Behringers 32 into 8 sub's into two stereo mixer.. a commonly owned model, lots around s/h.... just to say there is some contention about the reliability of some Behringer power supplies or at least power getting onto wrong busses on the mixer or whatever faults on some models.... I can't say how widespread that is, but there is some talk about it around... but if it works ok it's a nice mixer for the prices you can get 'em for .... your personal user comments are thus appreciated .. you can add 'em at the end of this page...
behringers bigger mixers come with a rackmount 19" power supply, This model has it....
The MX3282A gives you 28 actual channel strips... configured as 24 mono channels with inserts and mic/line inputs... and 4 stereo channels with line-inputs and inserts making 28 strips in total.... the channels have solo & mutes, and there is inserts on all channels, subs and master L/R... all In/Out's are balanced...
24 mono + 4 stereo (8) = 32 total ... hence the MX32/8/2....
There's 8 sub-groups to which any or all 28 channel strips can be assigned... the 8 subs have dedicated mixer out sockets as usual.... There is also 4 Aux returns, each one stereo which have routing options too...
8 auxiliary SENDS per channel
two pre-fader sends (1 & 2) two post-fader sends (3 & 4) four pre/post switchable sends (5 – 8)
The EQ:
3-band EQ with semi-parametric mid-band and sweep area of 100 Hz to 8 kHz.
The stereo channels give you four fixed frequency bands: 80 Hz, 500 Hz, 3 kHz and 12 kHz. With a full 15 dB of boost or attenuation.
low-cut filter:
A steep-ish (18 dB/octave) filter at 75 Hz, helps to roll off low-frequency noise without taking away from the low-mids of the actual sound as a wider slope would... it's a nice addition...
all in all a fully featured desk... lots of in's .. plenty of outs to feed whetever, and mucho amounts of Aux send power.... Any users passing thru, i'd like to know if the 4 Aux-returns can be routed thru into a sub group/mix, cos sometimes desks don't let you do this... I'm pretty sure you can do that tho...
As i say, they had a ruff reputation ride with power and breakdowns on some models... in my limited experience of them, they look nice, controls feel reasonably robust and smooth, well laid out... sound ok... they are also cheap s/h... lots of inputs for the larger studio and tons of sends for sound-sculpting with outboard.... anyways... a commonly available larger mixer ideal for a bigger project studio.... experiences please....
