Essential Information About the Behringer S32 Digital Stage Box
- 32 mic/line inputs on XLR with fully programmable MIDAS designed preamps.
- 16 outputs on XLR, plus 2 digital stereo outputs AES/EBU, ADAT optical outputs, and ULTRANET network for P16.
- Reliable connection via 2 AES50 ports (KLARK TEKNIK SuperMAC technology) and direct daisy-chaining of a second S32 without a router.
- Full integration with the X32, CAT5e cable up to 100 m, "Mute-all-inputs" function to mute all inputs with one click.
At the Heart of the X32 Ecosystem, with MIDAS Preamps Heritage
Designed for live sound reinforcement, the
S32 replaces analog multicore cables between stage and FOH with a robust
AES50 link. It natively integrates with the
X32 control surface and features
MIDAS designed preamps, ensuring transparency, precise gain, and instant stage recall for quick artist changes.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for tours, theaters, corporate events, houses of worship, and mobile studios, the S32 centralizes on-stage audio and reduces cable lengths. Sound engineers and operators benefit from remote control from the console, flexible patching, and personal monitoring via
ULTRANET for musicians.
Key Features for Smooth Shows
Simplified Networking and Deployment
With its two
AES50 ports, the S32 provides the main connection to the console and daisy-chaining of a second stage box without adding a router. The
100 m CAT5e range facilitates setup on large stages and complex venues.
Versatile Digital Connections
The
AES/EBU digital outputs on XLR and
ADAT ports (channels 17-24 and 25-32) extend possibilities to processors, recorders, or external converters, while the
ULTRANET network directly powers a P16 personal monitoring system.
Control, Safety, and Maintenance
The S32 offers
MIDI In/Out for controlling MIDI devices on stage, a
USB port for saving presets and performing updates, and the
"Mute-all-inputs" function to instantly mute all inputs during stage changes.
