Note: All signal blocks patched to the audio
processing will be connected to the corresponding
input channels automatically.
Local inputs 17-24 and 25-32 are listed with brackets,
indicating that these are not physically available on
this device. Assigning these will obviously carry no
signal, but they can still be used when preparing
shows for a full X32 console.
Cabling for AES50 connections between X32 and
S16 stageboxes:
• Shielded CAT-5e cable, Ethercon terminated cable
ends (recommended)
• Maximum cable length 100 meters (330 feet)

Input Channels 1-16 are pre-congured to use
the local input signals 1-16, 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 Congpage.
Input Channels 17-32 are pre-congured
to AES50 A inputs 1-16, so that connecting an
S16 stage box to port A will automatically feed
thechannels.
Aux Return Channels 1-8 are pre-congured
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 FX1-4.
Output Signals can be freely assigned from
anyinternal signal to any of the following outputs:
• 8 analog local XLR outputs (with adjustable
digital delay for time-alignment of speakers)
• 8 virtual outputs (marked with *) for routing over
AES50 or card outputs
• 6 auxiliary sends on ¼" TRS outputs
• 16 channel personal monitoring using the
console’s P-16 Bus output connector
Any and all of the above signals can also be mirrored
in blocks of 8 signals on either one of
• 48x channels on AES50 port A
• 48x channels on AES50 port B
• 32x channels on USB interface card

Eects Processing 1-8
The X32 RACK contains eight true-stereo internal
eects engines.
• FX 1-4 can be congured as side chain or insert
eects, while FX 5-8 can only be used in insert
points of channels or buses
• The FX Home screen allows selection of the
FX 1-4 input sources and selecting the eects
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
eects processor
iPad App for X32 RACK
Many functions of the X32 RACK 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 RACK
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 only. 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.
Routing I/O
The X32 RACK console features 16 analog rear-panel
XLR inputs with microphone preamps, as well as
8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.
The conguration of Mix Bus Channels 1-16 can
be pre-set (in the Setup/Global page) or can also
be congured on an individual, per-channel basis.
Thebus processing includes (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
• Main LR panning
• Mono/Center level
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)
