Midas M32C Overview
Designed for live sound and recording, the Midas M32C is a 40-input, 25-bus digital mixing console, featuring the same brain as the flagship M32 and packs it all into a high-performance aluminum and steel 1 RU form factor.
Combine the M32C with the Midas DL16 or DL32 stage boxes (sold separately) to effortlessly run sound with high I/O counts in multiple remote locations. The dual AES50 networking Cat 5 connectors allow for up to 96 remote inputs and 48 output channels to be controlled from and processed by the M32C. All controls are managed from instances of the free remote control software applications, M32-EDIT, M32-MIX, and M32-Q.

Acoustic Integration
Legendary 40-year old British company Turbosound, famous for producing some of the world's best speaker systems, have teamed up with Midas to seamlessly integrate mixer and speaker systems. We call it Acoustic Integration.
The M32C's ULTRANET bus allows streaming up to 16 channels of pristine digital audio to an array of Turbosound iQ speakers, all on a single Cat 5 cable, and with control data to set sound presets remotely.
Furthermore, iQ Series loudspeakers feature true physical modeling of some of the most popular speakers, which can be easily remote controlled via the M32C, allowing the sound engineer to apply different speaker models in real time from the comfort of the mixing desk.
100-Band RTA for All Channel/Bus EQs
The M32C includes a 100-band Real Time Analyzer (RTA) with full Bar and Spectrograph views on the M32-EDIT control application. This high-resolution RTA displays the audio energy distribution in 100 frequency bands over time, capturing a sonogram window of a full 10 seconds.
Switch between the Large RTA view—displaying any available signal in full screen resolution, or the Combined view—the RTA view shown above each of the channel and bus EQ curves.
See the results of your filtering choices in the audio spectrum directly. Additionally, the RTA can be displayed on top of the 31-band graphic EQs in the FX rack.
What are AES50 and SuperMAC?
AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely low and deterministic latencies, accurate phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, with simple deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of the live performance industry.
This unique combination also benefits both live and studio recording applications, as well as postproduction, broadcasting and audio routing infrastructure. SuperMAC is a proprietary implementation of AES50 owned by Klark Teknik. Originally developed by Sony Pro-Audio Labs in Oxford, UK, it forms the basis of the Audio Engineering Society’s AES50 open standard for digital audio networking—High Resolution Multichannel Audio Interconnection (HRMAI), as published by the Audio Engineering Society, Inc.
