Behringer X32 Mixer Desk Manual
Overview
The Behringer X32 is a highly flexible digital mixer, meaning that all audio signals are converted to digital signals that can easily be manipulated. The desk allows very complex operations, but can also be used quite simply, as set out below.
Layout
The desk is made up of a number of areas, as shown below:
| Area | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| A | Input Controls | Input Bank Details |
| B | Bus Controls | Output Bank Details |
| C | Setp area | Setup Area Details |
| D | Display / Menu Control | Display-Menu Details |
| E | Scenes | Scene Details |
| F | Assign | Assign Details |
| G | Mute Groups | Mute Group Details |
Connections
The audio in and out signals can either be connected directly to the mixer desk, or via a digital “snake”. The snake is the most useful approach when using the desk for a gig as only a single ethernet cable is needed between the snake and the desk.
Direct to Desk
All audio connections are located on the rear of the desk, as shown below:
| A | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A | XLR Inputs | 32 channels |
| B | XLR Outputs | 16 channels |
| C | Ethernet Connections | Digital Link to Snakes |
| D | On / Off Switch and Power connection | |
| E | Photo In / Outs |
Via Digital Snake
The S16 digital snake sits on the stage and is linked to the mixer desk via an ethernet cable.
