I'll be installing an M32 in my club shortly: would this be a good thread to ask questions about it? Specifically, about setting up DCAs and groups, also about tap delays? Or is there a better/more appropriate thread I should ask on?
As to X32 issues: When you sell 100 times as many consoles as the competition, 1/10 the failure rate is still 10 times as many failures.
Euph, may I ask for some details about your Raspberry Pi external monitor? I remember seeing a post about it somewhere, but can't seem to find it.
I feel like that would be a very useful tool to have!
For me, it's that when faders are tied, you have to remember not to try to move both of them -- but this happens on my LS9 as well. Our M32 is 3 years old now and hasn't lost a fader yet. That said, the faders are actually both cheap and easily available, and easy to replace -- there's a complete teardown video on Youtube.Not trying to be a total Behringer slam here, I don't own an M32 for comparison. I will echo what others have said about the reliability. We've had an X32 in our church for just over 2 years. In those two years, we've lost two motorized faders. We were well warned by the seller that "if you have your finger on the fader when the motor moves it, the fader will strip out!" Now I'm not certain of the circumstances of losing those two faders, but I can tell you on my Yamaha M7, if you have your finger on the fader when it moves, well, it moves your finger out of the way! The M7 is going on 8 years old and all the faders still work great! (Just to be clear, the faders on the X32 still work manually, they just don't move any more
Possibly, but this is actually largely due to your *adapter*. It expects a 3 conductor 3.5, which is standard, rather than a 4 conductor one, which is not, really. Find the right adapter, and you shouldn't have a problem. Or, y'know, buy a pair of DT-770's.One other small annoyance we've noticed on the Behringer personal mixers is that if someone uses Apple style earbuds with Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve they don't get consistent stereo on the Behringer personal mixers. Again, not a problem on our Avioms.
Yes, they're cheap; yes, a small church can get into a "digital" console for a reasonable price point. In a venue like ours where the console is often being run by volunteers, I would certainly recommend paying the additional dollars and get into a system with more reliability. (Again, not to derail the original topic of this post, I don't know if the M32 is more reliable than the X32, but I would hope for the additional dollars you're getting better pre's as well as better reliability.)
Wasn't there an issue with the early units which was later fixed?Most likely, the rubber belts on the faders have slipped off the pulleys. Losing belts indicates that someone has been misusing the faders.

In my mind I have yet to see a real M/X32 killer from a competitor, is there one with a similar price point?
The riders I get try hard to avoid the x32 but when the engineer walks in, he has his show on a thumb drive.
If my early generation x32 ever starts giving me problems it would likely be replaced by a M32. Primarily to ease the B prejudice of visiting artist's. Yes a 10 year warranty makes that choice look even better.
Looks like a new contender may be stepping up to meet the m/x32 challenge.
