Routing I/O
The X32 console features 32 analog rear-panel XLR
inputs with microphone-preamps, as well as 16 rear-
panel XLR Outputs and 6 TRS Aux Sends and Returns.
In addition, there are two AES50 ports, each featuring
48 input and output channels, and a card slot for
32 channels of input and output to and from a
connected computer via USB 2.0.
Input Signals can be attached to the console's internal
audio processing engine in blocks of 8 signals from any
one of the aforementioned input sources

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
•
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)
Input Channels 1-32 are pre-configured to use
the first 32 input signals, 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.
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.
Effects Processing 1-8
The X32 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 3rd bank (layer) of the input
channels - Aux/USB/FX 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
iPad App for X32
Many functions of the X32 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 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.
