By Mike CroftsThe X32 Compact takes the heart of Behringer's flagship console and crams it into a cheaper, smaller package. We put it to the test.The Behringer X32 has already caused quite a stir in the affordable digital mixer world, not only because of its low price but also the association with, and inclusion of, design and technology from the well-known Midas and Klark-Teknik stables, both of which are now part of the Behringer family. Aside from the original X32 there are now four other variants either in, or on the point of joining, the product line-up: the X32 Core, the X32 Rack, the X32 Producer, and the one that is currently on my desk, the X32 Compact. Anyone involved with live sound is likely to have at least heard of the X32, and the quick way to describe the X32 Compact is as an X32 without the first eight channel faders — although to keep the size down, the control layout has been redesigned (and some controls have been removed altogether), while the number of XLR inputs and outputs has been halved.

Studio Live Vs Behringer at live gigs. I had a client buy a X32 compact and had him return it for a basic1602 as it was better suited for his use and engineering capabilities. I totally love the little 1602!!! X-Touch ONE, M-Air mr18, X-Air xr18, x32 with Dante/aes67, x32-rack with Dante/aes67, s16 and sd16 stageboxes, p16 monitor. Jun 7, 2017 - i have an Xr18 and I just ordered an x32 rack. What are the major. It does do that, but at least you have a choice, unlike the X-Air series.
