2. Input Channels

3. Display

4. Group/Bus/Main Channels

5. Various Assignments

It is best practice to mute the respective channels prior to switching their phantom power supply on or off. Otherwise, the change of charge may cause an audible popping noise. Gain adjustments might also produce audible click noise when adjusted shortly after having switched phantom power on or off.

1. Preamp – Adjust the preamp gain for the selected channel with the Gain knob. Press the 48 V button to apply phantom power for use with condenser microphones and press the ø button to reverse the channel’s phase. The meter displays the selected channel’s level. Press the Low Cut button and select the desired high-pass frequency to remove unwanted lows. Press the View button to access more detailed parameters on the Main Display.

General Usage

View buttons

Throughout the top panel of the console, you will find 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.

The Setup/Global tab on the main display allows preferences for the behavior of View and Select buttons to be adjusted.

Customizing 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 offer 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
