[QUOTE="Matt Vivlamore, post: 137364, member: 33"] Re: LS9 versus M32? I would keep the LS9-32 for the fact that the console is there and the techs already know it and buy a Snake with a 1-2 Multipoins Disconnects for the FOH console and if the stage for the box is not permanently fixed. I would estitmate $2k-3k for a nice one (add a mon split tail). Layers... It would be easier to mix off the 'full/same type layering' that the Yamaha has. However, Behringer/Midas X/M32 does have the DCA's on the "out" half of the console which is nice you can put the money channels on layers 1-16 (or 17-32) and then use the DCA to control the rest of the inputs. Fader Glow... not a selling point to me. But each console does coloring and labeling on each channel. I do have some hours on an X32 (same software as M32) and having spent the last 10-12 years on Yamaha on a regular basis, so I think Yamaha is the easiest and most logically laid out. The X32 does make me stop and think about where things are and how to get to them. But once you learn the Lay out on each console, its pretty easy to work with. Other Key Points I see fitting: One thing not mentions is internal channel split/duplication. LS9-32 can process 64 channels, use layer 1 as FOH & layer 2 on Mons. As for the X/M32, you need to have 2 "brains" to make it happen, but you can share pre-amps with independent gain control. Channel Routing: On the LS9-32 you can pick individual XLR in/out-puts and place them any where on that respected layer. I'm not to familiar with X/M32, but the are in banks of 8. De-Esser: Yamaha has it on each channel, M/X32 you need to insert it onto that channel. But I think Yamaha's De-Esser has better functionality. I have been looking at the M32 platform and have been toying around with the idea of replacing my LS9-32 with a M32R + X32Rack (bypass the inputs/outputs) + DL16. Yes, I need two because I internally split my channels for FOH & MON feeds. I am putting the M32R on Mons and I would use the X32Rack for FOH. I am going with the X32-Rack just incase I have a 'oh shit, my iPad and/or wifi died', I can mix the band off the face plate and make some adjustments; with the Cores not to much. [/QUOTE]
