Linux/OS X applications and Windows-based applications for X32 RACK

Also offered is a separate remote editor running

on host computers that will allow for complete editing control of the X32 RACK 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 RACK product page. Check out behringer.com for more information.

Tip: The X32 RACK remote communication is OSC- based (open sound control) and we will share the protocol on our website, allowing developers to design their own control software. Stay tuned to behringer.com for details on the OSC protocol.

X-USB expansion 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. The card is CoreAudio compatible, allowing it to work with computers with the OS X operating system software of Apple, Inc. without a driver.

Nota: Todos los bloques de señal derivados al procesado audio será conectados automáticamente a los canales de entrada correspondientes.

Las entradas locales 17-24 y 25-32 vienen marcadas entre corchetes para hacerle saber que no están disponibles físicamente en este dispositivo. Su asignación obviamente no llevará ninguna señal, pero podrá seguir usándolas cuando esté preparando shows para una consola X32 completa.

Main Display Area

The top section of the main display permanently covers useful status information. The top left corner shows the selected channel number, its nickname and the selected icon. The next block shows the current scene number and name in amber, as well as the next upcoming scene. The center section displays the playback file name along with elapsed and remaining time and a recorder status icon.

Customizing the X32 RACK through the Utilities page

Press the Utility button, located to the right of the main display, to bring up useful functions in a “context-sensitive” manner. For example:

• When you are adjusting the equalizer of a

console channel, pressing the Utility button

will offer copying, pasting, loading or saving of

equalizer settings

16 A 48K 15 C X-USB

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 RACK can be locked against unintended

Ruteo de E/S

La consola X32 RACK dispone de 16 entradas analógicas XLR con previo de micro en el panel trasero, así como 8 salidas XLR y 6 envíos y retornos auxiliares TRS en el panel trasero. Además, dispone de dos puertos AES50 , cada uno de ellos con 48 canales de entrada y salida y una ranura de tarjeta

para 32 canales más de entrada y salida a y desde un ordenador conectado vía USB.

Las señales de entrada pueden ser pasadas a los núcleos de procesado audio internos de la consola en bloques de 8 señales desde cualquiera de las fuentes de entrada mencionadas antes.

The next block to the right has 4 segments to show the status of AES50 ports A and B, the Card slot and the audio clock synchronization source and sample rate (top right). Small green square indicators show proper connectivity. The right most block shows the console time that can be set under Setup/Config.

When working with any given screen, press the Page keys located on the display bezel to switch to different screen pages.

Editing parameters or settings on each of the screens is done using the 6 associated push-encoders along the bottom edge of the display.

•Whenever there is a continuous control or list entry, you can turn the corresponding knob for editing, which is indicated by various circular icons

•When there is a switch or toggle function on one of these knobs, you will see a broad rectangular button along the lower edge of the field. Pressing the encoder changes the on/off state of the corresponding function. When the rectangular button in the display is dark grey, the corresponding function is off/inactive; when it is amber, the function is on/active

•

On the Routing pages, pressing the Utility button

 

will offer loading or saving different presets of

 

routing scenarios

•

In the Scenes menu, pressing the Utility button offers

 

copying, loading, saving or naming console scenes

NOTE: The X32 RACK DCA groups can be selected using the Channel Select control in order to adjust their fader level, mute or solo status. Note, however, that the main display will remain focused on the last real channel (bus or input) that was selected before DCA, since DCAs do not feature any processing.

Startup and Shutdown, and Update:

We recommend switching the X32 RACK 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

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 RACK product page onto the root level of a USB thumb drive

•Plug the USB thumb drive into the front panel USB connector while the console is turned off

•Hold the USB button depressed while switching the console on. While booting, the X32 RACK will run a fully automatic firmware update, which will take 2-3 minutes longer than the regular boot sequence

When no update file is available on the USB drive,

or when it is corrupted, the update mode will remain active, preventing the X32 from booting regularly. Switch the console off and back on without holding the USB button to boot the console with the existing firmware.

CAUTION: Please do not block the vent openings on the sides of the X32 RACK cabinet! Specifically when mounting the X32 RACK in a road case, please ensure there is sufficient space to allow for some airflow.
