Behringer X32 Rack Digital Mixer

The X32 Rack is a 40-Input channel, 25-bus digital rack mixer with 16 programmable MIDAS preamps, a firewire/USB audio interface, and iPad/iPhone remote control.

It can be your top-notch studio recording interface today, control a complex theatre production tomorrow, or sit securely in your side rack while you’re mixing your band’s club gig from your iPad. The X32 RACK is a revolutionary new product genre that combines the finest analog I/O and powerful digital connectivity, with ample processing for 40 channels, 25 buses, and up to 152 signal sources.

While every parameter of your mix can be adjusted directly on the X32 RACK through its 800 x 480 graphic UI, the networked remote control literally makes room for new possibilities. Several instances of our XControl PC/Mac application, XiControl app for iPad/iPad mini, and XiQ app for Phone/iPod touch allow controlling the mix from exactly the place you find most suitable.

16 MIDAS-design mic preamps provide plenty of inputs—and with its dual AES50 ports, X32 RACK can support up to six S16 digital snakes for massive I/O connectivity. 8 powerful stereo FX engines coupled with ultra-flexible routing options make the X32 RACK the ideal choice for handling audio now—and as your needs grow.

TRACKTION 4 puts the fun back into the creative process, so we’re including it free of charge with select BEHRINGER products. This powerful, yet easy-to-use music production software is unlike anything you’ve seen before, putting everything you’ll need on your desktop, on a single screen – without the sea of drop-down and hidden menus common to most other DAWs. And TRACKTION doesn’t limit the number of tracks you can record or the number of effects you can use. In fact, the only limitation is your Mac or PC computer’s processing power. Recording and editing couldn’t be easier; simply drag, drop, cut, copy or paste. Once your magnum opus is finished, share it with other “Tracktioneers” so they can listen, collaborate and edit.
