Among the benefits of employing Behringer's X32 RACK mixer is effective use of space which is imperative when performing onstage in a club, as well as in a home or project studio setting where table/floor space can be extremely limited. It can be your quality studio recording interface today, control a complex theater production tomorrow, or sit securely in your side-rack while you mix your band’s club gig from your iPad*, all thanks to its legendary onboard X32 mix engine. It works great for space-limited situations, allowing for 152 signal sources feeding 40 channels and 25 buses, as well as 8 studio-quality effects processors, especially when you don't have space for a standard mixer because your drummer insists upon bringing all of his/her massive drumset and your keyboardist absolutely has to have those three 3-tier stands surrounding him. This compact unit delivers all the power and versatility of the full X32 digital mixer in a compact 3U chassis. Yep...3U.While every parameter of your mix can be adjusted directly on the unit via its 800 x 480 graphic UI, networked remote control literally makes room for new possibilities. You can use Behringer's X32-EDIT PC/Mac/Linux application, X32-MIX for iPad, X32-Q for iPhone*/iPod* touch and X32-Q for Android* to control the mix from exactly the position you find most suitable—anywhere in the room. You can even simultaneously run multiple instances of these powerful apps, even providing your performers the ability to mix their own personal monitors on-the-fly. This compact powerhouse features 16 MIDAS-designed mic preamps that provide plenty of inputs, and with its dual AES50 ports, it can support up to six S16 digital snakes (all sold separately) for massive input/output (I/O) connectivity.Plus its 8 powerful stereo FX engines coupled with ultra-flexible routing options make the X32 RACK the ideal choice for handling audio both now and in the future, as your needs grow.*Note: iPad, iPod, and iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc.
