Midas M32C Digital Rack Mixer

Legendary Midas Processing in a Streamlined 1U Core

The Midas M32C packs the processing core of the flagship M32 digital mixing console into a high-performance 1U rackmount chassis. Engineered for mixing engineers, touring crews, broadcast production, and fixed venue installations, it provides 40 input channels and 25 time-aligned, phase-coherent mix buses without compromising on digital power. By pairing the M32C with Midas stage boxes such as the DL16 or DL32, audio professionals can run high I/O counts across remote stage locations with total digital control.

Ultra-Low Latency AES50 Networking
Designed for demanding live sound and recording environments, the M32C features dual AES50 network ports with Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology. This system delivers up to 96 remote input and output channels over standard shielded CAT5e cabling with a 0.8 ms console processing engine and 1.1 ms total network latency. The result is phase-aligned, sample-accurate clock distribution that satisfies strict in-ear monitoring requirements while maintaining total signal transparency.

Studio-Grade Virtual FX Racks
Eliminating the need for bulky outboard racks, the M32C contains eight true-stereo DSP effects engines running inside its low-latency 40-bit floating-point architecture. These processing algorithms feature true physical modelling of iconic analogue studio gear, including the Teletronix LA-2A, Urei 1176LN, Fairchild 670, and Pultec EQP-1a. Engineers gain access to pristine reverberation, dynamic compression, and surgical equalisation on any channel or bus.

Expandable Architecture and Remote Workflow
At the centre of a modern audio infrastructure, the M32C includes a pre-installed 32 x 32 USB 2.0 interface card alongside an open expansion slot. This slot accommodates optional Klark Teknik cards for seamless integration into Dante, MADI, and ADAT networks, or Waves SoundGrid plugin processing. System navigation and mix adjustments are fully manageable via Ethernet using free remote control software, including M32-EDIT, M32-MIX for iPad, and M32-Q for iOS and Android.
