A dedicated XLR output with low pass filter lets you dial in your live sub, and 100mm smooth faders on the L3200 provide easy mixing control.

Preamps and EQ
The L3200 offers 26 mic/line channels with high-quality preamps and 3-band EQ to give you the studio quality sound you desire in a live setting. Samson also included 100 dual 24-bit preset digital effects so you can shape the sound you've envisioned.

Faders, mutes, and meters
Navigating the unit is easy with 100mm faders on all channels and groups, and the L3200's oversized backlit mute switches are ideal for dimly lit club settings. There's also two large 12-segment LED meters for your main mix, groups, and PFL/AFL.

Extended functionality with USB, assignable talkback system, and dedicated sub out
To enhance the range of functionality, the L3200 has an assignable USB digital I/O for computer recording and playback. Samson also added the convenience of a talkback system to facilitate easy communication with your musicians, six flexible aux sends that allow up to eight aux sends per mix and an XLR mono output with an adjustable low-pass filter specific for subwoofer output. In an industry where live performance can define you as a musician, engineer or promoter, Samson has supplied the tool that can set you apart.

Mixing Makes the Music

A sound engineer should have the same relationship with his console that a musician has with his instrument: they should both be intuitive and comfortable in any situation. This was a major design goal during the two-year development of our L3200 mixing console.

So we put 100mm faders on all their channels and groups. Each fader feels tight with a smooth action for a studio-quality console feel. That means you’re at home in every situation with greater control over every nuance.

We’ve also designed large, backlit mute buttons that make console navigation in dimly lit club and theater settings easy and convenient. Additionally, there’s two large 12-segment LED meters for the main mix, groups and PFL/AFL. Finally, we gave these mixers the versatility to create a variety of effects settings so you can deliver a different set of effects to your performers whenever the situation demands it. And for additional effects needs, we made sure there’s plenty of sends so you can use your racks of effects along side our on-board DSP.
Flexibility for Today’s Live Sound Needs

Perfect for installation purposes, especially in clubs, schools, theaters and churches, the L3200 is a 32-channel / 4-bus professional mixing console. We understand the need for more aux sends, so we’ve provided 6 flexible aux sends that allow for up to 8 monitor and effects mixes.

A convenient talkback system makes communicating on stage no problem. Plus, both consoles offer XLR and 1/4-inch stereo main outputs and the XLR mono output has an adjustable low-pass filter specific for subwoofer output.

The L3200 offers 24 mic/line channels with preamps and 4-band EQ in addition to 4 stereo channels, of which 2 have mic preamps, providing great control and versatility.

It’s All About USB
We also recognize the presence of computers in contemporary audio, so we’ve included USB functionality for computer recording and playback. And while there are more than a few mixing consoles with USB, the L3200 provides the capabilities to build a completely independent stereo mix specifically for your USB digital I/O.

That means that unlike other mixers in this segment, your USB mix is not locked into your house mix. The combination of USB functionality and the amount of aux sends also allows for pre-recorded background tracks to be sent to the house and monitors as a stereo mix. Thanks to the USB connectivity, these background tracks can be pre-recorded on a DAW and played back directly from your computer.
