My earlier prediction that it would be an X32 in Midas drag (very British) was mostly correct if one accepts that this drag was dressed by Miss CL with fashion styling by AVID S3L.

Tim, I think you were dead on.

I'm a little confused about this offering though. If it were an "M48" I think I'd be game but this is just a better built X32 for $5k.

It appears to be a 40 channel console. What gives with the "32"?

@ Paul, the X32M32 is 40 inputs.  32 have head amp control, 6 are line in and 2 are dedicated USB playback.

@ Matt, I think the immediate benefit will be a "full speed ahead" integration with the rest of the Midas/KT product lines, and 96k operation "really soon now."  It also takes some of the pressure off the value model to be more things than it should be for the price.  A dissection of a working M32 would be illustrative...

I guess the fact that it has 32 pres, but is capable of mixing 40 channels.

Weird.  I'm kind of dumbfounded on this one.  If it has better pre-amps, this might be the console to have.  I'll be interested if this still has the weird DSP restrictions that the X32 has.  I assume this is built on the X32 code base and not the pro series code base.  Kind of surprised they just did not release this under the Behringer name to further legitimize the Behringer name.

I own both the X32 and two Pro2's... I don't think this thing replaces either of them.  Tell me if I'm wrong, but this is still a 48k desk, right?  Are they going to allow you to add more DSP to it to run at 96 or 192k?  If not, why all the mention of that?  At 48k this thing will still have that X32 "sound".  Granted, it does work, but it ain't no pro2.

With this console using the same pre-amps from the XL4 and Heritages, do you feel that it justifies the ~$2000 premium over the X32?
