General
Midas is a force to be reckoned with. Many large live productions across the globe have been using a Midas for decades. With the M32, this formidable brand proves once again that they also know their way around digital mixing. This is a 40-channel mixer with 32 microphone inputs, 25 motorised faders, 25 audio buses and an internal 40-bit floating-point bit rate. The considerable number of effects, processors and routing options at your disposal are clearly shown on the 7-inch TFT screen. Moreover, the number of inputs and outputs can be expanded to 96 (!) via the AES50 protocol. Perfect for large productions where you need to switch between different groups! Additionally, there are several assignable knobs and controls on the M32 so you can make it suit your needs.
Midas M32: Unlimited Possibilities
Large racks with tall stacks of auxiliary equipment are a thing of the past. The M32 is equipped with several classic effects, like a 1176LN and LA-2A compressor or a 480L reverb that can be uploaded to one of eight stereo FX engines. Each channel can be put through a full dynamic section (gate, compressor) and a 4-band parameter equalizer, the controls of which are on the channel strip section. Here you can control the gain (with adjustable high-pass), polarity, different buses and pan or balance. A USB port is also found here. The M32 allows you to record 32 channels and play them back separately for a virtual soundcheck. It can also function as a 32-channel in/out interface when you connect it to a computer. Moreover, you can easily incorporate it into your DAW with the Mackie and HUI protocol - great for the studio!
Buses, DCAs and Monitoring
Mixers this size often have DCA groups (the digital version of VCA groups) that allow you to assign channels - like a complete drum mix for instance - and adjust the volume while the overall balance remains unchanged. The Midas M32 offers eight freely assignable DCA groups. What's more, there are no fewer than 25 mix buses and when you connect them to one of the 16 outputs, you can use them for the monitors of your musicians. There's even an app on the market that allows musicians to mix their own sound on a phone or tablet! Also, the M32 is a perfect pair with the P16 monitoring system. The buses can also be used internally for bus processing, for instance. Plenty of options for a perfect mix!

Als ik hem in 2 woorden moest omschrijven zou ik zeggen;
gebruiksvriendelijk, degelijk.
Eigenlijk supergebruiksvriendelijk en superdegelijk (en tegelijk heel mooi)! Echt geen X32 met alle respect, ik heb een X32 gehad vind het wel degelijk een hele grote vooruitgang nu ik de M32 bezit, alleen al het gevoel van de faders. Alles werkt supersnel en laten we het niet hebben prachtig mooi hij is. Het waanzinnige design maakt hem niet alleen mooi maar zo overzichtelijk, waardoor je er veel sneller mee werkt. Dat is heel prettig. Verder oerdegelijk gemaakt om vele jaren dienst te doen, en niet voor niks krijg je 10 jaar fabrieksgarantie op de M32.
Alles is van de hoogste kwaliteit en dat merk je ook aan alles.
Een zeer Professionele mixer welke zowel geschikt is voor in de studio als om mee te nemen. Hij is geschikt voor kleine en grote shows door de vele aansluitingen en enorme hoeveelheid mogelijkheden maar door het bedieningsgemak en overzicht is het nooit een probleem en kan iedereen met dit apparaat werken. Shows kunnen worden opgeslagen en alle instellingen kunnen worden bewaard.
Alles bedienen via app met telefoons of tablets werkt als een droom en eventueel supersnel via netwerk en indien gewenst een snake aansluiten met slechts een kabeltje. Sporen apart opnemen, 16 uitgangen, USB Stick recorder, 8 DCA-groepen, 25 mix-bussen het is allemaal mogelijk met de M32
Kortom:
Dit is echt een beest van een mixer voor degene die echt alleen maar het allerbeste wil!
M32 is een zeer degelijke mixer en lekker overzichtelijk.
Qua sound ook dik 5 sterren.
communicatie met een ipad iPhone of andoid is erg makkelijk en werk eigenlijk altijd ook als de hele band zn monitoren af aan het stellen is. De mixer doet onverstoord zn werk.
+ Gebruiksvriendelijkheid
+ De degelijkheid, faders, snelheid van de concole
+ razendsnel mee te werken via netwerkcontrol
- De Midas M32 wordt standaard geleverd met een standaard usb kaart terwijl, de budget variant, X32 standaard geleverd wordt met een uitgebreide usb / Firewire kaart. Welke tevens asociaal duur worden aangeboden in alle webshops.
++ zeer overzichtelijk
++ werkt snel
-- Handleiding is wat onduidelijk ( Een mailtje naar Midas zelf lost al je vragen op )
