Input Channels 1 - 1 6 are pre- congure d to use
the loc al input signals 1- 16 , but c an be patched to
use any other availab le signal on the audio eng ine
as well, including mix b us/sub group outp uts.
Changesof t he Channel Source c an be made on th e
Preamp Congpa ge.
Input Channels 1 7 - 32 are pre -congu red
to AES50 A input s 1- 16, so that connec ting an
S 1 6 st age box to por t A will automat ically fee d
thechanne ls.
Aux Return Channels 1 -8 are pre -congur ed
to use the 6 au x input signals, and the t wo USB
playback o utput s, but can be p atched to use any
other available sig nal of the console a s well.
FX Return Channels 1 L -4R control t he 4 stereo
outpu t signals of side -chain F X 1-4.
Output Signals can b e freel y assigned f rom
anyinternal signal to any of th e following out puts:
• 8 analog local XLR o utput s ( with adjus table
digit al delay for time -alignment of speaker s )
• 8 vir tual out puts (marked with *) for r outing over
AES50 or car d output s
• 6 auxiliar y send s on ¼ " TR S output s
• 1 6 channel p ersonal m onitoring usin g the
console ’ s P- 16 Bus outpu t connec tor
Any and all of the above signals c an also be mirr ored
in block s of 8 signals on ei ther one of
• 48 x channels on AES50 po rt A
• 48 x channels on AES50 po rt B
• 32x channels on USB inter face car d

Eect s Processing 1 -8
The X32 RACK cont ains eight true -stere o internal
eect s e ngines .
• FX 1-4 c an be congure d as side chain or inse rt
ee ct s, while FX 5- 8 can only be u sed in inser t
point s of channels or bu ses
• The FX H ome scre en allows selec tion of t he
FX 1-4 inpu t sources and s elec ting the e ect s
t ype/algorithm f or each of the 8 F X slots of t he
vir tual rack
• The subs equent tabs F X 1-FX 8 of the F X scre en
allow editin g all parameter s of the chos en
eect s p rocessor
iPad App f or X32 RACK
Many func tions o f the X32 RACK console c an be
remotely cont rolled by a ded icated iPad app.
Detai ls about the app’s download, set up and
operat ion are include d in a separate us er manual
available for dow nload fr om the X32 RACK
produc t page.
The app’s User Interf ace is optimize d for the
touchsc reen natur e of the iPad device and
concentrate s on the mos t impor tant remote
featur es of the conso le only . Using the app, you can
per for m func tions such a s adjusting m onitor mixes
fro m the stag e while interac ting wit h musicians,
or adjus ting the f ront-of-house m ix from t he
audience, while hear ing the mix ex actly a s the
audience do es.
Routing I/ O
The X32 RACK conso le features 16 analog rear-panel
XLR input s with mic rophone pre amps, as well as
8rear-panel XLR O utput s and 6 TRS Aux Sen ds and
Retur ns. In additio n, there are t wo AES50por ts,
eachfeat uring 4 8 input and out put channels, andac ard
slot for 32channels of inp ut and outpu ttoand from a
connec ted compu ter via USB2.0 .
Input Signals c an be at tached to th e console’s internal
audio pro cessing engine in b lock s of 8signals fro m any
one of the af oremention ed inputso urces.
The conguration of Mix Bus Cha nnels 1- 16 can
be pre -set (in the Se tup/Global page) or can also
be congu red on an indiv idual, per -c hannel basis.
Thebus pr ocessing inc ludes (in this order):
• Inser t point (swap pable bet ween pos t-EQ and
pre -EQ operati on )
• 6-band fully pa rametric EQ
• Compress or /expande r ( swapp able bet ween
