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.

This section describes the various aspects of the desk, but if you want to jump to a quick overview of using the desk, click here.

Layout

The desk is made up of a number of areas, as shown below:

Area	Purpose	Description	Link
A	Input Controls	This bank is generally used to control the inputs to the desk (although it can be used for other purposes)		Input Bank Details
B	Bus Controls	This bank is usually used to control the output channels, ie the monitor mix channels and the effect channels (Bus 13 & 14)	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	This section is used to mute groups of channels - once setup, each of the buttons can be used to mute pre-selected channels. For instance, one button could be used to mute all instrument channels, all vocal channels, or to mute the effect channel for vocals between songs.\|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.
