Does the new range have cable-mounting females? One of the major drawbacks of the current Powercon range is having to use those expensive (and easy to lose) couplers every time you need to extend a cable.

Have not heard much on the new Behringer X32, although it will be quite interesting to see how it is adopted by amateurs and pros alike. If anyone has found any demo videos please let us know. All I have found is these two images.

Personal mixing in an IEM system sounds great, especially because you don't lose stereo like with the old concept of a ''focus''-knob.
I fear we will not see this in Germany because we don't have a large free radio band for digital transmission under 1GHz yet and maybe never will have. Maybe in the 1.4GHz range some day but it will take time and money to adapt a product for a relatively small market. I fear it's not profitable for Lectrosonics to jump over here with this product.

Serious shit....
One thing missing though : a LOCAL 'port' for ambient mics ... think Sensaphonics.
Lectrosonics can still upgrade QUADRA with that ... maybe a TRRS jack ?

Has anyone else noticed that they have misspelled their own company name in the headline of the press release?

Most other Crown amplifiers don't have a spec like this, either:

That's ugly. Sounds like a Mackie powered mixer. Definitely not suitable for sub duty

Well I was wondering who they were going to knock off with this. at least it's not totally identical but it does seem awfully alike.

Any word on what their new pricing structure is going to be for the MBox and Protools lines?

Re: Oooh Shiny!
I would have never guessed Crown would go the Home Audio route.
My has things changed at Crown! They once offered a DC - 20,000 kHz Frequency Response.
Best Regards,

Whirlwind had this on display, not sure how new it is, but build quality was very good.

That and the new Shure RF were the only things that stood out to me.

Re: NAMM - report
I hate to admit it, but the X32 is much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the Si Compact, although we don't know how it compares in any other category
. To me it looks like the X32 is a combination of an Ilive and LS9.

Re: NAMM - report
There's only so many ways to construct a hardware UI that works for humans. After all, how similar do most analog consoles look?
Given that Behringer has had some original products in the past (mostly digital widgets and consoles, amusingly enough), I'd be surprised if this were a copy of an existing product. Besides, Behringer has historically copied an existing product as their first foray into a new type of products, and then done their own designs for the subsequent generations. This is not Behringer's first digital console.

Re: NAMM - report
We've had the original here as a demo for several months now. It's robust as hell, and by the looks of those pictures, they've taken several of my suggestions and put them into effect.

It is a very cool/simple product, the truss clamp is a very cool idea as well.
