Behringer X32
The X32 Digital Mixing Console is a digital mixing console conceived and designed by German manufacturer Behringer. The console features 40-input channels, 25-bus, 32 XLR microphone input and 16 XLR output busses. The console features 25 100mm motorised faders, a user assignable control panel, Ethernet connectivity and an iPad and iPhone control application.[1]
Background and impact
[edit]In 2010, Behringer's parent company, Music Group (later renamed Music Tribe), acquired British mixing console manufacturer Midas and signal processing company Klark Teknik.[2] In 2012, utilizing design expertise and technology from all three companies, Behringer introduced the X32 as its flagship digital mixing console.[3][1]
At the time of its introduction, the X32 established a previously unheard of cost-to-feature ratio for digital mixers, as competing products with similar features were at least twice the price of an X32,[2] leading to widespread commercial success.[4]
Within the next two years, several variants of the X32 were introduced, including the X32 Core, the X32 Rack, the X32 Producer, and the one the X32 Compact,[3][4] with the X32 family of products becoming the best-selling digital console family.[5]
In 2012, the X32 received a TEC Awards nomination for small format console technology,[6] with the X32 Compact receiving a nomination in the same category the following year.[7]
