Overview
Behringer now offers the brilliant feature set of the X32 digital mixer in smaller form factors! The X32 Rack has the same "brain" as the original X32, the same awesome MIDAS preamps, the same iPad/iPhone remote capability, and the same user-friendly operation of the original X32. The X32 Rack delivers all the best of the flagship X32 console in a 4U package for a truly mobile solution. Settings and parameters may be adjusted using the on-board interface, or via iPad/iPhone.
It can be your top-notch studio recording interface today, control a complex theater 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, networked remote control literally makes room for new possibilities. Behringer's free XControl PC/Mac application, XiControl app for iPad/iPad mini and XiQ app for iPhone/iPod touch allow you to control the mix from exactly the place you find most suitable.
Sixteen MIDAS-design mic preamps provide plenty of inputs, and with its dual AES50 ports, the X32 Rack can support up to six S16 digital snakes for massive I/O connectivity.
Eight 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 Behringer includes it free of charge with X32 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.
