Digital Snake With Midas Preamps for Pro-Level Clarity

The S32 is equipped with 32 Midas-designed mic preamps known for their low noise, high headroom and transparent sound. These preamps accurately capture everything from delicate vocals to punchy drums without added coloration. With remote gain control via compatible mixers, you can fine-tune every input directly from front-of-house or the control room. For clean, consistent signal flow in any environment, this digital snake delivers.

Digital Snake With Dual AES50 Ports for Flexible Expansion

Need to scale up? The S32 includes dual AES50 ports using SuperMAC technology, enabling ultra-low latency digital networking. Expand your system to 96 input and 96 output channels when connected to compatible gear. Built-in redundancy adds peace of mind for mission-critical shows, and the high-speed communication ensures reliable performance even in the most demanding live setups.

Remote-Controlled Digital Snake for Streamlined Workflows

When used with the Behringer X32 or other compatible mixers, the S32 offers full remote control over preamps, phantom power and channel routing. This eliminates the need for manual stage adjustments and accelerates setup time. Ultranet support adds compatibility with Behringer's P16 personal monitoring system, giving performers onstage control over their own mixes without additional gear or routing headaches.

Durable Digital Snake Built for the Road

Housed in a rugged metal chassis, the S32 is designed to handle touring conditions and live production demands. Neutrik XLR connectors offer secure, professional-grade I/O while the internal components are built to withstand long-term use. Whether you're packing it into a flight case or mounting it in a permanent install, this digital snake holds up to whatever your workflow demands.
