X32/M32 how to: speaker Cross Overs with Matrix sends and eq filters

how to setup cross over points for a 2 way or a 3 way speaker system using the matrix sends on midas m32 or behringer x32 and how to route matrix to physical xlr outputs to connect them to loudspeakers

Why do you not use the Built-in crossovers in the console, as opposed to the high and low cut ?

[@justiceappiah4779]

Can you make a video on how to set a talk for the band and the engineer only

[@danielkharrat]

I already made a video about talkback kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKVdX2mfd51qNk And if the band needs to talk to you, you can use a mic into a channel normally but you would turn off the main stereo button on that channel so it doesn't go to the main mix

Thanks for your video.How can i eq my matrix I set up delay speakers with matrix but can't control with eq.

[@danielkharrat]

With the same eq you use for the cross over

[@vaqiftahmazov6359]

@@danielkharrat thank you but I wanted to use eq just for to release feedback for my matrix but it didn't react

[@danielkharrat]

@@vaqiftahmazov6359 you can use a graphic eq and insert it on the matrix

[@vaqiftahmazov6359]

@@danielkharrat I did but again didn't work.The matrix worked but with eq didn't react

[@danielkharrat]

@Vaqif Tahmazov if it didn't react then it's off. Make sure it's active

[@anchoravsystems8598]

If the setup is LR and Sub, should we be setting up Sub sends and PA crossover via Matrix or M/C?

[@danielkharrat]

Depends on your preference, do you want to focus on the mix as a whole and let the console send each part of it to the correct speaker or do you want to decide what goes to the sub and what doesn't

[@anchoravsystems8598]

@@danielkharrat Other than "let the the console send each part to correct speaker", what other benefits are there for using matrices for PA? One benefit may be you can gain headroom for PA (matrix headroom + LR headroom)?

[@djabthrash]

@@anchoravsystems8598 Matrices give you an extra EQ, and for the low and high bands you have modes with steeper Qs (which Daniel didn't show in his video for some reason) that are handy for handling crossover frequencies.

[@Gershy13]

Is it possible to EQ matrix 1 and 2 individually when in a stereo pair? or some sort of work around other than using inserts? For instance if i need to EQ my left speaker differently to my right speaker

[@danielkharrat]

You'll have to unlink them or go into setup menu and turn off EQ in the link preferences But if you do that it applies to the entire console so just unlink them

[@Gershy13]

@@danielkharrat but then will it be summed to mono in each one? Is there a way to send Main L or Main R only to a matrix?

[@danielkharrat]

@gershondharmanandan9902 you're right. I haven't thought about it before but that's a big flaw that the link preferences can only be changed globally. I guess you only solution is to insert a Dual TruEQ if you want something that behaves like a normal parametric eq because the GEQ creates all kinds of problems if you decide to boost frequencies

[@Gershy13]

@@danielkharrat yeah I'll probably have to just give in and use an insert if I really need it. I plan to use it for tuning the system using smarrt/OpenSoundMeter, so hopefully the right side won't be too different to the left and I can just use the default parametric on both. If I really need to adjust the other side more then I'll end up using an insert (either truEQ or the blue one with knobs, I forget it's name lol). Do I have to worry about the delay caused by an insert? Or is it so small that in a room it doesn't really matter in this case?

[@danielkharrat]

@gershondharmanandan9902 the delay of the effects on the m32 is roughly around 1 millisecond so no you won't notice any delay, however you have to insert it on both the Left and Right even if you only want to use it on 1 side If you use the pultec eq there's a "IN" button that allows you to bypass the effect without removing it from the signal chain So you can bypass side A and work with side B but keep the insert button turn on for both the left and right matrix

04:10 here i wouldn't say "output 1 goes to matrix 1", but "ouput 1 is fed by matrix 1" :)
