28 X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual
Sub Octaver
The Sub Octaver provides two channels of sub harmonics generation, one or even two octaves below
the input signal.
Adjust the DIRECT knob to blend the “dry” signal with the lower octaves. Use the RANGE switch
to optimize the tracking by selecting the frequency range of the input signal. The OCT1 and OCT2
knobs adjust how much 1 octave down and 2 octaves down content is included.
Edison EX1
The EDISON EX1+ is a remarkably effective tool that allows manipulation of the stereo
field. The effect offers stereo and mid/side input and output and a phase correlation meter.
Exaggerate the stereo field with the ST SPREAD knob and adjust the ratio of mono to stereo
content with the BALANCE knob. The CENTER DIST knob allows the mono content to be panned.
Compensate for level changes with the OUTPUT GAIN knob.
Sound Maximizer
Inspired by the Sonic Maximizer 482i, this effect restores natural brilliance and clarity to any audio
signal by adjusting the phase and amplitude integrity to reveal more of the natural texture of the
sound. LO CONTOUR adjusts the level of phase-corrected low frequencies and PROCESS adjusts the
level of phase-corrected high frequencies. GAIN compensates for level changes caused by the effect.

5.1 Starting up, shutting down,
and rmware updates
We recommend switching the X32 on before any active sound reinforcement
system is connected. The function called “Safe Main Levels”, located in the
Setup/General Preferences screen, automatically turns down the main LRC bus
levels when booting the console, and also prevents any scene loading actions
from aecting (specically turning up) the main levels.
Synchronization and Sample Rate settings can also be adjusted on the
Setup/Cong page, but please note that changing the sample rate will require a
console reboot.
◊ Please Note: Settings under ‘Link Preferences’, ‘Panning Mode’,
and ‘DCA groups’ are stored with the Scene data while all other settings
made on the Setup/Config page are not stored in any preset and will
not be initialized either. Please verify before using the X32 that the
sample rate is set correctly and if the synchronization source is selected
appropriately. If set to external synchronization via one of the two
AES50 ports, while no clock source is actually connected or switched on,
then the corresponding small square icon in the main display’s top row
would be red rather than green. In normal state you should only see
1-4 green squares in the top section depending on the units connected.
Note that if the X32 console has previously been in use by somebody else, and you
feel unsure about its actual status, you can reset it to default settings in either of
two convenient ways:
1. While the console is booting up and the “X32” logo appears on the screen,
press and hold the “Scenes / UNDO” button, keeping it depressed until the
console is fully operational and the Home screen is displayed. The console
will now be in the exact same state as it was when rst shipped from the
factory. However, you can immediately revert back to the status the console
was in before being switched o by pressing the Scenes/UNDO button.
2. You can also reset the console any time after booting by pressing
“Setup/Cong” -> “Initialize”.
The X32 regularly stores the console’s status to its onboard ash memory,
sothere is usually nothing wrong with switching it o, and you do not have to
explicitly save the current status. However, when a large number of parameters
have been recently changed, storing all of them to ash can take up to 1 minute,
in a “worst-case” scenario. In order to prevent any errors by losing power during
this type of storage operation, we recommend using the “Safe Shutdown”
function from the Setup/Global page, an operation similar to un-mounting a
USBthumb-drive from your PC.
Console Lock
To lock the console and prevent tampering with the panel controls, simply hold
the HOME button depressed for 3 seconds. To unlock, hold the HOME button
again for 3 seconds. This can also be used as a safe shutdown by locking the
console before switching the power o.
