As we reported last month, Behringer was getting ready to release the X32 Digital Mixing Console, and now it's available! There's a slew of features listed below that give all the details on this mixer. Features such as an onboard virtual FX rack with 8 true-stereo multi-effects processors (16 mono), plus 32 mic preamps which is quite an impressive amount.

One of the really standout features that I noticed was the high-contrast color TFT display, which is one of 8 control screens. This way you can still mix with your ears but also take a look at the big display to get an idea of where you are. It also just looks good, period!
