GRAUPNER MC32EX

The evolution of our successful channel

With its 32 channels, the Graupner console transmitter mc-32 HoTT is a high-end transmitter for real professionals and model builders who value the highest level of security, stable telemetry, intuitive programming and maximum functionality.

Tailor-made for the highest requirements

The huge range of hardware and software features offers an almost limitless variety. Whether it's functionality and switch assignments, the screen layout that can be customized down to the last detail or the extensive voice output - you can adapt your station to your preferences and habits. And all this without programming knowledge or thick manuals. Fast, easy and intuitive!

FULL CONTROL – FULL FUNCTIONALITY

The Graupner mc-32 EX HoTT comes with a real 32 channels in the basic configuration without any additional modules! This gives you limitless functionality and control for any type of model. Choose from 5 different model types such as aircraft models (electric, combustion or turbine propulsion), helicopters, multicopters, vehicles and boats. Save your different models to one of the 999 model memories. 12 phases (planes) and 16 curve mixers can be programmed globally or phase-dependently.

Need more channels and the switches go out? The mc-32 EX includes an additional 64 digital switches that can be assigned and controlled with a simple tap and with the help of the widget menu. Create an almost infinite number of digital switch combinations to control the lights or smoke, turn cranes or water cannons, or simply do whatever comes to mind without running out of switches. If that's not enough for you: if required, up to 7 additional switches can be retrofitted via a simple plug-in connection. The logic switches (AND, OR, EQUAL, UNEQUAL, and max, OR max, XOR max, |A|>=|B|, A=B, |A|=B) with adjustable time delay and linear or digital switching output, encoder and combination switches also increase the variety of switching and control options enormously. Each of these switches controls the functions you want to realize, depending on its switching position or stick position. You decide how each switch should be named.

BIND UP TO 4 RECEIVERS AT THE SAME TIME

Bind up to four 2.4GHz receivers at the same time and set the distribution and distribution of channels as you wish. As an example, a 6-channel receiver can be installed per wing and take over the control of the ailerons, brake flaps, landing gear and lighting. All you have to do is run the power supply into the individual areas and you're ready to go. There is no need for complicated cable routing and expensive distributors! This provides simplicity coupled with all the benefits of RF redundancy.

The

quadruple ball-bearing billet units and with a resolution of the Hall sensors of 2400 steps (equivalent to a 0.5us servo pulse change), provide a pure feeling of control over your model. The integrated 3-stage switches offer convenient switching of phases (planes), motor, autotrim or other user-definable functions. The units can withstand even bad weather conditions and are easily and conveniently accessible from the back of the transmitter to adjust them to your preferences. The transmitter can also be equipped with 4D sticks. However, one of the two 4D encoders is then connected in place of the upper cylindrical encoder in the transmitter, which can instead be connected to any other free slot.

ERGONOMIC HOUSING

Were you expecting a completely new design for the new mc-32 EX? The entire Graupner team unanimously decided against it without much discussion! The design of our console transmitters was created in 2008 by a Swabian design office together with world champion pilots, which pays full attention to the ergonomics of the transmitter. Every switch, every regulator sits to the millimetre in the perfect position, which has been determined in numerous studies with model sports professionals. And for long-time mc users, the new mc is immediately familiar in the hand. The mc-32 EX is encased in a sturdy aluminum frame. The switches, buttons and displays are housed in a high-quality plastic housing, which retains its pleasant feel even at extreme temperatures.

FULL POWER UP TO 10 HOURS

The mc-32 EX HoTT is equipped with a dual, redundant 2.4 GHz RF system. A circular patch antenna and a linear antenna provide tremendous signal quality and increased range. A long day of fun is made possible by the included 9000mAh LiPo battery and allows you more than 10 hours of operation! For hardcore pilots, the battery is also replaceable. So if you can do without sleep, you can get by for a whole day with 2 battery charges. By the way: if you change the battery, it doesn't matter how the connectors are plugged in. The mc-32 EX is protected against polarity reversal via the PCB layout.

The

large 4.3 inch TFT touch colour screen provides convenient, easy and quick access to all the functions you need to set up your model perfectly for you. You have everything at a glance at all times! Even in direct sunlight, the display is perfect to read. The highly optimized, graphical user interface acts like your smartphone and gives you access to all menus and functions. Fast and clear, powered by a high-performance processor. Intuitive touch-and-swipe operation makes navigating through menus quick and easy. Design your own up to 6 screens to display information that is important to you or generate menu shortcuts - all with a simple tap on the screen. The self-created widget pages can be switched via the left buttons and via a freely programmed digital button or switch. The mc-32 EX HoTT includes over 100 widgets that allow you to customize your screens the way you want. - without programming on the PC! Fast – easy – intuitive. The menu is available in German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Czech, Chinese and Korean.

BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE

Need more data at a glance? A lot of our everyday life is done via smartphone. We offer you the possibility to integrate your smartphone into your RC experience. At the top of the aluminum frame there is a metal bracket to which an optionally available smartphone holder can be attached. If your smartphone is securely inserted and connected via Bluetooth or USB cable, you can read important data via the Graupner HoTT Viewer app during the RC action. The smartphone is positioned on the transmitter in such a way that your eyes no longer have to deviate so far from your model. Due to the steep viewing angle on the phone, the display is still ideal to read even in direct sunlight. The optional mobile phone holder replaces the well-known mini-display at the top of our old console transmitter generations. In practice and numerous tests with model builders, it turned out that this small display did not offer much added value. With your smartphone, you get a larger, more readable and more functional display.

ENORMOUSLY EXTENSIVE VOICE OUTPUT

Hear what's going on! The mc-32 EX HoTT offers almost endless possibilities of configurable speech output for the telemetry system and the transmitter status itself. Switch positions, flight phases, warnings, vario tones, telemetry information, user-definable voice output and much more. The mc-32 EX starts interacting with you from the moment you turn it on, notifying you of incorrect stick or switch positions for the selected model. No surprises due to folding landing gears, revving up engines or incorrect gyro settings. The mz-32 lets you know when you need to, even if you forget to extend your suspension, you are in danger of getting out of range or the battery voltage is getting dangerously low. These problems are a thing of the past! With over 600 language files installed, you get an incredible variety of possible combinations of voice outputs. If necessary, you can create as many of your own files as you want with a text-to-speech editor and use them as you wish.

KABELLOSE LEHRER-/SCHÜLER-FUNKTION

Dem Nachwuchs gehört die Zukunft unseres geliebten Hobbys. Dazu ist es wichtig junge Menschen und Neueinsteiger behutsam an den Modellsport heranzuführen. Für erste RC-Versuche ist es eine gute Idee den neuen Piloten mit einer zweiten Fernsteuerung zu unterstützen, um helfen oder im Notfall eingreifen zu können. Alle unsere Graupner-Sender lassen sich untereinander mit einer Lehrer-/Schüler-Funktion verbinden. Und das komplett kabellos!

ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE

Of course, as an mc-32 EX user, you will be provided with the latest functions and updates. Completely free! As soon as an update is available and your transmitter is connected to the Wi-Fi network, you will receive an information on the transmitter display whether you want to perform the new update at the push of a button. TIP: If you want to carry out an update, it would be advisable to make sure that there is sufficient battery capacity or direct power supply. However, if your transmitter runs out of juice during the update, that's no problem either. The update can be continued in the same place.
