Plus if say I was still a Gear Pimp and for example my buddy War catches me breaking Behringers MAP, I might have a proof he broke DBX.40-Input, 25-Bus Rack-Mountable Digital Mixing Console with 16 Programmable MIDAS Preamps, 17 Motorized Faders, 32-Channel Audio Interface and iPad/iPhone* Remote Control. You need a Lawyer to read and understand what you can and can't do under Each MAP and for years I would spend time with our CFO who was an MBA, CPA and lawyer figuring out what we could do and couldn't do!Įverybody knows who's doing what and dealers tend to self police, everybody makes mistakes. MAP can also change for a limited time, say GC buys a truckload of X32s, Behringer lowers The X32 MAPįor everybody for 3 months But everybody else paid more than the TEMP MAP for the X32s they have and there are no more in country.Īs a dealer you can match GC and lose $$ or You discontinue the product, hold stock and or not order any more till the temporary MAP is done! Every other dealer in the US no longer has to follow MAP ! If The Offender isn't cut off.Įxceptions to Standard MAP can be part of the MAP or Granted for special promotions. They get cut off, Behringer is to valuable of a line to lose.ī. GC would not break MAP ! They do one of 2 things happensĪ. I just can't buy the "sweetwater oops" part just yet. If it was a mistake, they sure would have fixed it by now. I contacted Sweetwater about it directly last night, and I got a generic response saying "we'll get back to you on this". I guess all I'm saying is that I'm pretty sure you couldn't tell us the entire truth do to company policies no matter WHAT it is, certainly not implying anything negative about you personally as you do wonderful work.
Everybody has all sorts of products that the company execs tell us about, yet don't actually exist on the front lines.and every product in the X32 series has a legacy of "not existing" for as long or longer than they actually HAVE existed. I know you're deep in the nerve center Joe, but us guys on the end only know what the vendors physically have for us these days. STOPS taking orders for the second best selling console on accident? I can't fathom that. And now the x32 compact as completely vanished from their site (except for an open box one).these are just a collection of accidents? The number one retailer in the U.S. Sweetwater's highly automated system automatically lists items as "in stock" or "arriving soon" when their inventory runs out, so this "we left this page in place for reference" page that appeared does not happen on accident. In the end, whether your needs are best met with an X32 Compact or one of the other models in the X32 family, the important part is that you are buying into a platform that not only delivers the features and performance of much more expensive consoles, and is also a platform that continues to evolve and grow. Ultimately, making several models with vastly different feature sets and user interfaces is more risky for a manufacturer, but it offers users the greatest range of choice for the way they work. The X32 Producer might be the right choice for someone in a studio environment or the Rack may be a better choice for a house of worship. The X32 Compact is the right choice for many users because of its size, while for others it's channel count. It's not just the same board scaled down, but rather several configurations to meet specific needs. The interest that has surrounded all of the X32 models speaks very much to the way the family has been imagined from the start.
The X32 Compact along with the full-sized X32 continue to lead the whole family with a full slate of features including motorized faders, LCD scribble strips and of course all of the I/O options you'd expect. To be perfectly clear, the X32 Compact is not at all discontinued and in fact has become the second best-selling console after the full-sized X32 at Thomann Cyberstore, Europe’s largest retailer. However once the limited stock is sold through, the situation will get back to normal. i hope he was not telling us misleading information.i bought one at the discount price anyway***Ī large US retailer has decided to launch a major campaign to buy market share by selling the X32 Compact at a very aggressive price point. = ***pasted below was a response or quote that was supposed to be official when the question came up in another thread.
I've held out for the rack mount variation to supplement my full size x32, and it would seem I wasn't alone in skipping this "medium" model. gone before the producer version even hit the shelves.
