Description
The Midas M32C is not just a digital mixer; it's a revolution in a 1U rackmount form. Designed for both live sound and studio recording, this mixer captures the essence of the flagship M32 while allowing you to run sound in multiple remote locations effortlessly. With its dual AES50 networking, you can connect up to 96 inputs and 48 outputs over a single Cat 5 cable, making bulky analog snakes a relic of the past.
The M32C shines with its eight studio-grade effects engines, providing a powerful array of reverbs, delays, and dynamics that rival costly outboard gear. This mixer lets you control your sound remotely using M32-EDIT, M32-MIX, and M32-Q apps, giving you the flexibility to adjust settings from your computer or mobile device. Whether you're in the control room or moving through the venue, you have the power to mix and fine-tune every detail wirelessly.
Built to be future-ready, the M32C's open architecture supports future 96 kHz operation and offers expansion slots for additional audio interface cards. Its robust aluminum and steel construction ensures durability on the road, while its 32x32 USB audio interface offers seamless integration with your DAW for recording and playback.

Features and functionality
-
The Midas M32C requires an external stage box like DL16 for preamps, connected via AES50, limiting local control options compared to X32 Rack.

User experience
Use cases and applications
-
The Allen & Heath CQ-18T suits horizontal rack setups better and is praised for ease of use in home studios, despite less flexibility than M32C.
Source -
Using Monitor LR as FOH output is feasible for simple setups, but caution when soloing is advised as it could interfere with the PA sound.
Source -
The M32C is valued for its compactness in creating a portable multimedia rig capable of multitrack recording and mixing IEMs for performers via phone control.
Source
Software and compatibility
-
With the M32C, the Dante expansion card can be used for 32-track recording and routing, though it requires compatible devices at the venue.
Source -
The M32C's audio engine is limited to 48kHz sample rate, even when interfacing with higher sample rate equipment such as RME, Ferrofish, or Dante networks.
Source -
Users exploring a 96kHz recording setup with the M32C suggest using a Klark Teknik DN9650 or DN9652 for sample rate conversion in a Dante network environment.
Source -
Using the M32C in a Dante network with mixed sample rates may require additional equipment for sample rate conversion to ensure compatibility with other devices.
