Input Channels 1-16 are pre-configured to use 

the local input signals 1-16, but can be patched to 

use any other available signal on the audio engine 

as wel , including mix bus/sub group outputs. 

Changes of the Channel Source can be made on the 

Preamp Config page. 
Input Channels 17-32 are pre-configured 

to AES50 A inputs 1-16, so that connecting an 

S16 stage box to port A will automatical y feed 

the channels.
Aux Return Channels 1-8 are pre-configured 

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 wel . 
FX Return Channels 1L-4R control the 4 stereo 

output signals of side-chain FX 1-4.

Channel Sends

The configuration of Mix Bus Channels 1-16 can 

be pre-set (in the Setup/Global page) or can also 

be configured 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 ful y 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 ful y 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 ful y parametric EQ

• Compressor/expander (swappable between 

post-EQ and pre-EQ operation)

Effects Processing 1-8
The X32 COMPACT console contains eight true-

stereo internal effects engines. 

• FX 1-4 can be configured as side chain or insert 

effects, while FX 5-8 can only be used in insert 

points of channels or buses  

• The returns of side chain FX 1-4 can always be 

control ed using the 6th bank (layer) of the input 

channels - Effects Returns. Note that the return 

signals of FX 1-4 have separate faders for left 

and right

• The FX Home screen al ows selection of the 

FX 1-4 input sources and selecting the effects 

type/algorithm for each of the 8 FX slots of the 

virtual rack

• The subsequent tabs FX 1-FX 8 of the FX screen 

al ow editing all parameters of the chosen 

effects processor 

Output Signals can be freely assigned from 

any internal signal to any of the fol owing 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  +  2x 

AES/EBU outputs

• 16 channels 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

Routing I/O
The X32 COMPACT 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.
Note: All signal blocks patched to the audio 

processing will be connected to the corresponding 

input channels automatical y. 

Local inputs 17-24 and 25-32 are listed with brackets, 

indicating that these are not physical y 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 all AES50 connections between X32 and 

S16 stageboxes: 

• Shielded CAT-5e cable, Ethercon terminated 

cable ends

• Maximum cable length 100 meters (330 feet)
