14 M32 - Digital Console User Manual 15
Introduction
Welcome to the M32 Digital Console User manual! After years of intense development, we are proud to oer a mixer that
combines tremendous power and exibility with a very user-friendly layout and intuitive workow that allows you to get
up and running right away.
The M32 combines a control surface with streamlined workow, extensive I/O and signal processing into a compact desk-
top form factor. Employing award-winning MIDAS PRO Series microphone preampliers and the custom-designed MIDAS
PRO motorised faders that are rated for 1 million cycles, along with a daylight-viewable TFT screen, the control surface is
designed to allow immediate access to critical functions with total and automatic recall of settings. Extensive onboard I/O
includes 40 A/D and 24 D/A Cirrus Logic converters, 96 bi-directional channels over SuperMAC AES50, stereo AES/EBU out,
16 channels of Ultranet personal monitoring and 32 x 32 channels of recording over FireWire or USB.
Abundant analogue connectivity is provided by 32 MIDAS PRO Series digitally-controllable microphone preamps, six
line-level auxiliary inputs and outputs, 16 XLR outputs, stereo monitoring outs on XLR/TRS and dual phones outputs.
Each of the 32 microphone inputs can accept balanced or unbalanced mic- or line-level signals, and include switchable
phantom power, 72 dB gain range and maximum +23 dBu level before clip. A separate external microphone input and the
internal talkback mic allow communication to various destinations.
Dual AES50 Ethernet jacks that employ KLARK TEKNIK SuperMAC technology contribute 96 x 96 signals to the total count
of 168 x 168 accessible sources and destinations. Motorised faders, recallable mic preamps, programmable routing and
the ability to save and recall entire scenes make set or programme changes quick and simple. A top panel USB connector
enables system data to be stored, or a board mix to be recorded directly to external ash or hard drives.
The Input section is home to 16 high-resolution 100 mm motorised faders, providing control over channels 1-16, 17-32,
Aux inputs/USB playback/FX returns. A separate section of eight motorised faders controls DCA groups 1-8, bus masters
1-8 and 9-16, as well as matrices 1-6. The channel editing section provides tangible controls for instant access to the
selected channel’s gain, dynamics, EQ and other functions. A custom-assignable section allows certain control functions to
be mapped directly to a set of dedicated rotary controls and buttons.
A main seven inch-wide, high-contrast colour display provides information for editing pertinent parameters of the active
function or eect. Relevant parameters are quickly recalled to the display for editing via ‘VIEW’ buttons in each subsection.
Each channel also features a small, customisable LCD screen for track name, number, colour and source graphic.
A virtual FX rack oers eight true-stereo (16 mono) multi-eects processors, with over 60 eects models that eliminate
the need for any additional outboard gear. Four high-quality eects such as delay, chorus and reverb can run concurrently
with eight channels of 31-band graphic equalisation.
Transmit up to 32 channels of audio to and from a computer using the KLARK TEKNIK DN32 USB audio interface.
The M32 integrates seamlessly with other M32 consoles, the MIDAS DL16 digital stagebox and the Behringer P-16 person-
al monitoring system for a complete live, studio and installed sound solution.
Control the mixer from a distance with the free iPad application, or with editing and remote control software connected
via Ethernet. The M32’s ease of use, intuitive workow, diverse feature set and integration with other equipment make it
an ideal centrepiece for installed and production sound in any setting.
