Behringer X32 Producer

The Behringer X32 Producer console has appeared on the Behringer site.

From the tech spec, 40-Input, 25-Bus Rack-Mountable Digital Mixing Console with 16 Programmable MIDAS Preamps, 17 Motorised Faders, FireWire/USB Audio Interface and iPad/iPhone Remote Control.

An interesting piece of hardware though I don’t tend to relate rack-mountable and portable.

From the blurb,

Why do we call it the X32 PRODUCER? A producer is someone who lives life on the go…

It is however great to see digital desks comming down in price.
