X32 PA Setup with S16

X32 PA Setup with S16
Using a shielded Cat5-e ethernet cable, connect the S16's AES50-A jack to your X32's AES50-A port. On the X32, press the SETUP button and go the global page. Use ENCODER 2 to choose a sample rate and then select INTERNAL Synchronization. Press the Routing button and assign the AES50 inputs to the X32 channels.

Straight forward explanation. Lovely. Thank you.

[@Heywoodj1969]

You should be using bonded and shielded ethercons for aes50 connections, or you may blow your ports through esd ( static electricity) discharge.

[@yingchehuang8068]

Dear Mr. Heywoo We discovered long ago that CAT6 S-UTP with a skew delay of 40ns at 100m will report errors on some aes50 ports But this specification is allowed by TIA, such a large skew delay is to have a better NEXT because CAT6 requirements are higher than CAT5 Later, we use the SFTP structure to reduce the skew delay to 6ns@100m, which can make AES50 work to 130M in the experiment This is my video to share with you at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rafHe5h7m62rnqc si=GflSbEW1KpzwHG9z&t=620

I am a little beat confused, in a case when you have 2 FOH speakers and a Subwoofer, where do you plug your subwoofer on the stage box?

[@junejhunkie]

DrewPlanet those are assignable. The mere convenience of having a digital desk. Pretty much any i/o can be configure to whatever type of use you might need it for. Mains/aux/matrix etc...

[@rogpmiranda]

Hello, what are the cable types? Thank you.

[@jaybourbon8608]

I'm trying to setup this with the stage box on the stage for mics and drum mics ect. I don't want to have it mounted in the rack. I have a 100 ft shielded Ethercon cable. Can this be done? I may not have not set the XLR settings correctly. I'm not getting main fader or channel fader but I haveoc inputs. I also want to run aux in for my phone to play music between songs on the board. Everything else I want in the stage box. On stage.

[@johnpearce3397]

For the output speakers you plugged into 7+8 did you have to route on X32 Main LR to output 7+8 on X32 to correspond to S16 output 7+8?

[@GregKirkpatrick360]

yes, I'm wondering that too, and how to route the subs?

[@drummaguyhixy]

note for people starting out DO NOT USE ETHERNET CABLES TO CONNECT BOARD TO STAGEBOX/DAISY CHAIN 2..... Use a properly shielded Ethercon cable designed for this purpose. all good and well bench testing at home but if you use normal ethernet patch cables in a live setting, you'll start wondering why you get lots of noise, sync dropouts and worst case, fry your gear

[@childishtombino1275]

From my understanding, it doesn't matter unless you're running it alongside other cables - namely power cables. I suppose the safer option is to just go shielded but it doesn't matter if you're smart about routing.

[@drummaguyhixy]

@@childishtombino1275 it absolutely does matter. I've seen stageboxes fry from a small number of items on stage. Any EMI or spikes will cause the box and console to lose sync if it's not correctly shielded. There's a reason that these items of equipment are now labelled in big bold letters to use STP only and reiterate in the manual. You can be as smart as you want with routing but that bears nothing on AES cabling

[@childishtombino1275]

@@drummaguyhixy Fair enough. Looks like real world won against 'google theories'. This is something I'll need to consider when I start moving to digital stageboxes.

[@mrjn5786]

Hi how can i use the auxiliary system of that x32?

[@ManoChannelTuNelysk]

@@brainplosionincc5362 I dunno, first thing that comes to mind is have some playback things controled from FOH pluged in to aux ins, maybe some wireless monitoring systems taking their inputs from the aux outs.

[@landonlewsaw1762]

Foldbacks. Priceless. Do they go in the boot with your pudding? Everywhere other than the UK they're called monitors.

[@tocker1218]

The channel 17 is not working and I do the same process

[@aventurehero1220]

How to setup the s16 address you never show tq

[@LadyonKeys]

Hey, How's it going?! Can I use ONE Cat5E cord for ALL 32 channels in the A input?

[@rayfooeducation]

Yes all 32 channels
