Behringer X32 32 in / 32 out

34X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual

32 in / 32 out

This mode obviously allows the full potential of the interface to be tapped.

Note that the computer needs to be able to handle that amount of concurrent I/O stream without any glitches. Depending on its speed and memory configuration, some optimization for audio recording might be required.

STANDARD MODE: When console channel inputs are set to Card,

channel Gain control will be a digital trim for the interface card signal only, without access to any head amp. Please consider this if you intend to pass all signals through a connected PC for plug-in processing. A compromise can be to run only 24 channels (3 blocks of 8) through the PC via XUF and use the remaining block of 8 channels to access the head amps.

The Card outputs may use any of the available sources in the console (local or AES50) for recording independently.

It is also possible to run a virtual sound check of all 32 input channels by recording them directly to a computer during a brief line check. The performers can leave the stage while you play back the recorded instruments from the hard drive and tweak the sound accordingly.
