Midas M32R Digital Console for Live and Studio

The Midas M32R LIVE is a compact, rack-mountable digital console that brings flagship Midas sound and workflow to both stage and studio. With up to 40 input channels, 16 award-winning Midas PRO mic preamps, 25 mix buses and integrated 32-track recording to dual SD cards or USB, it is built to handle everything from club gigs and tours to broadcast, houses of worship and hybrid studio setups.

Combining classic British console heritage with cutting-edge digital technology, the M32R LIVE delivers ultra-low latency, 40-bit floating-point processing and industry-leading 192 kHz converters for pristine audio at every stage of the signal path. Robust aluminium and steel construction, Midas PRO motor faders and an intuitive control surface mean it is ready for demanding professional use night after night.

Compact Console, Big-System Capability

M32R LIVE packs serious I/O and routing flexibility into a desktop/rack footprint. Up to 40 simultaneous input channels, 25 time-aligned and phase-coherent mix buses and 8 DCA groups let you handle complex shows with ease, while dual AES50 ports open the door to up to 96 inputs and 96 outputs via compatible stage boxes. Whether you are mixing front of house, monitors, broadcast feeds or stems for streaming, the console’s flexible bus architecture and powerful scene management keep even intricate productions under control.

Legendary Midas Sound

At the heart of the M32R LIVE are 16 genuine Midas PRO mic preamps, descended from the revered XL4 and HERITAGE 3000 consoles used by world-class artists for decades. Paired with premium 192 kHz-capable Cirrus Logic converters and a 40-bit floating-point mix engine, they deliver the warmth, depth and low noise that engineers associate with the Midas name. From subtle acoustic sets to high-SPL rock shows, the console captures every nuance while remaining clean, open and highly musical.

Integrated Multitrack Recording and DAW Control

The included Klark Teknik DN32-LIVE expansion module turns the M32R LIVE into a powerful live and studio recording hub. You can capture up to 32 channels of uncompressed WAV audio direct to dual SD/SDHC cards for computer-free recording, or use the 32 x 32 USB 2.0 interface for full multitrack integration with your DAW. HUI and Mackie Control emulation allow the console’s motor faders and transport controls to double as a tactile control surface, making it just as at home in the studio as it is at front of house.

Fast, Intuitive Workflow

M32R LIVE is designed so that both analogue veterans and digital natives feel immediately comfortable. A dedicated channel strip section, 5 inch daylight-viewable TFT display, illuminated encoders and 17 Midas PRO motor faders put key functions at your fingertips. Features such as Sends on Fader, DCA groups, View buttons, LCD scribble strips and powerful scene and cue management make it quick to navigate large mixes, build monitor sends and recall complex show setups with confidence.

Studio-Grade Effects and Acoustic Integration

Eight onboard stereo FX engines provide access to more than 50 studio-quality processors, including physically modelled classics inspired by revered compressors, equalisers, reverbs and enhancers. This virtual rack removes the need for bulky outboard while keeping latency ultra-low. The ULTRANET port enables direct connection to Turbosound iQ loudspeakers and POWERPLAY P16 personal monitoring systems, allowing streamlined digital distribution of audio and control over a single CAT5 cable for modern, tidy stage setups.
