What's New

This update makes it easier to stay organized during a performance—MCA filters let you see only the channels you're actually working with, and the app now remembers your mixer's IP address so you don't have to hunt for it each time.

Version 2.2 ·  · 35.0 MBLatest

The latest release adds MCA filters to cut through clutter, remembers your last mixer connection automatically, and preserves your settings when you switch between mixers. These refinements keep your focus on the mix itself rather than app housekeeping.

X32-Q is a remote monitor mixing app for the BEHRINGER X32 Digital Mixer that lets band members and engineers control their own in-ear mix from a connected device. Running X32-Q on a desktop or laptop keeps your mixer interface permanently visible while you manage other tasks: no need to keep picking up a phone or tablet during a session. You connect to the same wireless network as your X32 console, then access all 32 input channels, assign them to Mix Control Association faders, and adjust levels in real time from your computer screen.

X32-Q transforms personal monitor control by moving the mixing interface from a handheld device to a stationary computer. While the app was designed for Android and iOS devices, running it on a PC through an Android emulator creates a stable, always-on mixing environment. Musicians and sound engineers can set up X32-Q at a workstation beside their main mixing desk, keeping the monitor mix visible and accessible throughout a rehearsal or performance without juggling multiple screens.

Core Features for Monitor Mixing

X32-Q provides direct control over the BEHRINGER X32's monitoring capabilities. The app works through the following sequence during a typical mixing session:

  1. Connect your computer to the same wireless network as your X32 console and launch X32-Q
  2. Select which mix bus (stereo or mono) you want to use for personal monitoring
  3. Assign any of the 32 input channels to one of four Mix Control Association faders for grouped control
  4. Adjust individual channel levels or use MCAs to trim multiple channels at once with a single fader
  5. Meter all input channel levels in real time to confirm signal presence across your mix
  6. Control auxiliary returns and effects returns feeding into the selected mix bus

Customizing Your Workspace on Desktop

Running X32-Q on a PC gives you the option to keep the app open alongside other software (your digital audio workstation, email, or spreadsheet) without closing and reopening windows. You can nickname each Mix Control Association group for quick recognition on stage: more me, less band, more click track. The app displays stereo-linked channels and indicates which monitor buses are active, helping you stay oriented during rapid mix changes. Unlike a mobile device, a desktop setup lets you maintain the connection and leave the interface visible throughout your entire session, eliminating the need to unlock, launch, and reconnect each time you want to make an adjustment.

Multi-User Control and Flexibility

The app supports multiple devices connecting to the same X32 console simultaneously, allowing every band member or monitor engineer to pull their own mix independently. There is no hard-coded limit on the number of users, so your entire band can have control if needed. Each person gets access to all 32 channels, panorama sliders for stereo aux buses, and full feedback on signal levels. Running X32-Q for Windows PC or other desktop environments positions one station as a central hub where a primary engineer can oversee and adjust if needed while others manage their personal mixes from their phones or tablets.

Setup and Connection

Getting X32-Q for computer use requires only a wireless network shared with your X32 console; no additional hardware or software purchase is necessary beyond the free app. Installation is straightforward: connect to the network, open the app, and connect to your mixer. The simplicity of this setup makes it practical for live events, studio sessions, and rehearsals where you may not have consistent access to the same mobile device. Running X32-Q on PC keeps your mixing control on a stationary machine that doesn't drain battery, lock its screen, or require manual reconnection after each break.

FAQ

Can I use X32-Q on my desktop computer?

X32-Q is designed for Android and iOS devices, but you can run it on a PC through an Android emulator. This keeps the app permanently open on your workstation while you work on other tasks.

How many people can control the monitor mix at once?

X32-Q supports multiple users simultaneously. There is no hard limit on the number of devices that can connect to the same X32 console, allowing each band member or engineer to manage their own monitor mix independently.

What do I need to set up X32-Q?

You need a BEHRINGER X32 Digital Mixer, a device running X32-Q, and a wireless network connection. No additional hardware or computer software is required: the app communicates directly with your mixer over the network.

Can I use MCAs to control multiple channels at once?

Yes. Mix Control Association faders let you assign any combination of the 32 input channels to a single fader, allowing you to trim multiple channels' levels simultaneously. You can name each MCA group for quick recognition during performance.

Do I get visual feedback of signal levels while mixing?

X32-Q meters all input channel levels in real time, giving you visual confirmation that your channels are receiving signal. You can also monitor auxiliary return and effects return levels for the mix bus you are controlling.

What happens if my device loses network connection?

If your connection drops, X32-Q will disconnect from the X32 console. You'll need to reconnect by ensuring your device is on the same wireless network and re-entering the connection details in the app.
