iPad App for X32 PRODUCER

Many functions of the X32 PRODUCER console can be remotely controlled by a dedicated iPad app. Details about the app’s download, setup and operation are included in a separate user manual available for download from the X32 PRODUCER product page.

The app’s User Interface is optimized for the touchscreen nature of the iPad device and provides many useful remote features of the console.

Using the app, you can perform functions such as adjusting monitor mixes from the stage while interacting with musicians, or adjusting the front- of-house mix from the audience, while hearing the mix exactly as the audience does.

Output Signals can be freely assigned from

any internal signal to any of the following outputs:

8 analog local XLR outputs (with adjustable digital delay for time-alignment of speakers)

8 virtual outputs (marked with *) for routing over AES50 or card outputs

6 auxiliary sends on ¼" TRS outputs

16 channels personal monitoring using the console’s P-16 Bus output connector

Any and all of the above signals can also be mirrored in blocks of 8 signals on either one of

48x channels on AES50 port A

48x channels on AES50 port B

32x channels on USB interface card

The configuration of Mix Bus Channels 1-16can be pre-set (in the Setup/Global page) or can also be configured on an individual, per-channel basis. The bus processing includes (in this order):

Insert point (swappable between post-EQ and

pre-EQ operation)

6-band fully parametric EQ

Compressor/expander (swappable between

post-EQ and pre-EQ operation)

Bus sends to 6 matrices

Matrix Channels 1-6 are fed exclusively by MAIN LRC and Mix Bus 1-16 signals. The processing steps include (in this order):

Insert point (swappable between post-EQ and pre-EQ operation)

6-band fully parametric EQ

Compressor/expander (swappable between post-EQ and pre-EQ operation)

Effects Processing 1-8

Windows-based application and Linux/ OS X application for X32 PRODUCER

Also offered is a separate remote editor running on host computers that will allow for complete editing control of the X32 PRODUCER via Ethernet. Details of the remote editor’s download, setup and operation are included in a separate user manual available for download from the X32 PRODUCER product page. Check out behringer.com for more information.

Tip: The X32 PRODUCER remote communication is OSC-based (open sound control) and we will share the protocol on our website, allowing developers

Main LR panning

Mono/Center level

Main Bus Channels LR/C are always available and independent from Mix Buses. The processing steps for this signal path include (in this order):

Insert point (swappable between post-EQ and pre-EQ operation)

6-band fully parametric EQ

Compressor/expander (swappable between post-EQ and pre-EQ operation)

Bus sends to 6 matrices

The X32 PRODUCER console contains eight true-stereo internal effects engines.

FX 1-4 can be configured as side chain or insert effects, while FX 5-8 can only be used in insert points of channels or buses

The returns of side chain FX 1-4 can always be controlled using the 6th bank (layer) of the input channels - Effects Returns. Note that the return signals of FX 1-4 have separate faders for left and right

The FX Home screen allows selection of the FX 1-4 input sources and selecting the effects type/algorithm for each of the 8 FX slots of the virtual rack

The subsequent tabs FX 1-FX 8 of the FX screen allow editing all parameters of the chosen effects processor

to design their own control software. Stay tuned to behringer.com for details on the OSC protocol.

X-USB card

The X-USB card allows transmission of up to

32 channels to and from a connected computer. Please download the X-USB drivers and Quick Start Guide from behringer.com before connecting the mixer to your computer.

Input Channels 1-16 are pre-configured to use the local input signals 1-16, but can be patched to use any other available signal on the audio engine as well, including mix bus/sub group outputs. Changes of the Channel Source can be made on the Preamp Config page.

Input Channels 17-32are pre-configured to AES50 A inputs 1-16, so that connecting an S16 stage box to port A will automatically feed the channels.

Aux Return Channels 1-8 are pre-configured to use the 6 aux input signals, and the two USB playback outputs, but can be patched to use any other available signal of the console as well.

FX Return Channels 1L-4R control the 4 stereo output signals of side-chain FX 1-4.
