Opinion Request: We are getting ready to purchase a new board. I have narrowed it down to a Behringer, but now I am stuck on my last choice. Behringer: x32 Compact -OR- x32 Producer?
From Music Group Services EU GmbH:
The X AIR Android App allows you to control all mixing, processing and effects functions of BEHRINGER's X AIR digital mixer series right from your Android tablet or smartphone.
X AIR for Android delivers comprehensive control for the X18, XR18, XR16, and XR12 mixers. The user interface is configurable for either simplified access or expert level editing (S/E), for mixing 18 input channels to 12 buses. Control is also provided for the 4 internal stereo effects processors - all of which feature the critically-acclaimed BEHRINGER X32 audio processing engine.
The X AIR app provides the mobility to go where you need to get the most out of your system, enabling you to adjust your house mix from any seat or fine-tune monitor mixes from on-stage. Since all BEHRINGER's X AIR mixers feature internal access points, setting up the X AIR app couldn't be simpler - just select the X AIR network and connect your Android device to it. Upon opening the app, your X AIR mixer will show up as a controllable device, and will even allow you to lock your Android device to that specific X AIR mixer. You can also run the X AIR app in demo mode without connecting to your BEHRINGER X AIR series mixer. Additional hardware is not required, making the X AIR Android App the ideal solution for seamless remote mixing applications.
KEY FEATURES
- Control all Input Levels, incl. Preamp Gain, Low Cut, Phase, Phantom, Stereo Link
- Channel Parametric EQ Control - fine-tune EQ from anywhere in the room
- Configurable RTA overlay on the EQ editing screens, or separate large analyzer screen
- Metering Overview - whether you use the Android tablet or smartphone remotely or at the console, all levels at a glance
- Control bus send levels of input channels conveniently from their channel faders
- Detailed Preamp/Configuration, Gate, Dynamics, EQ and Bus Sends pages
- 4 Full Effects editing screens for Hall Reverb, Vintage Room Reverb, Modulation Delay, and Dimensional Chorus, or more than 50 other studio quality effects
- Use single bus-send mode for personal monitoring application without risking to affect any other signal path
- All input channels can be assigned to one of two AutoMixing (gain sharing) groups for conferences or panel discussions
- 4 Mute Groups and 4 DCA Groups remote controllable from the app
- X AIR Mixer's 64 internal snapshots can be filtered and recalled instantaneously
- USB Return routing options to stereo Aux- and FX-Returns (X18/XR18 only)
KNOWN ISSUES
- NOTE: With version 1.5, we have dropped support of the former IDCA function in favor of the four new mixer-internal DCAs. The internal DCAs are causing way lower network traffic and improve the response of the app, especially when more remote control clients (e.g. for personal monitoring) are connected to the same mixer.
REQUIREMENTS
- Compatible with Android devices running Android 4.0 or higher, display sizes larger than 5' recommended
- X AIR 1.5 requires X AIR series mixer firmware V1.11 or higher, or can be used in demo mode

32-Channel Digital Mixing Console
Product Description for the Behringer X32 Compact
Lean Mean Mixing Machine
What happened to the X32? It’s there… just a little bit smaller. The X32 COMPACT delivers the best of the flagship X32 console in a slightly smaller package for installs at smaller venues, houses of worship, theaters or situations that may not require as many local inputs or motorized faders. Powered by MIDAS & KLARK TEKNIK When Behringer began development on the X32 COMPACT, they called on their sister companies, MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK, recognized the world over for their digital consoles and EQ/FX processing, for implementation support. The programmable, high-grade micpreamps found in the X32 COMPACT are based on a genuine MIDAS design, all the way down to their A/D converters. The resulting design ensures superior common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and extremely low harmonic distortion (THD). The X32 COMPACT is an amazingly clean amalgam of high technology merged with superb user-friendly features. Behringer also received brilliant support from MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK in designing X32 COMPACT’s GUI (graphical user interface), a major advancement in digital mixing made easy, productive, and enjoyable. They also drew on their extensive experience in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) coding for rock-solid, ultra-low latency digital channel patching—giving the X32 COMPACT the capacity to handle up to 168 sources on 168 destinations, including the two AES50 ports. You can expect to see more collaboration between BEHRINGER and MIDAS in the very near future. You’re Well Connected
Ultimate connectivity remains the battle cry of the X32 COMPACT with its 40 inputs, 25 buses, 16 programmable MIDAS-designed mic preamps, USB 2.0 recording capability. The entire X32 family is designed to be beautifully scalable through the powerful AES50 ports built right in. Connect the powerhouse S16 digital snakes to these inputs to add an additional 16 mic preamps to your setup. Travel Light… Travel Far Need another X32 for side of stage or the broadcast control booth? X32 COMPACT packs all the features with the same great 7' TFT screen and customizable LCD scribble strip so you can take on the world of sound with all the firepower you’ll ever need – without hauling a world of outboard gear and analog snake cables.
