Why do we call it the X32 PRODUCER?
A producer is someone who lives life on
the go, requires the best tools and demands
the exibility to handle any project.
In designing the X32 PRODUCER, we packed
powerhouse features into a rock solid form
factor, well suited for mobile live sound/
recording, home/project studios and
installed sound applications.
Lean and Agile
Processing power, ample I/O and
exible routing are central themes in the
X32 PRODUCER. Where larger consoles
make sense in xed installations or studios,
with the X32 PRODUCER, studio-caliber
performance now goes wherever life takes
you. Eight stereo eects engines provide
the signal processing power equivalent to
racks of outboard gear without having to
haul anything besides the X32 PRODUCER.
Bring It On
This streamlined, but powerful,
new member of the X32 family is built to
handle the load–no matter what fate throws
your way. Rack-mountable and equipped
with 16 MIDAS-designed mic preamps,
X32 PRODUCER also comes with two AES50
ports to connect the powerful S16 digital
snakes for up to 96 additional XLR inputs
and 48 returns –all connected by Ethernet
cable for featherweight deployment
compared to analog snakes.
For Posterity’s Sake
The X32 Producer is born ready
to connect to your computer-based
recording setup. FireWire* and USB 2.0
functionality make it the ideal tool for
mobile recording up to 32 channels,
plus built-in control surface protocols make
it a great companion to your favorite DAW.
Remotely Yours
With the X32 PRODUCER, you are no
longer tethered to the FOH console position,
which means you can setup wherever
you like. You can then take a walk to hear
and adjust the mix from anywhere in the
venue via an iPad or tablet PC connected
to your wireless network. Plus, you can let
the performers dial-in their own personal
monitor mixes thanks to the XiQ app for
iPhone and iPod touch. X32 PRODUCER’s
capabilities will free you up to be your
creative best!
