing Console Behringer X32 COMPACT

Behringer X32 COMPACT

With its legendary built-in X32 mixing engine, the Behringer X32 Compact can be your first-class studio interface: today for recording, tomorrow for controlling a complex theater production, or standing safely on the rack while you set up the sound for your band's club gig with an iPad. Revolutionary in its own right, the incredible X32 Compact combines excellent analog resolution and powerful digital connectivity with extensive processing capabilities for up to 40 channels, 25 buses, and up to 152 signal sources.

You can easily control every parameter of the mix directly on the X32 Compact using the built-in screen, but note the extreme flexibility of the network remote control - it literally opens up an amazing world of possibilities. Use our apps X32-EDIT PC/Mac/Linux app, X32-MIX for iPad, X32-Q for iPhone/iPod touch and X32-Q for Android to control the mix from anywhere in the hall. You can run multiple instances on different devices simultaneously, giving your performers the ability to mix their own monitors on the fly!

Thanks to its AES50 ports, the X32 Compact can support up to six stage boxes (such as the S16) for mass instrument connection. Extremely flexible routing options and 8 stereo FX buses make the X32 Compact the perfect choice for audio processing now and into the future – as your needs grow.

More possibilities

With the release of the new X32 firmware version 2.0, we have not only greatly improved the workflow, but also added all new features, including "Acoustic Integration" for complete connection and control of speaker and In-Ear Monitor (IEM) systems. We then completely reimagined over 50 onboard FX “Plug-Ins” and added classic “Natural Acoustic Integration”-based processor presets. We've also made the X32 even more flexible, with a swappable expansion board to connect to other multi-channel audio networks via USB, ADAT, MADI and Dante protocols, in addition to built-in Ultranet and AES50.

Intuitive. Instantaneous. Natural

The X32 Compact is your interface from mind to sound… The intersection of creativity and production. Whether you're new to digital mixers or not, the X32 Compact's intuitive interface ensures quick and easy mix setup.

Thoughtful ergonomics

The X32 Compact is equipped with a set of 17 100mm motorized servo faders to control the primary mix. Combined with LCD Scribble indicators and a TFT display, the faders keep you informed of all changes.

With the ability to store up to 100 scenes, the X32 Compact's motorized faders come to life as soon as you select the desired scene preset. The X32 Compact's 7-inch color TFT display displays the parameters you need when you need them. Chosen for its high contrast and visibility, TFT is ideal for concert and outdoor festival venues. There are high-precision, context-dependent tactile manipulators around the perimeter.

Convenient channel line

The X32 Compact's channel engineering solution puts the most important channel processing parameters into one section, so no matter which channel you're working on, the controls are always the same. This highly efficient layout stems from decades of Behringer console design and input from our users. Optimized control lighting provides a clear indication of levels or status from any viewing angle.

Illuminated rotary knobs and switches provide control over amp settings, cutoffs, dynamics section, as well as multi-mode fully parametric EQ, busses, main, mono and stereo panning.
