Game Changed
X32 changes the game by completely rethinking what is possible in a digital mixer. 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.
What makes the X32 possible is – everything. BEHRINGER’s experience spans 11 million mixers already in users’ hands. We have delivered over 4 million DSP-based processors. Our vertically integrated factory
produces over 5 million Pro Audio products a year with quality and reliability numbers that lead the industry. Nearly 25 years of relentless research, development with 250 of the world’s best engineers plus complete control over the manufacturing process is what powers the X32.
Above all, X32 is designed to put the power of digital in your hands, without compromise. BEHRINGER’s singular focus on a matchless value proposition means X32 integrates advanced features such as motorized faders, LCD scribble strips, integrated personal monitor mixing and true high-speed digital audio networking as standard features.
You win.

Intuitive. Immediate. Natural.
X32 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. From the first moments of use, the workflow unfolds in a way that strips away obstacles, distractions, and hesitation.
ELEMENTS OF FLOW
LCD Scribble Strips
X32’s automated control surface is designed to present you with the control you need, when you need it. A total of 29 programmable LCD Scribble Strips offer channel/bus identification that mirrors what is being controlled. Use them to enter input/output tags, plus add icons you recognize at-a-glance. Then assign colors to create visual groups for immediate, on-the-fly recognition of similar inputs. Simple, elegant and effective – plus you’ll never need masking tape again.
View Function
Across the X32 you’ll find 11 strategically placed View buttons associated with various functions. These buttons enable immediate access to information about that specific function.
For instance, if you press the View button in the Equalizer section, information for that channel’s EQ is instantly shown on the main display,
providing in-depth editing of all related parameters. This direct access to visual fine-tuning gives the engineer a level of control previously available only on consoles costing exponentially more.
7" Main Display
X32’s 7" day-viewable color TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) display shows the setting parameters you need when you need them. Selected for its high-contrast performance and outdoor visibility, TFT is ideal for concert and open festival venues. Flanked by high-precision, context-sensitive tactile encoders, the screen comes to life and immediately reports in high definition all adjustments applied to a wide range of parameters. Intelligent design puts control over vital functions such as Effects, Metering, Routing and much more just 1 or 2 button presses away.

DCA Groups
DCA (Digitally Controlled Amplifier) groups allow control over several signals at once without actually mixing them into a subgroup bus. X32’s 8 DCA groups let you control multiple signals via a single fader, such as the entire drum mix, the horn section, or the backup vocalists, etc. DCA control affects the FOH mix, while allowing the individual buses to remain unchanged. The result is a customizable
workflow that provides maximum flexibility, but still allows individual buses and subgroups to serve
the purpose they were intended for, such as zone sends, broadcast feeds, etc.
Sends On Fader
X32 brings the convenience of digital mixing to your Aux and output bus mixes too, thanks to its integrated Sends on Fader feature. This incredible function allows you to build powerful, dedicated sub-mixes for monitor, secondary zone feeds, and much more—all without affecting the front of house mix or levels. The X32 allows you to send your choice of signals to any Aux or output bus and then dial in the perfect mix via the channel faders. The console remembers where you set the faders and instantly recalls them when you select a bus for quick adjustments.
Assign Section
While some digital consoles offer a few userdefinable controls, X32’s Assign section sets a new standard by providing a total of 36 fully
customizable controls on three separate layers. As with channels and buses, individual Scribble Strips are provided for immediate identification. Buttons can be defined to toggle parameters on/off, adjust timing of effects by tapping, or jump to specific screen views. Rotary encoders with LED collars can be assigned to specific channel parameters, or to additional parameters in
the Dynamics section relevant to the current channel selection.

Motorized Faders
X32 serves the user a full complement of 25 long-throw, 100 mm motorized servo faders for primary mix control. Working in concert with the LCD Scribble Strips and TFT Display, the faders serve multiple functions while always keeping you
informed. Separate fader sections for inputs and groups/buses allow for convenient assignments from inputs to groups/buses. With the ability to store up to 100 scenes, X32’s motorized faders jump to life the moment a scene is recalled.

Channel Strip
All within reach. The design philosophy behind the X32.
Demanding mixes require focus and agility. Searching for the right control or adjustment parameter slows you down. The X32 channel strip puts the most important channel processing parameters into one section so that no matter which channel you are working on, the controls are always the same. Keeping these critical functions in one section keeps your eyes and hands focused, allowing a simple ergonomic motion as you adjust the channels and dial in the perfect mix. This highly-efficient layout stems from BEHRINGER’s decades of console design and input from our users. Optimized control illumination ensures a clear indication of levels or status from any viewing angle. Illuminated rotary encoders and switches give you control of preamp settings, frequency shelving, dual dynamics sections, as well as multi-mode fully parametric EQ, bus sends, main, mono and stereo panning.

We Are Family
Three companies sharing a common vision – to engineer and build the very best sounding, technically advanced audio products for discerning professionals. Bringing together the engineering, manufacturing and application expertise of legendary console manufacturer MIDAS and iconic signal processing experts from KLARK TEKNIK, combined with BEHRINGER’s unique ability to deliver a superior value proposition is the secret behind the X32.
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.
