And they are also releasing 4 other versions of the X32, two smaller normal mixers with 16mic preamps and faders and stuff, and two rackmounted units, one that is just a processor without any preamps or even outputs (it has monitor/headphone outs) so needs atleast one of their digital snakes, and one full rackmounted mixer with 16 micpres, 8 outs and 6line in/outs.
I personally would love a rackmounted solution like their X32 Core, but that hade atleast 6-8 outs, so it could be mounted in a rack with say the monitor amps, and then just run 2xlrs to the FoH amp rack, and then use a digital snake somewhere on the stage. One could do that with the X32 Rack, and if one has the amp racks on stage/very close to the stage, it would work fine without a snake. But if one uses a snake, then you have 16 "wasted" mic pres that you had to pay for
If you could then use either an ipad or something like a mixer surface but without and actual audio in it as an controllsurface, then it would be nice:)
I´d also prefer that they made a version more like the A&H GLD80 or iLive series, a mixer with faders and knobs, but only a very limited number of onboard ins and outs, so that one always uses a digital snake, and not having to pay for unused mic preamps and not having them take up space in the mixer itself. They kinda do that with the X32 Compact and Produser, but still to high I/O count in my opinion;)
