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 o ers 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.
With the ability to store up to 100 scenes, X32’s motorized faders jump to life the moment a
scene is recalled.

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 o er channel/bus identi cation 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 e ective – 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-e cient 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 de nition all adjustments applied to a wide range of parameters.
Intelligent design puts control of vital functions such as E ects, 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 a ecting 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 Ampli er) 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 a ects the FOH mix, while allowing the individual buses to remain unchanged.
The result is a customizable work ow 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 speci c 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.

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.

Mighty New Tools for Scene and Show Management
Introducing the Cue List, an innovative way to automate the loading of scenes and new “Snippets” at di erent points during a show.
Each of the 500 Cue entries can load any of the 100 Scenes or Snippets separately or at the same time. This gives you an amazing total of
500 Cues x 100 Scenes x 100 Snippets!
For example, store your favorite EQ settings for drums on channels 1-8 as a Snippet, recallable in an instant as its own preset, completely
independent of the console’s overall scene. It’s like taking a snapshot of a parameter on an input, return, FX slot, bus, Matrix, Main or DCA group
– and saving it for quick access whenever you need it.

We analyzed this classic to the core and created an exact physical model that reproduces the multi-faceted sound in painstaking detail.
Even the transformers and tube output stage have been faithfully modeled! (Inspired by Pultec EQP-1a*)
Pultec simply wrote the book on passive equalization. By digitally “rebuilding” every aspect of the original Pultec classic, we captured the very
essence in our parametric equalizer XTEC EQ5. Our digital re-incarnation is based on the original model and authentically emulates the smooth
character of the its rather unique components. (Inspired by Pultec MEQ5*)

Our TruEQ STEREO GEQ delivers musical and responsive signal processing—perfect for general room equalization, indispensable for monitoring.
X32 provides up to 16 mono graphic EQs, in addition to the multi-band parametric EQs in all channels and buses, to cope with the most
demanding stage monitoring situation.
Plus, the X32’s motorized faders can be switched to control the lter bands of the graphic EQ, with the channel LCDs showing the corresponding
lter frequencies—and you can even put this on a user de ned hot-key for immediate access. (Modeled after KLARK TEKNIK DN360)
VINTAGE ROOM stands out head and shoulders over other competing reverberation strategies in the way it models sound propagation in air
and room resonances. Invented in the early ‘80s, the role model delivered authentic room character from an algorithmic reverb long before
convolution-based processing was available. It is an ideal reverb for mixes or sub-groups, as it adds space to complex signals—highly valued in
classical music and broadcasting environments. (Inspired by Quantec QRS*)

PLATE REVERB emulates the characteristics of a plate reverb chamber with control over the damping pad, modulation depth and speed,
and crossover. PLATE REVERB will give your tracks the sound heard on countless hit records since the late 1950’s. (Inspired by Lexicon PCM70*)
The 3-TAP DELAY in the X32 records the input signal and then echoes it back after a user-de nable period of time and number of repeats.
What makes the stereo and triple delay useful and outstanding is the linked tap-timing and musical choice of echo patterns.
Use the 3-TAP DELAY to fatten up vocals and instruments, or to add an enhanced spatial element to any performance.
The HALL REVERB e ect provides a broad spectrum of reverberation possibilities, from small room to large, or even cavernous proportions.
When softly mixed with the original signal, Hall Reverb can be used to create a warm, more natural sound. (Inspired by Lexicon 480L*)
