M32C DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual
Introduction
Welcome to the M32C user manual! After years of intense development, we are
proud to off er a mixer that combines tremendous power and fl exibility with a
very user-friendly layout and intuitive workfl ow that allow you to get up-and-
running right away.
The M32C is a robust-yet-streamlined mixer that features all of the basic
functionality and processing of the MIDAS M32 console in a smaller form factor.
When paired with our DL16 digital stagebox and either the M32-Mix app for
iPad* or M32-Edit editor for PC/Mac*, the M32C becomes the centerpiece of a
highly-fl exible mixing system for both portable and fi xed-install applications.
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. The ability to save and recall entire scenes makes set or program
changes quick and simple. A front panel USB connector enables system data to be
stored or a board mix to be recorded directly to external fl ash or hard drives.
A virtual FX rack off ers 8 true-stereo (16 mono) multi-eff ects processors,
with over 60 FX models that eliminate the need for any additional outboard gear.
4 high-quality eff ects such as delay, chorus and reverb can run concurrently with
8 channels of 31-band graphic equalization.
The built-in USB interface card enables streaming of up to 32 tracks to and from a
computer for recording, mixing and mastering purposes.
