Midas M32 Live 40-channel Digital Mixer
Product Overview
The Midas M32 Digital Console is a professional 40-channel digital mixer built for live sound, broadcast, and studio applications. Featuring 32 world-class Midas Pro Series microphone preamps and 25 mix buses, it delivers pristine audio quality, flexible routing, and the reliability that touring engineers and venues demand. Its powerful 40-bit floating-point DSP engine offers great sound quality and clarity, while 16 built-in effects, automatic scene changes, and advanced cue management make it suitable for everything from concerts and churches to complicated theater shows.
Designed with both performance and workflow in mind, the M32 includes 25 motorized 100 mm faders, a 7-inch color TFT display, and customizable channel scribble strips for fast, intuitive operation. Connectivity is equally robust, with AES50 networking, USB audio interface, MIDI, ULTRANET distribution, and flexible analog I/O, making integration seamless in any system. With rugged build quality, ultra-low latency, and a versatile control ecosystem (including remote apps for computers, tablets, and mobile devices), the Midas M32 stands as a flagship digital mixer for professionals who refuse to compromise on sound or functionality.
