Hi Drew, thanks for your videos, always helpfull! Question, it seems not possible to listen to main L/R (7,8) on the S16, thus only to single inputs/outputs. Any reason for this limitation or is there a workaround?

[@smartbandfrankfurt]

Hi Drew, great video. I am having a new unit here and with firmware 2.7 applied to the unit, the gain will only be adjustable starting with -2.0 and the next step would be 0.5, then 3.0 and so on until + 45.5. In your video you were able to select a gain of 0.0 (which makes sense). What is wrong here?

Drew great videos! I have learned a lot from them, thanks! I also have a question: A new Behringer S32 stage-box was added to our audio, because our worship room got extended. My is question is that I noticed that the box is connected on both AES50 A and B ports on both ends, any idea why it was done that way ?

[@dan6134]

Hi Drew, thanks for the video! I got a question concerning the outputs. I got a single s16 connected to my x32 compact and want to run my outputs through my s16 on stage as mixbusses 1-8 for monitors, and still use my local outputs on the console in addition. Through the console local outs my PA is connected as well. How do I set this up or configure this, so that I basically got 16 individual outputs, 1-8 Mixbus on stage with the s16 and 9-16 other xlr outs locally with my pa through that too? Thanks :)

Hello! Thank a lot for your videos! Everything is crystal clear and absolutely transient to your listeners. I have a quick question. I want to rack mount a aes50_a connected dl16 to easy patch my 6 matrix fed outputs of my LR out on my m32r to the pa amps. Can I daisy chain a dl32 to that dl16 and rout all 32 inputs onstage + the p16 outputs from the dl32? Is it possible to daisy chain a dl16 and a dl32?

Hey Drew. Great video. Thank you. Is there really that much of a sound difference between the Behringer pre-amps and the Midas ones? I know there is a paper difference, but is it noticeable to the ears? I have an X32 Compact and would like to add an addition 16 channels and trying to validate the additional spend.

[@rccgcelebrationhouseyouth]

Thanks for this video, please can you explain more on how to use the Adat and how to connect it to x32 console using the Adat port. Because I uses two s16 stage box and one of it developed issue that made the A port on the first s16 to stop working, and the A port on my x32 too stopped working as well, so I had to connect the the second s16 using the B port. I'm thinking if the Adat out can connect to x32, it will help me greatly. I hope you understand.

[@Gabrielthegreat23]

Hey Drew I have watched many of videos and I love that you do this. especially because there is no else that is doing it for the behringerx32. I however need some help with my console. I recent just done an updaTE AND WENT TO THE 4.09 FIRMWARE UPDATE. after that on the AES50 port A it now says and flashes back and forth from n/n and X32C on the screen. with it doing that I cannot use port A on my board. Can you help me?

[@ogboduemmanuel6907]

That's very very good sir. But i have a question how do I set up a channel in the s16??

[@appclusiveplus]

Hi Drew, thank you for sharing this tutorial (and your other tutorials). In the Behringer manual I read that the S16 has a "standalone" mode where you can connect an S16 to another S16 via AES50 (in a "master" and "slave" configuration). I was wondering if you know if an SD16 - instead of an S16 - can be connected to a "master" S16 as a "slave"?

Question: we are wanting to setup two distinct mixes, one for FOH and one for Broadcast/Recording. Can we plug all our stage vocals and instruments into the DL32 stage box and then send two separate outs over Ethernet A&B and then mix from there? Hopefully that makes sense!

[@quameowusu]

Hello Drew, please how do I how output sound to my PA speakers from my dl 16, and how do i link my M32 to dl 16 bless you....

[@ocpbmuse]

I’ve been running to these behringers for the last six years as a 32 channel board and cannot seem to get rid of a random popping sync issue that comes up. I’ve replaced cables, try different power sources and still get the occasional sync drop out/pop. Would the Midas be more reliable???

[@integrityaudiovisual1977]

So I have an interesting issue with my S16. It stopped communicating via AES50 (would blink intermittent green). I contacted Behringer support after doing all the troubleshooting I could think of. Sent the unit in to repair and they replaced the AES50 chip. Now I have communication with the S16, however, it will not output audio. I have a second S16 that works perfectly fine. The repair shop said they were able to get audio from the output but I still am unable to. Is there anything on the S16 itself that would mute/kill audio going to the outputs?

[@livemixpriyan]

HEy Drew Thanks for the Video. Just a question, my Wing will be at FOH and in the Stage i have DL32 and M32. I need actually 40 Channels on my Wing (at FOH). Since DL32 has only 32 inputs can i somehow use the M32 as a second stage box and connect rest 8 Channels? If yes How? Thanks a Lot for a quick explaination

[@donm1547]

Drew, when adjusting Gain or any setting at the S16, is that setting " Mirrored " at the X32 ? If so, can the changes be seen in real time at the X32 while being changed ?

[@DustySeven7]

It's not mirrored. Gain is adjusted to the preamp that is assigned to a channel. So if channel 1 was local, preamp 1 in the board would get adjusted. If channel 2 is stage box 1, then that would be adjusted. The console knows which preamps to adjust based on the channel routing and sources

[@stevereese6488]

Can this unit work as both mic inputs from drums, guitars, and vocals to include headphones for each musician and be sent to the Behringer Wing? Or would you need a different box for all headphones?

[@Thenoodlesbandnz]

Hi Drew, I have a Midas core and 4 x Dl16’s. I’m wanting to use the core on stage with 2 x Dl16’s for inputs on stage, stage monitors and run p16 stage monitor mixers and 2 x Dl16’s as a y split so front of house can have a signal of 16 of our input Chanels separately coming through the each of the 16 outputs. Most of the time front of house may not have an x32 or Midas hence needing the y split option. Is this possible? Thanks

[@DustySeven7]

That is possible. Use AES A for the 2 boxes you are using for inputs and your outputs to monitors. AES B to the stage boxes you want to use for FOH outputs. Assign AES B 1-16 as User Out 1-16. Then setup the 16 signals you want FOH to be able to get. BTW, the ADAT ports on the stage boxes allow for more outputs. You can plug in 2 convertors and have 32 outputs for FOH

Wonder if you have experienced the issue and share the solution? Thanks so much!

[@wattage2007]

Useful video on a potentially confusing topic! One question: are user routings done in X32 edit stored with the scene or is that a global setting?

[@djabthrash]

Stored in the scene but you can filter them (or mixer safe them ) out when you load the scene

[@corywilloughby]

Hey Drew! I have 2 S16s they are setup exactly like yours but the second is not syncing up. The X32 sees the first S16 but not the other What might I be doing wrong?

[@JGoodin]

When using a Wing + DL16 combo, do you have to set gain on the DL16's control panel, or can you control everything on the Wing as you would a DL32?

[@nelsonuy9789]

Hi Drew! Thank you for very helpful video. Is it possible to combine both S16 & Dl16 to increase inputs? Will it work? Presently, i have S16 setup to X32 compact.

[@owenmurphy7777]

the X32 cannot process more than 32 inputs total.

[@jeffpara9113]

So can I use one of these (or the S16) to ADD channels to my x32 rack? For example - the first 16 channels are "local" (with the racks outputs), then this adds another 16 ins and 8 outs I can have on stage.

[@MarcusVolkmann-od4zv]

Hi Drew. Thank you for this Video. We are about to install the S32 in our Church. My question is: Do I have to change the routing in each scene we have created so far or is there some kind of an overall functionality to change the routing in general? best regards from Germany. Marcus

[@djabthrash]

Just filter out the routing part of your scenes when you load them, or have a mixer safe on your routing

[@joshcapatch4368]

Can you go over your settings for all your drum mics? Gates(with triggers), Compression, EQ, effects, etc

[@DrewBrashler]

Thats a great topic. I'll make sure to add that to my list of future videos. Thanks, Josh!

[@justinanthony7641]

How would you use this as or with a splitter? If I’m in a 4 piece band (guitar,bass, vocals & drummer) using the x32 rack as an IEM system would I be able to use the dl16 to gain the sonic benefit? How would I route that to FOH at different venues from our IEM Rack, would I still need a splitter or patch bay?

[@justinanthony7641]

My initial idea is to just buy two art S8’s and run them into an art 16 patch bay to send a dry signal to the FOH mixer. Idk what would be better. I’m new to this and want to get it right and sounding as best as possible both on IEM & FOH.

Hey my friend i have a question,,i have the x32 can i use the DL 16 stage box but the other 16 channels using the x32 inputs,,,,

[@DustySeven7]

Yes. You can have 16 channels from the stage box via AES and set the other 16 to be Local.

[@benfrost9258]

Hey Drew, great video, just wondering if you're daisy chaining an s32 and dl16 do you have to have them in a certain order. Obviously want to take advantage of the better dl16 preamps and output for foh. Also does the preamp gain on the dl have to be done on the unit or can it be set via the Wing?

[@DrewBrashler]

Doesn't matter the order, as long as you have the proper cable, and go from the port of the WING into the A port of the first box, then B port from the first box to the A port of the second box. For instance WING (A, B, or C Port) -> S32 (A Port) | S32 (B Port) -> DL16 (A Port) All of the gain would be able to be controlled from your WING. I would suggest making sure the firmware is updated on all of the devices as there have been some changes for the best support on the WING. Hope this helps!

[@andrei_dev7633]

please tell us about midi on s16, s32, is it possible to transmit a signal from the stage box to the mixer?

[@DrewBrashler]

My understanding is that when you have the S16 connected to an X32 any MIDI information in and out of the MIDI ports is connecting to the mixer. You are also able to control +48v and gain settings via MIDI if the S16 is not connected to a mixer.

[@turfin2003]

[@kirtans7533]

I have X32Compact and S16. Is it possible to set Out +8 on S16 for a total of 16 buses? That is 8 on the board and 8 on stagebox?

[@DustySeven7]

Yes that is possible. Hold the config button on the front of the s16 and scroll to right once to turn on +8 led light. Out 1-8 will be the board. Out 9-16 will be the stage box. Makes sure that AES A 9-16 is set to Out 9-16.

Set up your Out 9-16 to be your 8 monitor mixes, and then have your stage box with the +8 setup that I explain in this video! You will then have your PA and everything out of your M32R's 8 outputs, and then your 8 monitor mixes out of the stage box.

What if I upgrade one of my X32s to a Midas M32 and use a combination of S16, SD16, or S32 stage boxes that I already own with the new Midas board? Is there a way to choose which channel preamp is used? If all channels are coming in from a Behringer stage box(es), is there a way to still have the better preamps in the M32 console used instead of the Behringer pre's in the stage box(es)?

First stage box will be AES 1-16 in. Second stage box will be AES 17-32. The hookup is A port of x32 to A port of S16 1, B port of S16 1 to A port of S16 2. Also on s16 2 press and hold config and scroll knob to the right once to turn the +8 led. That will make the outputs AES 9-16 for the second box

I’ve been using mine for years I have a producer and a 16 but one thing I will never or should I say figure it out even though that’s the way it works, is why on the aes output of a S 16 do you do one through eight and then the next column it is nine through 16 when there is only eight outputs on the S 16

[@john26660]

So you can have 32 inputs by utilizing the X32 Compact and one DL16. Does that also double your outputs, utilizing the 8 on the X32 Compact and the 8 on the DL16?

Yes it does. Connecting either an S16, and SD16, or a DL16 to you X32 Compact will give you 32 total inputs and 16 total outputs.

You would want to use X32 outputs 9-16 as your 8 outputs that you are hoping for and then place your S16 into the (9-16) +8 mode that I talk about in this video. You would have outputs 1-8 locally on the X32 compact, and then 9-16 showing up on the S16. Hope this helps!

[@DrewBrashler]

Yeah I think you are going to have to use a stage box to get that ultranet routing working from the FOH console like you are trying. The SD8, SD16, S16, or DL16 would work perfectly, just an added cost unfortunately. If you had an ethernet snake with multiple ethernet lines, you could use one for the AES50 and then another line for the Ultranet. Then plug that into a P16-D to get out to the other P16's. I hope these options will help!

You are able to run the stage boxes as a snake mode which can allow you to have two of the stage boxes and send channels between the two stage boxes. If you are using the S16 in the snake mode, it would be XLR connections and therefore be able to be used with any mixer.

FYI although the cost is considerably more, the Midas DL251 or the pro series stuff is even better quality preamps. Unfortunately the X/M32 does not have the ability to take advantage of the full capabilities of the preamps because it lacks the controls for trim adjustment that show up on the pro series consoles such as the Pro2C for instance. To be clear, the channel strip has an input level AND a trim control. The point is to sort of emulate the ability of analog consoles to be overdrive and get some saturation from the circuit. Too bad that the M/X consoles AND I believe the Wing as well do not have the controls available to take advantage of this. Still...there is a noticeable difference from a DL16 and a DL251 with regard to audio quality. Maybe (arguably) a bit of overkill with the M/X series consoles?

It has been a few years since I have used the pro series stage boxes with an X32. Audio quality is very good on those units. The tricky part is routing the outputs depending on what model of the pro series you have. I wish I had access to one for making some videos on it! One of these days I will have to track one down to borrow for a bit of time.

We have the 32 channel version, because we want maximum flexibility.

I can tell...you lift bro

The only difference is a huge difference. Noise level difference and preamp quality take you very far along.
