This is true. Behringer had designed and were about to release the X32 before they even brought Midas/KT. They then halted the release and Midas/KT helped them improved the routing and some of the layout of the console as well as improving the pre-amps. Behringer then stuck their names on it as well. I Have one and for the money its brilliant, and again everyone who hires it seems to love it, but it is NOT a Midas desk. Neither do either company's tell you that.

Well I will stand a little corrected then. But then again, an HH V800, Goldmunn, and numerous other Power Amps, are not Hitachi then. Despite Hitachi designing, the original circuitry that they all use. Some chipsets, can only be used in certain ways. So there would always be some generic similarities.
And no it is not a Midas it is a Behringer, just as it is a HH, not a Hitachi. they just happen to be identical by approx 99% and no design apart from production issues were done by HH etc to make their products. In fact C-Audio were the first to do an original driver circuit for MOSFET amps with their cascode differential circuit. And due to Berry's reputation for cloning I wonder how similar they were to start with |

I can't really say more but trust me, they are not the same pre amp as in Midas' own digital offerings.

Friend of mine did the beta testing on X32 desk for Behringer at Germany. Also Ex Midas boss is one of the many people i've met in my line of work.
According to both of them, X32 uses same preamp as Midas desks. Simply because it is cheaper to do that than create a new one. |

Personally I couldnt give a toss whether its a Midas preamp or not, fact is it sounds better than a LS9.

The M7 (and just as crap LS9) had the advantage od being very cheap, they are now not the cheapest and are still not tolerable solutions. Riders with "NO YAHAMA desk, ESPECIALLY Digital ones!" are very common, the X32 is in not part Midas other than the use of super-mac (the better Midas board use Hyper-Mac to get a better channel count) but they do sound fine, yes I would prefer a Soundcraft Vi or a Midas Pro, but for their intended market they are great... |

Got the wifey to buy me a Zotac Nano Mini PC for Xmas and today had a play with a Live version of Mint with X32-Edit.
Works exactly as on win7 and is really usable even though being run off a 4gb USB stick. Going to mount the Mini PC on the back of a spare 19" Monitor. As I need to access the USB soundcard will stick with Win7 as the default but nice to know I can just boot from USB if I get any problems. It will be used in anger in this configuration for the first time Jan 1st so fingers crossed :) Tony |
