I can tell the difference audibly. Optically less.... The Midas is indeed cleaner and higher defined. Would I pay the extra money for the better pre-amps alone? Quite frankly... YES

Bruh less worrying about mixers and more about your actual voice audio jeeesssuuusss

All the components of the Midas are Brand components, with some quality. Behringer is just a cheap thing made from cheap components

This is like the most stupid thing i watched for a long time. Instead of this unworking unfitting pretty ugly stupidity - just leave them always on... it's safer that way.

M32 pre's are not pro series.

Appreciate this vid! Not only for your experiment, but it creates a place for discussion too, so theres a lot to learn. Really appreciate it man.

Yes they do. Problem solved 👍

Turn up the volume. You're in the mud.

Which is better for Line-Signals of Synth-Outputs?

It’s not doing justice to make a decision about a pre based on one-channel recording comparison. I don’t get why So many videos do this. You can run a single piece of audio through a million dollar ssl console and wouldn’t hear the difference if only listening to the single channel playback. Lol. No. You need multiple channels recorded, summed together, level balanced, EQ’d and boosted to more easily discern a difference. People can tell the difference, it doesn’t take a pro

How do the MR series compare to the M series? Effects? Sound? Thanks in advance.

Great vid. Only addition that might be worth considering is inverting one of the two channel outputs and summing them rather than subjectively rating the frequency response.

There are a littlle more difference than that: czcams.com/video/aKfhsPhZPmM/video.html

such a hassle just not to turn the headlights on or off lul

The sound may be the same but from what I’ve learned, there is a significant difference in the weight of both pieces, the Midas being heavier. I believe this speaks to the better connectors and other parts internally. There are plenty of reviews speaking of channel failures and noise on the Behringer vs the Midas. In conclusion if you’re going to set it up and let it be, the behringer will be fine… if you’re going after repetitive setup/tear down the Midas may be worth the difference, as I’ve read of no failures. I’m not an expert. Anyone agree?

I can't hear any difference either. Behringer has been working well so far.

Hi, link of the product tanks

There is a much noticeable difference between the two. The Midas Pro sounds clearer and with warmth to the mid tone to your voice while the Behringer sounds a little muffled-not as bright and clean... IMO.

You need to boost your voice levels, can’t hear you speak.

on 2:41 starts the comparison, so you don't need to pass into the boring speaking. Thanks for the video, and you're welcome for the tip :D

Interesting comparison, very helpful, thanks for sharing.

did you use a pop filter on your mic?

The ‚Auto‘ is crooked 😂 Come on bro, this doesn‘t look good. And all this for a kinda working auto light?

XR 18 is completely different than X32 from the power supply that feeds preamps to internal software it self so this not a comparison of X32 and M32

That is fucking shocking! I doesn’t even fit 🤣🤣🤣

The biggest difference is going to be impedance. The Midas Pro Preamp is set to be an even and Equal 10 kΩ Kilo-ohm preamp where as the XR18's Midas Designed preamp is a variable 5 to 10 kΩ Kilo-ohms. The Circuit is nearly identical except for the tolerances. The Midas pro preamps will be more consistent when using multiple inputs where as the Behringer preamps will vary in it frequency response. Basically what this means is the Midas Pro Pres are going to give the mic a consistent sound over time, where as the Behringer is built to fluctuate depending on the source. How this translates in sound is that the Midas Pro will sound a bit more clear, punchy, and have less low end roll off compared to the Behringer. The only issue you may have when comparing these is if you used inputs 1 or 2 on the XR18. Those inputs are different from the rest of the mic pres in the XR18 and X18 mixers. Channels 1 & 2 are a switching circuit that can change depending on the signal it is feed such as a Hi-Z input for guitars Channels 1 & 2 have an even larger ohm difference from 5kΩ / 2MΩ so the tolerance is from 5 Kilo-ohms to 2 Mega-ohms which is a drastic difference. So what this means is Channels 3 and up on the Behringer will be a bit closer to the Midas Pro Preamps and Channels 1 & 2 will vary the most. Cool comparison by the way. I have used both a Midas Heritage 2000 and Midas Legends 3000 consoles in my studio for over 15 years and I can say that the Midas XL/Pro preamp is one of the best preamps ever made. The high 10 kΩ preamp gives a clear and very punchy sound when you compare that to a Neve 1073 which is 300Ω or 1200Ω ohms (not kilo-ohms) depending on if it's in high or low mode on the internal dip switch. This gives the Neve it's darker tone. The higher the Ω impedance the brighter and more punchy it will be. Thanks for doing this comparison it was great!

honestly, i do not believe on this little chineese light reciver to regulate MY FRONT LIGHT... no, thanks...

I have an X32 . I’m about to buy a stagebox. Which one do you suggest ? The Midas 32 or the Behringer ? Or even the 16 of each. Midas or Behringer stagebox ? Thanks.

thank you , i cant hear a difference but.. i'm not on studio monitors

Do you allready have the cover plate ? And where did you buy it ?

but MR18 But it is “16 award-winning Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers”

There is no difference between the two you choose. They are also the same on the official website.“32 award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers” “16 award-winning Midas-designed, fully programmable mic preamps for audiophile sound quality”

The midas pro preamps are different than the M32 preamps. I have an m32 and lots of experience with the pro 2 and x32 series. They're all slightly different with the pro series being the best sounding in my opinion. The differences may come down to conversion (44.1, 48 and 96k).

Hi can you send the link where hou buyed the automatic switch?

One need to time allign the tracks. There is a huge difference. Not sure though if I can really hear it without a null test. Difference is -7db.

Hello, Did you wear a cap ??

Why is he eat a Bonbon meanwhile he speaks xD

Flip the phase of one channel and it’ll expose the differences. As long as you have calibrated the levels as accurate as you can.

Jesus Crist, I was just looking for a comparison bc i just ordered an X32 and i was curious as to what the pre's are like. 5 seconds in and I'm like "shit i recognise that voice" XD

You can’t split mic level audio without losing your correct impedance 🤨🙄 you should have used two matched microphones instead of splitting

hi bro, have you managed to adapt the trim to that switch? When opening / closing the car, the coming home function is activated? thanks and greetings from spain !!

hi friend, Hope I can be honored to get your email

I Hear a little difference... not the subject of this video but i think if you consider the output stage finally you’ll get better results with the Midas...

Was the pink noise identical through each preamp like the voice sample was or was it recorded independently? What I mean is could you put them out of phase and hear the differences? I'll download your samples and try myself :)

Thank you for the the job you've done. Really interesting. I would have add a blind comparison between the 2 samples but this is already enough demonstrative.

Can you share this on some sound blogs and walls

Loved to do the same to my 14 plate Ibiza fr. Where did you get the switch/sensor kit from?

I think these headlights dont have drl as stock since the sidelight is too weak
