Live Digital Mixing Has Never Been Easier!

Behringer's X32 Compact digital mixer packs everything you need to easily mix and record a live show into a svelte, roadworthy package. But with its amazing-sounding Midas-designed mic preamps, this mixer is also at home in the studio. The X32 Compact's 40 inputs and 16 mix buses give you the flexibility you need, and Sweetwater audio engineers love how the USB interface delivers instant compatibility with major DAWs. You also get serious signal processing that can be quickly configured for sessions of any size. Factor in its amazingly intuitive interface and you have a winner: Behringer's X32 Compact is for you.

Impressive flexibility for its size

The Behringer X32 Compact digital mixer boasts massive I/O for its compact size. Fitted with 16 great-sounding programmable mic preamps, eight XLR outputs plus six additional line I/O, two headphone connectors, and a talkback section with an integrated or external mic, the X32 Compact lets you do sizable shows without the fear of running out of I/O. A built-in expansion port for audio interface cards or digital networking bridges expands the X32 Compact's functionality as needed. Got a really big show coming up? The Behringer X32 Compact has a ready 48-channel digital snake via two AES50 ports that feature Klark Teknik's SuperMAC networking capability for ultra-low jitter and latency.

Eight true-stereo multi-effects processors

The Behringer X32 Compact digital mixer sports an onboard virtual FX Rack that gives you access to eight true-stereo (16 mono) multi-effects processors including delay, chorus, and dynamics. It can also run four studio-quality stereo reverbs together with eight channels of 31-band graphic EQ. Say goodbye to bulky, expensive outboard hardware!

Great-sounding Midas-designed mic preamps

For the design of X32 Compact's programmable preamps, Behringer worked with sister companies Midas and Klark Teknik to develop programmable, studio-grade mic preamps that deliver enhanced dynamic range, superior common mode rejection, and vanishingly low harmonic distortion (THD). These preamps sound amazing!

Instant compatibility with major DAWs

Behringer X32 Compact digital mixer's X-USB interface lets you record your tracks straight into your DAW. How convenient is that? Right out of the box, you get compatibility with ProTools, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, and nearly any other ASIO or Core-Audio compatible DAW!

Intuitive, iron-fisted control

With Behringer's X32 Compact digital mixer, you can assign signals to eight DCA (Digitally Controlled Amplifier) groups, with simultaneous group level control via dedicated 100mm motorized faders. The Behringer X32 Compact has a talkback section (with a built-in mic) that lets you communicate with the artists. The Behringer X32 Compact's robust scene management lets you take snapshots of your mixes that you can recall later. You can even save them to a USB stick! What's more, there's a high-resolution 7" daylight-viewable color TFT display for easy viewing of your workflow components and parameters.

v3 firmware and software updates bring exciting new features

With v3, the Behringer X32 Compact digital mixer is more powerful than ever. Auto Mix enables automatic gain sharing, providing increased gain to your main speakers while ducking open mics. This yields a better signal-to-noise ratio without any gating artifacts. Complete X-Touch integration allows direct control of volume, pan, EQ, FX, and more over Ethernet. Set up a full crossover without using a matrix mix. Reverse polarity on your outputs for easy speaker alignment. The Behringer X32-Edit app has been completely redesigned, with a new interface, full-screen capabilities, floating windows, configurable fader layers, and more.

Versatile use with P16 series mixers

While optional, integrating your device with Behringer's line of compatible gear isn't just easy; it's a great way to take your studio equipment to next-level production applications, from integration with larger setups to increased live parameter control and beyond. Via onboard Ultranet connectivity, your gear is immediately ready to communicate with any compatible P16 series personal mixer, including the P16HQ and older P16-M models.

If you're unsure if your specific product is compatible with StageConnect or Ultranet systems, contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer — they're always happy to help.

Lo mejor
Me gusta mucho este mixer, no es pesado, es pequeña y sobre todo fácil de manejar
Music background: SOUND ING
Great Service
There's really not much to add or say about the X32 Compact. It's great and does more than most venues need. I want to review the service from Sweetwater--It's awesome!! Everything I order is correct, fast delivery and expert tech advice. Brandon Eden rocks! My only question is, are all the sales reps as good as Brandon?
Music background: Worship Minister, vocals, guitar, drums
Great mixer
We have a X32 and Wing already in our church. I ordered this one for online mixing. I like the X32 mixer but I truly wish there was a compact version of the Wing. The wing has a lot more processing power. The X32 gets the job done but the Wing would be much better.
Music background: Studio engineer (tracking and mixing), live sound engineer
X32 Newby
As a newby to the digital world, I'm learning as I go along. Very excited to start using my new equipment.
