X32 Compact : Prefer X32Compact above M32R - Good workflow, noisy preamps - needs a Midas DL32

I prefer the workflow of the X32Compact above the Midas M32R. There are more buttons for direct access, and they are where you need them. Instead of on the Midas they are in one lump under the display. Also the display is bigger on the X32C. The preamps in the Behrs are ok, but a bit noisy. Midas DL32 stagebox give me the best of two with far better preamps and the best workflow on a compact mixer.

The physical size is compared between the Behr and the Midas are slightly in favor of Midas, but not so important when it pairs with the better workflow on the X32C.

I added a Dante card to my order, so feel I have gotten the best setup for a compact mixer that I can think of for live mixing.

There are limitations in the design that one needs to assess, when comparing tp other brands of small digital mixers. But for me, the sweeter sound of Midas preamps still soar above more options.

As of quality, nearly half a million sold X32´s says it all. They are work horses, and I have dragged several of them on multiple jobs with no problems.
