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 oers a uid mixing experience
that instantly feels like home.
And then there is the X32’s latest version 2.0 rmware. We’ve added new scene management features
and EQ functions, including a 100-band Real Time Analyzer, exible 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.
This is the total solution you have been waiting for.
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.

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 oer channel/bus identication 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-y recognition of similar inputs.
Simple, elegant and eective – plus you’ll never need masking tape again.
Channel Strip
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.
This highly-ecient 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.
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
air festival venues. Flanked by high-precision, context-sensitive tactile encoders, the screen comes to
life and immediately reports in high denition all adjustments applied to a wide range of parameters.
Intelligent design puts control of vital functions such as Eects, Metering, Routing and much more
1 or 2 button presses away.

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 aecting 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.
DCA Groups
DCA (Digitally Controlled Amplier) 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 aects the FOH mix, while allowing the individual buses to remain unchanged.
The result is a customizable workow that provides maximum exibility, but still allows
individual buses and subgroups to serve the purpose they were intended for, such as zone sends,
broadcast feeds, etc.
View Function
Across the X32 you’ll nd 11 strategically placed View buttons associated with various functions.
These buttons enable immediate access to information about that specic 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 ne-tuning gives the engineer a level of control previously available only
on consoles costing exponentially more.

Assign Section
While some digital consoles oer a few user-denable 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 identication.
Buttons can be dened to toggle parameters on/o, adjust timing of eects by tapping, or jump to
specic screen views.
Rotary encoders with LED collars can be assigned to specic channel parameters, or to additional
parameters in the Dynamics section relevant to the current channel selection.

16 Breathtaking FX “Plug-Ins” Based on True Physical Modeling
We’ve added 16 new FX “Plug-Ins” to the X32, giving you access to a total of 50+ eects that would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars
in hardware.
This new generation of high-end FX “Plug-Ins” is based on True Physical Modeling of classic audio hardware. We essentially “rebuilt” classic analog
gear in the digital domain and included models of legendary processors such as Urei’s 1176*, Teletronix LA-2A* and Fairchild 670* compressors
as well as the legendary Pultec* EQP- 1a and EQ5 equalizers etc. We also added a cutting-edge 5-band multiband compressor.
Last but not least, the X32 can now run 4 studio-quality stereo reverbs together with 8 channels of 31-band graphic EQ. This allows you to replace
your old outboard gear with a fully recallable onboard solution.

Gain Splitting and Remote Control for FOH and Monitoring
A new Gain Split mode separates channel gain (trim) from the head amp gain, allowing both the FOH and/or the monitor engineer to adjust local
trim digitally – and independently of the preamp gain.
Additionally, the new HA Gain Remote option allows console gains to be remotely controlled by an external console, such as when using the
X32 RACK as a stage box.

More Routing and Processing Flexibility
The X32’s routing becomes even more exible with this recent rmware upgrade. Output signals and XLR outputs are now treated separately,
allowing signals from AES50 sources or expansion cards to be routed directly to the X32’s analog outputs.
For example, now you can use the outputs from an X32 RACK for directly routing back PA or monitoring signals from a main or FOH console.
New output tap points can be set as pre- or post-mute for greater usability with your P16 personal monitoring mixers. This is very useful in
situations where you don’t want mute groups to interrupt your signal ow.
