re: X32 Discussion
Here is the Summary of the test in the Aug release of SOS:
Behringer X32 £2300
pros
• Impressive sound quality and technical performance.
• Astonishing value for money. • Comprehensive feature set with
excellent effects. • Sensible ergonomics and superb digital
‘scribble strip’ LCDs. • Three-year warranty. • Imminent remote control from iPad
and computer. • XUF computer interface with stable drivers
and low latency. • USB replay of only uncompressed audio!
cons
• Base sample rates only. • No external word-clock facilities (yet). • No S/PDIF or AES3 inputs. • USB replay not compatible with iPod or
compressed audio. • No SRC for USB replay (yet). • EQ reset only available via the main
display screen.
summary
The Behringer X32 is an astonishingly affordable but immensely powerful and well-built digital console that deserves to do very well. It will appeal most strongly to the live-sound and theatre markets, but has home studio applications too.
