The Behringer X32 Compact puts the full X32 mix engine in a smaller desk. It has 32 input channels, 8 aux channels and 8 FX return channels. It also has 16 aux buses, 6 matrices and main LRC. On the surface there are 17 motorized faders, 17 channel LCD scribble strips and a 7-inch screen. Local I/O is 16 Midas-designed preamps and 8 XLR outputs. In addition, two AES50 ports take up to six S16 stage boxes. Showcaller AI runs the Behringer X32 Compact by voice or chat.

### How Showcaller connects to the X32 Compact

The Compact has a rear-panel Ethernet port for remote control. Showcaller uses it through the Showcaller Bridge App on the show network, with OSC on port 10023. It is the same port the X32-Edit and X32-Mix apps use. Then a request in plain words becomes a Tool Function call. For example, say **mute channel 12** or **bus 4 down 3 dB**. You can also say **name channel 7 Pastor** or **recall scene 8**. The [Behringer X32 and Midas M32 integration](/integrations/behringer-x32-midas-m32/) page lists every Tool Function.

### Scribble strips and preamps on the Behringer X32 Compact

The Compact’s 17 LCD scribble strips show channel names and colors. So when Showcaller renames a channel, the new name is on the strip. Renaming is on Starter, and strip colors are on Enterprise. Also, the 16 local XLR inputs are the Compact’s own preamps. On Pro, Showcaller sets and reads their gain and 48V phantom power. Phantom changes are confirmed with the operator first. Scene recall and save, and effects sends, are also confirmed before they are sent.

### Tool Functions by plan

Starter covers channel faders, mutes and names on channels 1 to 32. It also covers the main stereo output and the 16 mix buses, with each channel’s send to them. Pro adds the 8 DCA groups and preamp gain and phantom power. It also adds polarity, high-pass filter, channel EQ, gate and compressor. Enterprise adds effects sends and returns, strip colors and scenes 0 to 99. That matches the Compact’s 100 scenes.
