...I don't think Midas, or Behringer as it may be, has any intent to misguide the public with an over priced camouflaged X32. IMO, and it is just my opinion, is that Midas has now offered a $5K board with a ton of features, a board that effectively replaces anything from a Venice up to a Pro 1 at a reasonable price. This is a hole in the lineup Midas need to fill, and they've filled it. I see no reason for the buyer to beware-enger.

I agree with Bob on this.  We have been looking into purchasing another X32 as well as the Midas Pro2.  If the M32 by Midas is a better board for around $2,000 more than the X32 is I will seriously consider purchasing it instead of another X32.  If however that is not the case then I will get another X32 and save the money.  Either way, neither of X32 or the M32 will replace the Pro2 that we are going to be getting.

Time will tell what the M32 is or isn't...I am at least going to give it a chance before I decide one way or the other.

One last thing...Bob quit making me agree with you...it is making both of us look bad... ;)

How about using the Midas branded "DL16" stagebox with the Behringer X32 @ 48k?

Sounds like the better move. Use your X32 till it dies and then pick up an M32.

oh.. and,

it's not hard to imagine the "M32 Compact, M32 Producer, M32 Rack and M32 Core" then Behringer drops the X32 line.

Bingo we have a winner, I suspect the large x32 console will go leaving the smaller surfaces etc and the M32 will replace the full size x32 probably with some price adjusting in the process.G

The spectrum analyzer looks nifty. One thing that isn't in X32 v2.

Actually, the spectrum analyzer is on the X32 V2. 8)  I just updated one of our X32s to V2.0.1 Beta.

LOL.... I guess I missed that. Any additional features, then? They seem to be implying better pres - but they could easily be the same. Implying better faders, maybe? Surface is a little better spaced out? 96k? Short list....

I think it is also in the X18  as it has this in the blurb.

Surprised that the UI looks exactly the same on the screens of the M32 and X32. I figured that at least would look a little different.

To quote you from another post: "Same here"....  :o

It definitely looks like a x32 in Midas clothing; which isn't to say it won't sell very well.
