iPad App for X32 COMPACT
Many functions of the X32 COMPACT console can be remotely controlled by a dedicated iPad app. Details about the app’s download, setup and operation are available on the X32 COMPACT product page.
The app’s User Interface is optimized for the touchscreen nature of the iPad device and concentrates on the most important remote features of the console.

Startup and Shutdown, and Update:
We recommend switching the X32 COMPACT mixer on first, and shutting it off last when any sound system is connected. This will prevent the possibility of any unexpected noises being transmitted during the startup/shutdown process.
The Setup screen’s general preference page contains a Safe Main Levels function. When activated, the console automatically mutes the main LRC levels when booting the console. It also prevents any scene loading from affecting (i.e. turning up) the mains levels.
Synchronization and Sample Rate settings for the console can be adjusted on the Setup/Config page, but please note that sample rate changes will require a reboot of the console. When you see a red square indication at the top section of the main display, please verify if the synchronization settings on Setup/Config make sense (see section 3).
If the console has been used by someone else, and you feel unsure about its specific routing status, you can reset the X32 COMPACT to default settings in two convenient ways:
•While the console is booting and the “X32” logo appears on the screen, press and hold the Scenes/Undo button until the console is fully operational and the Home screen is displayed. The console will now be in the same state as it was when shipped from the factory. However, you can immediately revert to the status the console was in when being switched off the last time by pressing the Scenes/Undo button
•You can also reset the console any time after booting by pressing Setup/Config, then Initialize
NOTE: Initializing the console does not automatically erase the current show data or any stored scenes. If you wish to clear all scenes, please use the ’Initialize All Show Data’ option on Setup/Config page.
In order to prevent any errors by losing power during a store operation,
we recommend using the “Safe Shutdown” function from the Setup/Global page.
NOTE: The X32 COMPACT can be locked against unintended use by activating ’Lock Console’ from the Setup/Global page. In this state the UI will not allow any changes to be made and the display shows “X”. Keep HOME depressed for about 5 seconds to unlock the X32 again.
The X32 firmware can easily be updated by performing the following steps:
•Download the new console firmware from the X32 COMPACT product page onto the root level of a USB thumb drive
•Plug the USB thumb drive into the top panel USB connector while the console is turned off
•Hold the USB View button depressed while switching the console on.
While booting, the X32 COMPACT will run a fully automatic firmware update, which will take
When no update file is available on the USB drive, or when it is corrupted,
the update mode will remain active, preventing the X32 COMPACT from booting regularly. Switch the console off and back on without holding the USB View button to boot the console with the existing firmware.
CAUTION: Please do not block the fan opening on the bottom of the X32 COMPACT cabinet! The large
