Signals are routed using a total of 25 buses, made up of three main ones (left, centre, right) 16 'aux' mixes and six matrix buses, each with parametric EQ and dynamics processors.
Just to run down the basic functionality, the X32 Compact has 16 on-board mic preamps and 16 balanced analogue XLR inputs, with six local auxiliary inputs (line level on TRS jacks, with additional unbalanced RCA connectors on inputs 5 and 6 for things like CD players), and a further 16 inputs available via the AES50 ports. We took an in-depth look at the technical and practical aspects of the original X32 last year ( ), and it would be worth reading that review as much of the technical detail applies to the X32 Compact. However, the output busing and master-section functionality from the full-size X32 are still there, just as they would be on the larger unit. 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. 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. 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.
The X32 Compact takes the heart of Behringer's flagship console and crams it into a cheaper, smaller package.
