Step 3: Getting started
Note: All signal blocks patched to the audio processing will be connected to the corresponding input channels automatically. Local inputs 17-
24 and 25-32 are listed with brackets, indicating that these are not physically 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 AES50 connections between X32 and S16 stageboxes:
Shielded CAT-5e cable
Ethercon terminated cable ends
Maximum cable length 100 meters (330 feet)
Routing I/O
The X32 RACK console features 16 analog rear-panel XLR inputs with microphone preamps, as well as 8 rear-panel XLR Outputs and 6

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.
