X32 RACK DIGITAL MIXER Getting started
(EN) Step 3: Getting
started
Linux/OS X applications and Windows-based
applications for X32 RACK
Also oered 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.

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.

cong
gate dyn eq sends main
square indication at the top section of the main
display, please verify if the synchronization settings
on Setup/Cong make sense.
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
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 rmware can easily be updated by
performing the following steps:
• Download the new console rmware 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 o
• Hold the USB button depressed while switching
the console on. While booting, the X32 RACK
will run a fully automatic rmware update,
which will take 2-3 minutes longer than the
regular boot sequence
When no update le 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 o and back on without holding
the USB button to boot the console with the
existing rmware.
CAUTION: Please do not block the vent openings on
the sides of the X32 RACK cabinet! Specically when
mounting the X32 RACK in a road case, please ensure
there is sucient space to allow for some airow.

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 le name along with elapsed
and remaining time and a recorder status icon.
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/Cong.
When working with any given screen, press the
Page keys located on the display bezel to switch to
dierent 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
eld. Pressing the encoder changes the on/o
state of the corresponding function. When the
rectangular button in the display is dark grey,
thecorresponding function is o/inactive; whenit
is amber, the function is on/active
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 oer copying, pasting, loading or saving of
equalizer settings
• On the Routing pages, pressing the Utility button
will oer loading or saving dierent presets of
routing scenarios
• In the Scenes menu, pressing the Utility button oers
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
rst, and shutting it o 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
aecting (i.e. turning up) the mains levels.
Synchronization and Sample Rate settings for the
console can be adjusted on the Setup/Cong page,
but please note that sample rate changes will
require a reboot of the console. When you see a red
