I would not have bought this unit if the Behringer X32 Core would still be available. And though the X32 Rack is not much more expensive but offers way more functionality I still got the M32C due to its size and my specific use case. I use it in combination with a Midas HUB4 (and Midas DP48), so I can use the 16 outputs of the HUB4 to compensate for the missing outputs of the M32C. For inputs I use AES50 and the Behringer X-Dante card (which is cheaper than the Midas/KT card but works equally fine). So I have a mixer with 16 physical balanced outputs (and additional powered AES50 ports for my 4 personal mixers) - all in 2U. And if I really need more inputs/outputs I can still connect a Behringer or Midas stagebox via AES50 (or Ultranet for only outputs) to it. My original concern of loud fan noise and possible overheating in a small rack did not become reality. The unit is not noisy at all. One drawback with the built-in talkback mic: it is only 1/4' TRS (and not XLR as with the X32 RACK). The missing screen (in comparison with the X32 RACK) is ok in my case, as I use the app on the PC or MixingStation on Android and I hardly do any modifications except for adjusting the Routing (most of the time by loading scenes) and assinging Channels to DP48 groups (via Library). The first firmware update was a little tricky, as the documentation did not work for me (maybe I misread something). But it worked in the end with powering the box with a USB stick inserted. As the expansion slot is occupied with the X-Dante card, I use a Klark Teknik DN9630 AES50 to USB converter to re-gain the missing USB functionality. I still find the mixer quite pricey (as in there seems to be no specific higher-end Midas technology in it like Midas pre-amps). But the smaller size made the difference for me. I now have a DANTE/AES50/USB enabled IEM rack with power conditioner, 4 stereo transmitters, antenna combiner, 16port PoE+ network switch, wireless router, HUB4 and a M32C mixer - all in 4U. With the X32 Rack the case would have been 6U. Very satisfied for what I was trying to accomplish with my IEM rack. But in other cases I would rather go for a Behringer X32 Rack (which I did for my FOH rack).
