The Midas M32R LIVE is a future-forward console that completely raises the bar for live mixing.
While the Midas M32R LIVE's design, styling, and construction will surely turn a lot of heads, it’s the sound that matters most to engineers and performing artists.
And that’s where M32R LIVE shines even brighter – as the latest in a long line of pristine-sounding Midas consoles, it descends from a celebrated lineage that literally set the standard in electrical design and sound quality.
Ever since Midas consoles first found fame 40 years ago with acts like Billy Joel, Yes, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd and others, the Midas legacy has always been about uncompromising quality and the ultimate in sound reproduction.
Backing the analogue input section are audiophile Cirrus Logic multi-channel 192 kHz capable A/D converters, which boast a 114 dB dynamic range, ensuring impressively low distortion and low noise performance.
The M32R LIVE is a console built for today, and tomorrow – its rock-solid proprietary operating system and the 0.8 ms audio engine provide outstanding state-of-the-art audio performance for years to come.
The Midas mic preamp is considered by leading live sound and recording engineers to be the very essence of the famous Midas sound.
More than 40 years of design experience paired with the finest choice of premium-grade components lead to the acclaimed warmth and depth, bring out subtle ambience, maintain spatial positioning, and more effectively capture a precise image.
The acclaimed sound of the award-winning Midas microphone preamplifier has inspired generations of live sound engineers to their best work, creating sonic landscapes that have captivated audiences worldwide.
The Midas preamplifier design eliminates typical imbalances of gain-setting stages, thereby improving the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and harmonic distortion to an almost immeasurable level.
The constant high-frequency bandwidth topology assures excellent stability, RF rejection and noise performance at all gain levels, contributing to its transparent, open and dynamic sound.
But it doesn’t end there, over the years many mix engineers have found that this robust and overload-tolerant design takes on a whole new dimension of sound when driven hard, the pristine audiophile reproduction giving way to just the right combination of harmonics, a warm and organic sound heard by millions of concertgoers and recorded for posterity on countless live albums over the years.
Since pristine sound always begins with the microphone preamplifier, the first point where your signal enters the console, the M32R LIVE features genuine Midas microphone preamplifiers, which faithfully reproduce every sonic detail so no part of a performance will ever be missed.
Transparent and pristine sound, low noise and high common-mode rejection are all hallmarks of this classic design.
The microphone preamplifiers are the very same ones used in the industry standard Midas XL4 and HERITAGE 3000 consoles, which many consider to be the greatest analogue live consoles ever built.
Over the past decade, the XL4 and HERITAGE 3000 have been utilised by countless top artists including Bon Jovi, Alanis Morrisette, AC/DC, Coldplay, Kid Rock, Metallica, Alicia Keys, Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera, Sir Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, and many more.
The M32R LIVE draws from this same legacy to bring you an elite professional level of audio quality and performance.
The Midas M32R LIVE offers 32 channels of recording and playback, thanks to a pre-installed Klark Teknik DN32-LIVE.
This expansion module gives you over three hours of 32-channel, 32-bit/48 kHz recording on dual SD cards. Beyond that, a sample-accurate spanning feature can extend a session across both SD cards for more than 12 hours of 8-track recording.
You can also record direct to your computer via USB.
Capture multi channel audio, perform virtual soundchecks, add backing tracks, set and manipulate markers, and more. You also get remote operation via your computer, smart device, or control surface.

40 years of relentless research, development with 300 of the world’s best engineers plus complete control over the manufacturing process.
This is what powers the M32R LIVE.
Above all, the M32R LIVE is designed to put the power of digital in your hands, without compromise.
Midas’ singular focus on a matchless value proposition means the M32R LIVE integrates advanced features such as motorised faders, LCD scribble strips, integrated personal monitor mixing and true high-speed digital audio networking as standard features.
The Midas M32R LIVE is your “mind-to-sound” interface – the intersection of creativity and production.
Whether you’re accustomed to digital mixers or not, the M32R LIVE’s intuitive user interface offers a fluid mixing experience that instantly feels like home.
From the first moments of use, the workflow unfolds in a way that strips away obstacles, distractions, and hesitation.
The M32R LIVE Channel Strip puts the most important channel processing parameters into one section so that no matter which channel you are working on, the controls are always the same.
This highly-efficient layout stems from Midas decades of console design and input from our users. Optimised control illumination ensures a clear indication of levels or status from any viewing angle.
Illuminated rotary encoders and switches give you control of preamp settings, frequency shelving, dual dynamics sections, as well as multi-mode fully parametric EQ, bus sends, main, mono and stereo panning.
M32R LIVE’s 5" day-viewable color TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) display shows the setting parameters you need when you need them.
Selected for its high-contrast performance and outdoor visibility, TFT is ideal for concert and open air festival venues.
Flanked by high-precision, context-sensitive tactile encoders, the screen comes to life and immediately reports in high definition all adjustments applied to a wide range of parameters.
Intelligent design puts control of vital functions such as Effects, Metering, Routing and much more 1 or 2 button presses away.
The M32R LIVE brings the convenience of digital mixing to your Aux and output bus mixes too, thanks to its integrated Sends on Fader feature.
This incredible function allows you to build powerful, dedicated sub-mixes for monitor, secondary zone feeds, and much more – all without affecting the front of house mix or levels.
The M32R LIVE allows you to send your choice of signals to any Aux or output bus and then dial in the perfect mix via the channel faders. The console remembers where you set the faders and instantly recalls them when you select a bus for quick adjustments.
Across the Midas M32R LIVE you’ll find 11 strategically placed View buttons associated with various functions. These buttons enable immediate access to information about that specific function.
For instance, if you press the View button in the Equaliser section, information for that channel’s EQ is instantly shown on the main display, providing in-depth editing of all related parameters.
This direct access to visual fine-tuning gives the engineer a level of control previously available only on consoles costing exponentially more.

For instance, if you press the View button in the Equaliser section, information for that channel’s EQ is instantly shown on the main display, providing in-depth editing of all related parameters.
The M32R LIVE includes a 100-band Real Time Analyser (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.
You can switch between the large RTA view to display any available signal at full screen resolution, or the combined view, which displays the RTA view above each of the channel and bus EQ curves. This feature lets you 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.
Monitoring and controlling frequencies has never been easier!
We’ve included 16 breathtaking FX “Plug-Ins” in the M32R LIVE, giving you access to a total of 50+ effects that would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars in hardware.
This generation of high-end FX “Plug-Ins” is based on True Physical Modelling of classic audio hardware.
We essentially “rebuilt” classic analogue gear in the digital domain and included models of legendary processors such as Urei’s 1176, Teletronix LA-2A and Fairchild 670 compressors as well as the legendary Pultec EQP-1a and EQ5 equalisers.
We also included a cutting-edge 5-band multiband compressor.
Gain Split mode separates channel gain (trim) from the head amp gain, allowing both the FOH and/or the monitor engineer to adjust local trim digitally – and independently of the preamp gain.
Additionally, the HA Gain Remote option allows console gains to be remotely controlled by an external console, such as when using the M32R LIVE as a stage box.
The M32R LIVE’s routing is extremely robust and flexible. Output signals and XLR outputs are now treated separately, allowing signals from AES50 sources or expansion cards to be routed directly to the M32R LIVE’s analogue outputs.
For example, you can use the outputs from an M32R LIVE for directly routing back PA or monitoring signals from a main or FOH console. Plus, output tap points can be set as pre or post mute for greater usability with your P16 personal monitoring mixers.
This is very useful in situations where you don’t want mute groups to interrupt your signal flow.
The Midas M32R LIVE’s Cue List provides an innovative way to automate the loading of scenes and “Snippets” at different points during a show. Each of the 500 Cue entries can load any of the 100 Scenes or Snippets separately or at the same time.
This gives you an amazing total of 500 Cues x 100 Scenes x 100 Snippets!
For example, store your favourite EQ settings for drums on channels 1 - 8 as a Snippet, re-callable in an instant as its own preset, completely independent of the console’s overall scene.
It’s like taking a snapshot of a parameter on an input, return, FX slot, bus, Matrix, Main, or DCA group – and saving it for quick access whenever you need it.
In our pursuit to lead the industry in every possible aspect, we decided to design the world’s most reliable motor fader.
We dove deep into materials science, employing semi-precious metals that offered the durability we desired.
We took painstaking care to design a motorised fader that would provide continuous performance night after night, year after year.
After spending a great deal of time working with metal vendors, we developed precision components that offer high linearity, robustness, and smooth feel during operation. We needed ultra-straight high-grade steel guide rods with smooth polished surfaces – and we got them.
We worked closely with our manufacturing partners to maintain the tolerance of our parts, always choosing the most suitable materials and controlling the processes to ensure consistent moulding quality and eliminating the warping and deformation caused by shrinking as the parts cool.
True, none of this was easy - we spent many long hours developing the Midas PRO FADER design. However the results speak for themselves.
Midas PRO FADERS are rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles – three times that of other leading manufacturers.
A total of 17 programmable LCD Scribble Strips offer channel/bus identification that mirrors what is being controlled.
Use them to enter input/output tags, plus add icons you recognise at a glance. Then assign colours to create visual groups for immediate, on-the-fly recognition of similar inputs.
Simple, elegant and effective – plus you’ll never need masking tape again.
The Midas M32R LIVE includes an extensive array of on-board effects, rendering outboard processing racks a thing of the past. The Virtual FX rack features 8 true-stereo, studio-grade effects engines each assignable to any input, group or output mix bus.
Choose from high-end FX modules including a range of reverbs, delays, EQ's, dynamics and much more.
Each FX algorithm has been completely re-imagined for stunning performance – typically costing several times the price of the M32R LIVE.
Custom-designed, and physically modelled after some of the most iconic and sought-after processors, all effects run inside the low-latency environment of the M32R LIVE mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing and the end of cable faults forever!
Each Midas M32R LIVE comes loaded with all of the connectivity, I/O and functionality you need, right out of the box – but it doesn’t end there.
On-board USB 2.0 connectivity delivers a full 32 x 32 channels of audio and MIDI to your DAW.
Integrated multi-channel digital audio interfaces connect to remote stage boxes and/or the P16 Personal Monitor System.
Native Ethernet control enables remote operation by computer, iPad or iPhone over a wired or wireless network, across the room – or across the planet!
Dual AES50 network ports featuring Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology support up to 96 inputs and 96 outputs over shielded (STP) CAT5 cable, allowing remote stage boxes and sharing signals among several connected M32R LIVEs and other Midas, Klark Teknik and AES50-equipped products.
On-board ULTRANET provides a 16-channel digital mix direct to P16 Personal Monitor Mixers, without added hardware, cost or latency. Ethernet, USB and MIDI are all standard features on M32R LIVE.
An additional expansion slot is also included, so that the M32R LIVE can connect to current and future digital audio networks and link protocols via a wide range of expansion cards including USB, ADAT, MADI and Audinate Dante.

The M32R LIVE supports both 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates at 24-BIt, allowing you to record up to 32 tracks of live audio directly to your computer for mixing down later.
Take advantage of the M32R LIVE’s built-in FX engines to augment your DAW’s plug-in collection, or to free up valuable computer resources.
M32R LIVE’s recall capability makes it easy for both project and professional studio engineers to stay organised by storing projects as scenes, either internally or externally on a USB stick.
The M32R LIVE’s expansion slot provides flexible and expandable connectivity for many different applications.
A wide array of Klark Teknik expansion cards can easily be used in place of the pre-installed DN32-USB card to release the power of M32R LIVE into existing MADI, Dante and ADAT networks.
Fully compatible with these widely available audio protocols, the M32R LIVE delivers a seamless integration in digital live sound, recording and broadcast environments.
The DN32-LIVE SD/SDHC and USB 2.0 Expansion Module for Midas M32 and Behringer X32 mixers provides 32-channel of bidirectional audio I/O via USB 2.0 for both live performance and studio recording, plus comprehensive remote operation of your DAW via HUI/Mackie Control emulation.
Dual SD/SDHC slots allow fully independent recording/playback of up to 32 channels of uncompressed .wav files in consistent sessions – to capacity of the SD cards.
Now even without a computer, you can capture multi-channel live or session tracks, perform virtual sound checks, add backing tracks, set and manipulate markers, and enjoy full remote operation via PC, Android or iPad apps, and X-TOUCH control surfaces.
Thanks to its on-board MIDI ports, the M32R LIVE console can function as a high-level, large-format control surface, similar to Mackie Control and HUI, and integrates seamlessly with most popular DAW platforms.
The M32R LIVE’s motorised faders can be used to send position information to the onscreen DAW faders, while each bus’ mute and solo buttons control their onscreen counterparts.
This powerful control surface relationship, which functions bidirectionally between the M32R LIVE and your DAW, allows you to work more quickly and attend to the finer nuances of the overall mix.
After all, mixing with your hands puts you in “touch” with your project, providing a level of finesse that can mean the difference between a good recording session – and a work of art!
Or, would you rather use a mouse?
Just as in life, you can never have too many connections – and this applies to controlling the console itself.
Simply connect the M32R LIVE to a laptop or desktop computer via LAN, wireless network or Ethernet cable, and take total remote command of the M32R LIVE. Move a fader on the PC, it moves on the M32R LIVE; press a button on the computer, the button toggles on the M32R LIVE.
The M32-EDIT app is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to use any MCU (Mackie Control Universal) compatible control surface to remotely control the M32R LIVE.
This feature provides an extremely-powerful and useful solution for side of stage monitor control, individual control of multiple installed M32R LIVEs, as well as multiple remote control stations of the same M32R LIVE. The M32-EDIT also lets you create scenes on your PC beforehand to minimise the time required for sound checks.
With the M32-EDIT software for PC, Mac and Linux, your computer becomes your virtual M32R LIVE.
Front of House is wherever you and your iPad are – thanks to the new M32 MIX App for iPad. Just plug in a wireless router via Ethernet cable to the M32R LIVE, and then wirelessly connect up to 10 iPad devices, which is especially handy for custom monitor mixes.

We essentially “rebuilt” classic analogue gear in the digital domain and included models of legendary processors such as Urei’s 1176, Teletronix LA-2A and Fairchild 670 compressors as well as the legendary Pultec EQP-1a and EQ5 equalisers.
We also included a cutting-edge 5-band multiband compressor.
Gain Split mode separates channel gain (trim) from the head amp gain, allowing both the FOH and/or the monitor engineer to adjust local trim digitally – and independently of the preamp gain.
Additionally, the HA Gain Remote option allows console gains to be remotely controlled by an external console, such as when using the M32R LIVE as a stage box.
The M32R LIVE’s routing is extremely robust and flexible. Output signals and XLR outputs are now treated separately, allowing signals from AES50 sources or expansion cards to be routed directly to the M32R LIVE’s analogue outputs.
For example, you can use the outputs from an M32R LIVE for directly routing back PA or monitoring signals from a main or FOH console. Plus, output tap points can be set as pre or post mute for greater usability with your P16 personal monitoring mixers.
This is very useful in situations where you don’t want mute groups to interrupt your signal flow.
The Midas M32R LIVE’s Cue List provides an innovative way to automate the loading of scenes and “Snippets” at different points during a show. Each of the 500 Cue entries can load any of the 100 Scenes or Snippets separately or at the same time.
This gives you an amazing total of 500 Cues x 100 Scenes x 100 Snippets!
For example, store your favourite EQ settings for drums on channels 1 - 8 as a Snippet, re-callable in an instant as its own preset, completely independent of the console’s overall scene.
It’s like taking a snapshot of a parameter on an input, return, FX slot, bus, Matrix, Main, or DCA group – and saving it for quick access whenever you need it.
In our pursuit to lead the industry in every possible aspect, we decided to design the world’s most reliable motor fader.
We dove deep into materials science, employing semi-precious metals that offered the durability we desired.
We took painstaking care to design a motorised fader that would provide continuous performance night after night, year after year.
After spending a great deal of time working with metal vendors, we developed precision components that offer high linearity, robustness, and smooth feel during operation. We needed ultra-straight high-grade steel guide rods with smooth polished surfaces – and we got them.
We worked closely with our manufacturing partners to maintain the tolerance of our parts, always choosing the most suitable materials and controlling the processes to ensure consistent moulding quality and eliminating the warping and deformation caused by shrinking as the parts cool.
True, none of this was easy - we spent many long hours developing the Midas PRO FADER design. However the results speak for themselves.
Midas PRO FADERS are rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles – three times that of other leading manufacturers.
A total of 17 programmable LCD Scribble Strips offer channel/bus identification that mirrors what is being controlled.
Use them to enter input/output tags, plus add icons you recognise at a glance. Then assign colours to create visual groups for immediate, on-the-fly recognition of similar inputs.
Simple, elegant and effective – plus you’ll never need masking tape again.
The Midas M32R LIVE includes an extensive array of on-board effects, rendering outboard processing racks a thing of the past. The Virtual FX rack features 8 true-stereo, studio-grade effects engines each assignable to any input, group or output mix bus.
Choose from high-end FX modules including a range of reverbs, delays, EQ's, dynamics and much more.
Each FX algorithm has been completely re-imagined for stunning performance – typically costing several times the price of the M32R LIVE.
Custom-designed, and physically modelled after some of the most iconic and sought-after processors, all effects run inside the low-latency environment of the M32R LIVE mix engine, ensuring flawless performance, flexible routing and the end of cable faults forever!
Each Midas M32R LIVE comes loaded with all of the connectivity, I/O and functionality you need, right out of the box – but it doesn’t end there.
On-board USB 2.0 connectivity delivers a full 32 x 32 channels of audio and MIDI to your DAW.
Integrated multi-channel digital audio interfaces connect to remote stage boxes and/or the P16 Personal Monitor System.
Native Ethernet control enables remote operation by computer, iPad or iPhone over a wired or wireless network, across the room – or across the planet!
Dual AES50 network ports featuring Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology support up to 96 inputs and 96 outputs over shielded (STP) CAT5 cable, allowing remote stage boxes and sharing signals among several connected M32R LIVEs and other Midas, Klark Teknik and AES50-equipped products.
On-board ULTRANET provides a 16-channel digital mix direct to P16 Personal Monitor Mixers, without added hardware, cost or latency. Ethernet, USB and MIDI are all standard features on M32R LIVE.
An additional expansion slot is also included, so that the M32R LIVE can connect to current and future digital audio networks and link protocols via a wide range of expansion cards including USB, ADAT, MADI and Audinate Dante.
A versatile powerhouse of a live console, the M32R LIVE also provides robust studio functionality. Record and play back up to 32 tracks which run on Windows operating systems or Mac computers via integrated USB 2.0 connectivity.
The M32R LIVE supports both 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates at 24-BIt, allowing you to record up to 32 tracks of live audio directly to your computer for mixing down later.
Take advantage of the M32R LIVE’s built-in FX engines to augment your DAW’s plug-in collection, or to free up valuable computer resources.
M32R LIVE’s recall capability makes it easy for both project and professional studio engineers to stay organised by storing projects as scenes, either internally or externally on a USB stick.
The M32R LIVE’s expansion slot provides flexible and expandable connectivity for many different applications.
A wide array of Klark Teknik expansion cards can easily be used in place of the pre-installed DN32-USB card to release the power of M32R LIVE into existing MADI, Dante and ADAT networks.
Fully compatible with these widely available audio protocols, the M32R LIVE delivers a seamless integration in digital live sound, recording and broadcast environments.
The DN32-LIVE SD/SDHC and USB 2.0 Expansion Module for Midas M32 and Behringer X32 mixers provides 32-channel of bidirectional audio I/O via USB 2.0 for both live performance and studio recording, plus comprehensive remote operation of your DAW via HUI/Mackie Control emulation.
Dual SD/SDHC slots allow fully independent recording/playback of up to 32 channels of uncompressed .wav files in consistent sessions – to capacity of the SD cards.
Now even without a computer, you can capture multi-channel live or session tracks, perform virtual sound checks, add backing tracks, set and manipulate markers, and enjoy full remote operation via PC, Android or iPad apps, and X-TOUCH control surfaces.
Thanks to its on-board MIDI ports, the M32R LIVE console can function as a high-level, large-format control surface, similar to Mackie Control and HUI, and integrates seamlessly with most popular DAW platforms.
The M32R LIVE’s motorised faders can be used to send position information to the onscreen DAW faders, while each bus’ mute and solo buttons control their onscreen counterparts.
This powerful control surface relationship, which functions bidirectionally between the M32R LIVE and your DAW, allows you to work more quickly and attend to the finer nuances of the overall mix.
After all, mixing with your hands puts you in “touch” with your project, providing a level of finesse that can mean the difference between a good recording session – and a work of art!
Or, would you rather use a mouse?
Just as in life, you can never have too many connections – and this applies to controlling the console itself.
Simply connect the M32R LIVE to a laptop or desktop computer via LAN, wireless network or Ethernet cable, and take total remote command of the M32R LIVE. Move a fader on the PC, it moves on the M32R LIVE; press a button on the computer, the button toggles on the M32R LIVE.
The M32-EDIT app is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to use any MCU (Mackie Control Universal) compatible control surface to remotely control the M32R LIVE.
This feature provides an extremely-powerful and useful solution for side of stage monitor control, individual control of multiple installed M32R LIVEs, as well as multiple remote control stations of the same M32R LIVE. The M32-EDIT also lets you create scenes on your PC beforehand to minimise the time required for sound checks.
With the M32-EDIT software for PC, Mac and Linux, your computer becomes your virtual M32R LIVE.
Front of House is wherever you and your iPad are – thanks to the new M32 MIX App for iPad. Just plug in a wireless router via Ethernet cable to the M32R LIVE, and then wirelessly connect up to 10 iPad devices, which is especially handy for custom monitor mixes.
The M32-MIX App lets you control all 32 mic inputs, 8 Aux inputs and 16 buses – plus the FX stereo returns and the Matrix, Main, and DCA levels.
Select a fader bank on the iPad, slide the virtual faders and the M32R LIVE’s motorised faders instantly mirror your action. Additionally, thanks to the Sends on Faders functionality, your iPad now controls 16 independent monitor mixes.
The M32-MIX App gives you the flexibility and mobility to make running sound a breeze!
