Now to its handling: the configuration can, once you know where every setting is located in the menu, be done quickly and intuitively, although some with only modest knowledge of digital mixers might find the manual lacking some details. One thing to note when wanting to use the console in the studio: there is a fan inside it which albeit being silent is audible and can get annoying, I guess. So to the rest of the hardware: the metal casing seems to be very sturdy and able to take a beating or two, the plastic end cheeks are solid as a rock and all the switches and connectors on the back side are of high quality as well. Plus the resolution is rather high for a 7 inch screen which is a good thing as you can pack lots of pixels/information on it, but rather bad if your eyes are beginning to show signs of decay. While I do think it's great in terms of maximum brightness and contrast, I do also think that it's lacking a little when it comes to the viewing angle which means that you have look down on the console (=stand up) when you want to see everything on the display nice and clear. Speaking of it, the next thing that's catching your eye is its 7 inch display. For those of you: you can still resort to the knobs underneath the display for precise and fine adjustment. The knobs are some of the best I've ever seen, though some may complain that they are very smooth-running as well. Having plastic faders doesn't need to be a disadvantage as well (read: static discharge anyone? -)). I don't think that way! They are very smooth-running, but then again that's what I would expect from motorized faders. Some people complained about the faders feeling a little cheap. It could compete with a Tascam digital mixer without any problems, actually I thought that the X32's buttons had the same feel as the DM-4800 (although it has been a while since I last played around with that one). I found the build quality to be exceptionally well, regardless of its price. :-) The first thing I noticed about the console were the externals, of course. j/k -)Īnyway, enough with the kid's stuff, let's get down to the nitty-gritty.
Plus there was a nice life-size poster of the illuminated X32 in it which I thought would be doing very well in my 1-year-olds child's room.
I was quite impressed with the box that weighs some pounds more than I expected (the box alone!).
So this is it, I thought, when unboxing my first Behringer product, the console that everyone's talking about (but didn't find it's way to the Gearslutz forum reviews yet, so here I come with my first review :-)).
