M32-Q for PC

You're mixing monitors from your phone mid-performance when a call comes in, or you need to step away from the console: suddenly your mix is inaccessible. M32-Q turns any Android device into a wireless monitor controller for the MIDAS M32 digital mixer, letting you adjust your personal mix from anywhere on the network. Each band member can control their own blend of all 32 input channels, group them into four faders for quick adjustments, and see real-time metering: no additional hardware or computer required.

M32-Q for Windows PC doesn't require a traditional computer installation in the way many apps do. Instead, you run it on Android devices already paired to your M32 console over the same wireless network. The core value for desktop users is positioning M32-Q as part of a larger live or studio setup: your phone or tablet becomes a dedicated monitor control surface sitting on a desk or stand beside your main mixing station, keyboard, or other open windows. You stay signed into the same network session, letting multiple band members adjust their mixes concurrently without touching the console itself.

Personal Monitoring Control Across All 32 Channels

M32-Q gives each user independent access to every input channel on the M32 mixer. You can boost vocals in your own mix while the drummer pulls up kick and bass, all from separate devices. The app meters input channel levels in real time, giving you visual feedback during performance. You choose which mix bus to route your monitor to, whether that's a stereo auxiliary bus or an effects return, and adjust send levels for all channels feeding that bus. This means a keyboard player can dial in exactly what they need to hear without the engineer having to step away from the main console.

Grouping Channels with MCA Faders

Instead of sliding 32 individual faders, you can assign any combination of inputs to one of four MCA (Mix Control Association) faders in M32-Q. A single fader then controls the level of every assigned channel at once. Nickname each MCA group on stage (vocals, drums, click track, band) so you instantly recognize which fader does what in the moment. This greatly simplifies live adjustments when you're focused on your performance and don't have time to hunt through dozens of channels. The app indicates stereo-linked channels and monitor buses, keeping you oriented when adjusting panorama or send levels.

No Limit to Simultaneous Users

M32-Q has no hard-coded user cap, so every band member can connect at the same time with their own Android device. Each person taps into the same wireless network and the same console, but each controls their own personal monitor mix independently. This is particularly useful in church, school, or club settings where musicians take turns or share in-ear monitor systems. One user's adjustments don't interfere with another's, and there's no waiting for control to pass back and forth. When you install M32-Q on PC paired with an Android phone, you're essentially running two control surfaces that both talk to the same mixer without collision.

Setup and Network Requirements

Getting M32-Q running on Android is straightforward: download the free app and connect your device to the same wireless network as your M32 console. The app supports Android 2.2 and higher, and works across various device sizes and display resolutions. There's no pairing code, no special routing, and no computer setup needed: as long as your phone or tablet can see the network, it can find and control the mixer. When launching on newer Samsung devices or after a phone reset, make sure the app is in landscape mode during its initial optimization to avoid display scaling issues that make sliders microscopic and unresponsive.
