We are going to connect a Behringer S32 digital snake into the AES50A port, and swap all Inputs 1-32 to pull from the AES50 A Blocks. If you change Input 1-8 to be pulled from AES50 A1-8, you will not be able to access any of the Local 1-8 unless you take up a ‘Block’ from Inputs 9-16, Inputs 17-24, Inputs 25-32, or the Aux In Remap to source from Local 1-8. We can make the statement that if you plug a microphone into XLR Input 2 on the X32, it will arrive on Channel 2 on the X32. The default routing options of the channels will also pull from the corresponding number, so Channel 1 will pull from Input 1. As you can see in this screenshot of the routing options, they are in blocks of 8.īy default, Input 1-8 is sourced from Local 1-8 so if you plug a microphone into XLR Input 1 on the X32, it will arrive in the Input 1. One limitation of the Behringer X32 line and Midas M32 line is the routing blocks which is labeled ‘ Channel Processing Block Patch‘. However, we do still have the ability to adjust 4 bands of EQ. The return has no ability to adjust polarity, gate, or dynamics. These channels can only be sourced from the effects rack. The FX Return channels are the returns out of the Effect Racks 1-4. The Aux channels do not have Low Cut, Input Delay, Insert Points, Gate Section, and the Dynamics Section. The auxiliary channels of the Behringer X32 can pull audio from any of the inputs just like Channels 1-32, however, we have limited channels parameters which we can now adjust. Main Section: Ability to send to LR+Mono Buss or LCR Buss.Sends Section: Ability to send to all 16 Mixbusses.

Config Section: Preamp Gain, Low Cut, Input Delay, Polarity, Insert Options.The benefit of these channels is that they have the ability to adjust all of the channel parameters of the channel strip.

They can pull audio from any of the inputs on the console. These are the main channels of the Behringer X32. After that, I will go through how to get the ‘Inputs’ from either the Local X32 or a remote I/O on stage over a digital snake. Then I will talk about how the ‘Channels’ get the audio from the ‘Inputs’. I first want to talk about the specific processing which can be utilized in the console inside of the ‘Channels’. That is broken into 32 channels of XLR and 6 channels of Aux. InputsĪll of the X32 family has the ability to adjust 38 channels of inputs.

So today, I am going to dive completely into ALL of the input options that you can use with the Behringer X32. I’m often asked what input options we have with the Behringer X32.
