Independent shopping perspective
Behringer’s X32 COMPACT is a 40-channel digital mixing console built for live or studio work where routing and recall need to stay manageable in a smaller format. Sixteen Midas-designed mic preamps, 25 mix busses and 16 XLR outputs provide the main mixing infrastructure, while the color touchscreen keeps channel, effects and routing navigation close at hand. USB 2.0 and FireWire support direct computer recording, and AES/EBU output adds a digital connection option for integrated systems.
