Behringer sympathy

I’m just sad that my X32 Rack has died (again)! It did do 24/7 in a smoky bar for at least 5yrs and the same for 3yrs at home.

All channels pulsing with full scale square wave goodness, which probably frightened the speakers more than me, then sudden death (for the rack). 
 

 

Not sure about parts at the mo, especially around here, so may have to get the soldering iron out tomorrow!

The X32/rack is a great digital mixer.  Unloaded mine in mint condition a year or so ago. 

 

I would have kept that X32 Rack had I known a fellow forumite was using and blew one up. 🤣

 

I replaced the X32 Rack with a QSC TouchMix 16 last year. I still haven't taken the QSC out of the box yet.😁😎

Our band did the opposite, replaced a touchmix with the xr18.  Basically due to the smaller rack form factor, though I prefer the touchmix simply because it has more aux sends (we all get stereo in-ears if we want them!).  I do use a P16m though, my first one died but Sweetwater replaced it, so I still get stereo monitors as long as we use our mixer.

I love the thing, I’d probably buy another one if I lost this one. Got it set up 22 analog ins, 16 returns from the Mac back into channels 17-32 for monitors/headphone mixes etc, compact enough once it’s in a rack, flexible routing etc etc…

 

This is the third time it’s gone. PSU problems have been well documented over the years.

 

I’ve got an XR18 for live, but it’s all cabled up in its own rack and don’t fancy undoing everything. So, the little iConnectivity Audio2+ is out for now. Fine for the couple of jobs I’ve got to do this week. 
 

I’ve used a TouchMix once live, sounded more than fine, I just hated the interface. But, maybe that’s unfair, I did only try it once!
