A Word About Midas and Behringer
If you want to learn about using your Midas M32 mixer, you can look online for tutorials on the Behringer X32 mixer.
The Midas M32 line of mixers, with their superior audio components and sound quality, share their design with the less-expensive Behringer X32 line of mixers. Midas and Behringer are two brands from the same company, Music Tribe.
Behringer X32 tutorials apply equally to the Midas M32 because the two products are laid out and are operated in the same fashion, though certain buttons and knobs may be in different locations.
From time to time, Behringer and Midas release a new version of the M32 and X32 operating system through a firmware update. As of this writing, the M32 and X32 use Version 4.0x, first released in late 2019.
TIP: Many X32 and M32 tutorial videos you find online were made years before late 2019. The mixers in those videos are running earlier versions of the operating system. Their display screens may have menus and controls laid out in a different order, with a different color scheme. However, the information these videos provide is still useful.
Setup, Routing, and Recording
Follow our Sweetwater SweetCare guide below to set up your Midas M32 and use stage boxes and personal mixers.
Sweetwater’s instructions for the Behringer S and SD line of stage boxes applies equally to Midas’s DL line of stage boxes.
