X32 PRODUCER DIGITAL MIXER Getting Started

Mixer Operational Overview

Welcome to the X32 PRODUCER digital mixing

console QuickStart Guide! This document will give

you an overview of the basic operations of the

mixer, allowing you to get up and running quickly.

Whilereading through the information in this

document, we encourage you to experiment with the

console’s dierent screens and controls. The console’s

user interface was designed to be extremely easy

to navigate through and learn. Inaddition to this

Quick Start Guide, thereis anEnglish user manual

available as a PDF downloadfrom behringer.com.

General user interface operation

The X32 PRODUCER user interface is divided into ve

majorsections:

(1) Channel Strip and Monitoring

(2) Input Channels

(3) Display

(4) Group/Bus/Main Channels

(5) Various Assignments

View buttons rule

Throughout the top panel of the console,

youwillnd small buttons labeled View. Press these

buttons to immediately switch the console’s large

color display (known as the Main Display) to show

information related to the section whose View

button you have just pressed.

For example, if you are editing the equalizer

and feel like seeing a large display of the EQ

frequency response curve or corresponding EQ

parametervalue, simply press the adjacent View

button in the EQ section. If you need to check where

the monitor signal is being routed, simply press the

View button next to the Phones Level knob and the

main display will show the details.

With the View button approach of the X32 PRODUCER

console, there is almost never a need to drill down

through multiple menu pages, since the View buttons

will always take you directly to the relevant screen.

Tip: The Setup/Global tab on the main display allows

preferences for the behavior of View and Select

buttons to be adjusted.

Customizing the X32 PRODUCER through the

Utilities page

Press the Utility button, located to the right of

the main display, to bring up useful functions in a

“context-sensitive” manner. For example:

• When you are adjusting the equalizer of a

console channel, pressing the Utility button

will oer copying, pasting, loading or saving of

equalizersettings

• Pressing the Utility button while holding a

channel select button depressed will present

a naming screen where you can customize the

channel’s appearance on both the main display as

well as the small channel display

• On the Routing pages, pressing the Utility button

will oer loading or saving dierent presets of

routing scenarios

• In the Scenes menu, pressing the Utility button oers

copying, loading, saving or naming consolescenes

Sometimes there is more to say

Some of the individual pages

on the main display contain

more adjustable parameters

than can be controlled by

the 6 rotary push encoders

located beneath it. In these

cases there is a small page

number indication, e.g. “1/2”. Simply press the Layer

Up/Down buttons to switch between layers.

Section 1: Channel Strip and Monitoring

The X32 PRODUCER’s channel strip oers dedicated

controls for the most important processing

parameters of the currently selected channel.

To adjust controls for a given channel strip,

simply press the Select button on the desired

input or output channel.

Certain sections of the channel strip (such as the

low cut lter, noise gate, EQ and compressor)

contain a respectively labeled button that can be

pressed to switch the specic eect on and o.

Thebutton illuminates to show the eect is active,

and goes dark when bypassed.

Within the channel strip, the rotary control knobs

are surrounded by an amber LED collar that

indicates the parameter’s value. Whenever this

backlit knob is turned o, it indicates that this

specic control/parameter is not available for the

selected channel type. For example, if an output

bus is currently selected, the LED collar and the

gainknob are turned o, because there is no input

gain to be controlled on an output bus.

The channel strip consists of the following

sub-sections:

• Cong/Preamp

• Gate, Dynamics

• Equalizer

• Main Bus

Each of these subsections correspond to the

processing steps of the currently selected channel,

and they each have their own View button that,

when pressed, switches the Main Display to a page

displaying all related parameters for thatsubsection.

Monitoring and Talkback

There are two separate Level controls in this

section, one for the headphone output located at

the front of the console, and a second one for the

monitor outputs located on the rear panel.

Press the section’s View button to edit various

monitoring preferences, such as the input source

forthe phones bus and the monitor outputs.

This section also contains independent Talkback

buttons (A and B). Press the View button next to

the Phones Level knob, then press Page Select right

to access the Talkback A and B edit pages.

Section 2: Input Channel Banks

You will nd a select button on top of every

channel that is used to direct the control focus of

the user interface, including all channel related

parameters (channel strip and main display),

tothat channel. Please note that at any time,

there is exactly onechannel selected (either Input

Ch 1-32, Aux 1-6/USB, FXReturns 1L-4R, Mix Bus

1-16, Main LR/C, orMatrix 1-6). DCA Groups

(digitally controlled amplier) cannot be selected

because they control a number of assigned

channels rather than one specic channel.

The Input Channels section of the console is

locatedon the left hand side, and oers 8 separate

input channel strips. These 8 channel strips

represent six separate layers of inputs for the

console, including:

• Input Channels 1-8

• Input Channels 9-16

• Input Channels 17-24

• Input Channels 25-32

• Aux Inputs 1-6/USB playback

• Eects Returns

Press any of the correspondingly labeled layer

buttons on the left side of the console to

switch the input channel bank to any of the six

layers listed above. The button will illuminate,

reminding you which layer is active.

Two more layers (Bus Master 1-8 and 9-16)

are also oered, allowingyou to adjust the

levels of the 16 Mix Bus Masters, which is useful

when you wish to include Bus Masters into

DCA Group assignments.

On each fader strip you will nd a motorized

100mm level fader, Mute and Solo buttons,

aGate indicator, an input level meter,

Compressorindicator, and the channel

selectbutton.
