Maybe they're saving that for the Ultra M32 Pro.   ;D

Just kidding, this line of gear looks really interesting to me.  I can't wait to see what people do with it and what's coming next.

I expect that in a while there will be enough knowledge to compare the M32 to the X32 on a "capabilities" basis so one could make a proper case for purchase of one over the other ignoring the paint.

They do share some accessories which may be a good business case for some folk. You could use the X32 for the bar bands and local festivals while having a M32 for more upscale bands and corporate work with the ability to use either as a spare and to integrate them for some work.

Any thoughts on the "25 time-aligned and phase-coherent mix buses" listed as a feature on the M32? That was always a point of distinction for the Midas PRO series and discussed as a benefit over other digital consoles.

Is it the same on the X32?

As others have pointed out a lot of the software for the M32 looks the same as the X32 V2.0...

96k? Short list....


Not that I can see, it looks like they are trying to sell it as 96k capable, "future 96 kHz operation".  So, its a 48k desk.  So that kills that one.  Explains why the DL250 stageboxes shipped as 48k capable.  But... you won't be able to slave this console off of a Pro series desk.

They're saying five grand. Available April/May.

Looks like I have one sold to some club already.

This doesn't surprise me at all. It's a behringer x32 dressed up a bit. If you look at the Midas site they're even telling you what behringer (and Turbosound) products it'll control. This way it'll help behringer sell another 20,000 units.

I suppose one test would be to attach a stage box and see if it drops off line. If not then it's a Midas design. Only time will tell. I see that Soundcraft is now offering a Performer 1, 2, and 3. I don't have buyers remorse, but I certainly wish these options were available when I pulled the Soundcraft trigger 6 months ago.

Yes, no difference there

Again, no difference except for the logo.

I was told by a Midas staffer on the show floor that the console does not use the same mic pres as the X32. I did notice that the M32 has POP groups like the rest if their line.
