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.

TEKNOWLOGY
10
11
Gold From Beginning To End
X32’s input topology – mic preamps, programmable gain controls and
A/D stages were designed by a dedicated engineering team at MIDAS.
Conceived as a single, cohesive system, and built around premium A/D
converters, this proprietary preamp design captures every nuance of your
input signal–ensuring superb sonic performance.

Designed Preamps
X32 programmable mic preamps process every audio signal to ensure a
specifically airy sound with pinpointed localization. The preamp design
eliminates typical imbalances of gain-setting stages, thereby improving the
common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and reducing second level harmonic
distortion to an almost immeasurable level.

Gain setting is fully programmable and covers a total range of 72 dB, with a
precision resolution of 0.5 dB per step. Accommodating a maximum input
signal level of +23 dBu, X32 turns analog VRs and pad switches into ancient
history. Backing the analog input section are audiophile-quality Cirrus
Logic multi-channel A/D converters, which boast a 114 dB dynamic range,
ensuring impressively-low distortion and low-noise performance.

Audio Networking & Interfacing
X32 includes an array of control and networking
capabilities as standard features. Dual-port AES50
digital networking supports up to 96 channels of
audio over Cat-5e, allowing remote stage boxes
and sharing signals among several connected X32s.
On-board ULTRANET provides a 16-channel digital mix
direct to P16 Personal Monitor Mixers, without added
hardware, cost or latency. Ethernet, USB, FireWire,
MIDI – all standard features on X32.

The X32 Experience
Whether you come from an analog mixing background, or are accustomed to using
other digital consoles, your first experience with X32 has been engineered to be intuitive,
fluid and straightforward. The brilliance of X32’s workflow is its simplicity and total lack
of clutter. Tactile controls allow smooth adjustments to critical elements as the mix
progresses while the TFT screen keeps you informed every step of the way. This integration
of tactile controls, motorized faders and the array of LCD and TFT displays makes the
X32 experience the premiere solution for Live Sound, Broadcast, Studio Recording and
Post Production applications.

Recording
A versatile powerhouse of a live console, the X32 also provides robust studio functionality. Record and
play back up to 32 tracks which run on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating
systems or Mac computers via integrated FireWire 400 or USB 2.0 connectivity. X32 supports a variety of
sample rates, allowing you to record up to 32 tracks of live audio directly to your computer for mixing down
later. Take advantage of X32’s built-in FX engines to augment your DAW’s plug-in collection, or to free up
valuable computer resources. X32’s recall capability makes it easy for both project and professional studio
engineers to stay organized by storing projects as scenes, either internally or externally on a USB stick.

DAW Ready—MIDI Plus Mackie Control* & HUI* Protocols

Thanks to its onboard MIDI ports, the X32 console can function as a high-level, large-format control
surface, similar to Mackie Control and HUI, and integrates seamlessly with most popular DAW platforms.
X32’s motorized faders can be used to send position information to the onscreen DAW faders, while each
bus’ mute and solo buttons control their onscreen counterparts. This powerful control surface relationship,
which functions bi-directionally between the X32 and your DAW, allows you to work more quickly and attend
to the finer nuances of the overall mix. After all, mixing with your hands puts you in “touch” with your project,
providing a level of finesse that can mean the difference between a good recording session—and a work
of art! Or, would you rather use a mouse?

22
23
Remote Control
XControl Software for PC & Mac Computers
Just as in life, you can never have too many connections and this applies to controlling the console itself. Simply connect
the X32 to a laptop or desktop PC or Mac Computer via LAN, wireless network or Ethernet cable. The XControl app
gives you command of the X32 remotely via computer. Move a fader on the PC, it moves on the X32; press a button on
the computer, the button toggles on the X32. You’ll find this feature extremely helpful for stage-side monitor control,
individual control of multiple installed X32s, as well as multiple remote control stations of the same X32. The XControl
app also lets you create scenes on your PC beforehand to minimize the time required for sound checks. With the
XControl app for PC, your computer becomes your virtual X32.

XiControl App for iPad

Front of House is wherever you and your iPad are—thanks to the new XiControl app for iPad. Just plug in a wireless router
via Ethernet cable to the X32, and then wirelessly connect up to 10 iPad devices, which is especially handy for custom
monitor mixes. The XiControl app lets you control all 32 mic inputs, 8 AUX inputs and 16 buses—plus the FX stereo returns
and the Matrix, Main, and DCA levels. Select a fader bank on the iPad, slide the virtual faders and X32’s motorized faders
instantly mirror your action. Plus, with the Sends on Faders functionality, your iPad now controls 16 independent monitor
mixes. The XiControl app gives you the flexibility and mobility to make running sound a breeze! Download the free
XiControl app from Apple’s App Store.

XiQ App for iPhone and iPod touch

XiQ is the perfect tool for setting up your personal monitoring mix with the BEHRINGER X32 Digital Mixing Console.
Compatible with iPhone models and iPod touch devices, each artist can run their own XiQ app to adjust and tweak their
personal wedge’s mix. XiQ includes an assignable MCA (Mix Control Association) feature that makes monitor mixing
simple enough to be adjusted during performance. Assign any input or combination of inputs to one of the 4 MCA
controls inside XiQ and instantly get “more me”, “less band”, “more click track”… with a single sweep of your finger.
