Product Information: Why do Behringer call it the X32 PRODUCER? A  producer is someone who lives life on the go, requires the best tools and  demands the flexibility 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.Processing power, ample I/O and flexible routing are central themes in the X32  PRODUCER. Where larger consoles make sense in fixed installations or studios,  with the X32 PRODUCER, studio-caliber performance now goes wherever life takes  you. Eight stereo effects engines provide the signal processing power equivalent  to racks of outboard gear without having to haul anything besides the X32  PRODUCER.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.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 favourite DAW.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!TRACKTION 4 puts the fun back into the creative process, so we’re including it  free of charge with select BEHRINGER products. This powerful, yet easy-to-use  music production software is unlike anything you’ve seen before, putting  everything you’ll need on your desktop, on a single-screen – without the sea of  drop down and hidden menus common to most other DAWs. And TRACKTION doesn’t  limit the number of tracks you can record, or the number of effects you can use.  In fact, the only limitation is your Mac or PC computer’s processing power.  Recording and editing couldn’t be easier; simply drag, drop, cut, copy or paste.  Once your magnum opus is finished, share it with other “Tracktioneers” so they  can listen, collaborate and edit.
