Background and impact

In 2010, Behringer's parent company, Music Group (later renamed Music Tribe), acquired British mixing console manufacturer Midas and signal processing company Klark Teknik. [2] In 2012, utilizing design expertise and technology from all three companies, Behringer introduced the X32 as its flagship digital mixing console. [3] [1]

At the time of its introduction, the X32 established a previously unheard of cost-to-feature ratio for digital mixers, as competing products with similar features were at least twice the price of an X32, [2] leading to widespread commercial success. [4]

Within the next two years, several variants of the X32 were introduced, including the X32 Core, the X32 Rack, the X32 Producer, and the one the X32 Compact, [3] [4] with the X32 family of products becoming the best-selling digital console family. [5]

In 2012, the X32 received a TEC Awards nomination for small format console technology, [6] with the X32 Compact receiving a nomination in the same category the following year. [7]
