Live Digital Mixing Has Never Been Easier
It comes equipped for 32-channel recording, giving you instant compatibility with major DAWs. You also get serious signal processing that can be quickly configured for sessions of any size. If you’re tired of negotiating an endless sea of encoders and menus, then it’s time you tried a new approach to digital mixing: the Behringer X32.
Behringer X32 Digital Mixer at a Glance:
- Impressive I/O
- Great-sounding Midas-designed mic preamps
- Instant compatibility with major DAWs
- Onboard FX
- Comprehensive controls
Impressive I/O
The Behringer X32 digital mixer boasts an impressive number of inputs and outputs for its compact size. Fitted with 32 great-sounding gain-programmable mic preamps, six 1/4″ TRS aux inputs, 16 balanced XLR outs, plus balanced Control Room outputs on both XLR and 1/4″ TRS connectors, the X32 lets you do large shows without fear of running out of I/O. A single Cat 5 cable from front of house to the stage can handle up to 48 channels of audio and deliver all bus outputs, along with 16 separate monitor feeds for Behringer’s optional P16-M Personal Monitoring System.
Great-sounding Midas-designed mic preamps
For the design of X32’s gain-programmable preamps, Behringer captured Midas and Klark Teknik’s expertise to develop studio-quality mic preamps that deliver enhanced dynamic range, superior common mode rejection, and vanishingly low harmonic distortion (THD). These preamps sound amazing!
Instant compatibility with major DAWs
The Behringer X32 digital mixer comes with the X-USB recording interface card, which lets you record your tracks straight into your DAW. This convenience means that right out of the box, you have compatibility with Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, and nearly any other ASIO or Core Audio-compatible DAW.
Onboard FX
The Behringer X32 digital mixer sports an onboard virtual FX rack that gives you eight true-stereo (16 mono) multi-effects processors, including delay, chorus, and dynamics. It can also run four studio-quality stereo reverbs together with eight channels of 31-band graphic EQ, eliminating expensive outboard hardware.
Comprehensive controls
With Behringer’s X32 digital mixer, you can assign signals to eight DCA (digitally controlled amplifier) groups, with simultaneous group level control via dedicated 100mm motorized faders. The X32 has a talkback section (with built-in mic) that lets you communicate with the artists. The X32’s robust scene management lets you take snapshots of mixes that you can recall later. You can even save them to a USB thumb drive! What’s more, there’s a dedicated custom control section with user-definable knobs and buttons, so you can create customized sets of controls, making it simple and intuitive to access frequently used functions as you work.

I have only had the X32 for a few weeks and each day I am finding more and more to like about it.If only I had this console 30 years ago. I am 55 now and like a kid in a candy store. I mapped all 32 I/o into Reaper last night and was playing around. Starting and stopping the recording and playback from the assignable section. The night before I was wrenching on all the effects. Some really good stuff in there. It could use a good harmonizer though. Before that I set up a 3 way stereo crossover on the matrix outs and used the center out for a mono sub woofer out. Way too cool.I am not sure where the DSP memory wall is but I have not hit it yet. X32 – changed my game
This is a nice board. Sound is clean. We use it in our church. Each channel has a customizable color and text label display. Great full board save and restore. We use to save the entire board settings or during programs when changing a scene, rather than having to mute and un mute mics and adjust levels. With this we were able to toss a lot of other sound equipment because it is already included in this board. If you buying for a new venue, this board may be the only thing you need, besides amps and speakers. This board can be controlled via network remotely via an iPad, nice to be able to remotely mute things before you unplug or plug in and to listen to the sound and adjust at the listeners area. Also you can connect to a PC via USB and have the PC save the raw channels for post production mixing, or replay for training. Nice!
We purchased the X32 along with the digital snake and personal monitoring system for our ministry because we were impressed by the features and wanted a total digital system.
I am a professional audio engineer and have toured with top 40 artist for years. I was very concerned when a church member donated an X32 to a church that employees me on the weekends. As a professional Behringer equipment is NEVER allowed in a pro audio system. However in this situation I had no choice since it was donated free of charge to the church. When I opened up the box and installed the mixer, I fully expected at least partial failure if not complete failure. Behringer has never had a great reputation. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. So much so that I have since recommended the console to countless churches and personally installed them in two churches. There is nothing on the market that compares to this product anywhere near this price point. Its somewhat user friendly for a feature rich digital console with so much versatility. With a couple of hours and a YouTube connection most volunteers could be up and running. The sound quality is good.
Though we realize that taking this digital mixer board to full functionality is a steep learning curve, every step we’ve taken towards the goal has been very rewarding.

I purchased this mixer to do studio and live events and was attracted by the number of features available for such a small price. After unboxing, I was able to get a basic setup up and running within 15 minutes. Flying faders, dynamics, effects, and seamless iPad integration, you can’t beat this for the price. Thumb drive recording and playback is very cool.
This mixer is just what my Church needed. And for the price,, and for the price its unbeatable. Thank you Gopandy for your business.
