8 X32 RACK DIGITAL MIXER User Manual
Startup and Shutdown, and Update:
We recommend switching the X32 RACK mixer on rst, and shutting it o last
when any sound system is connected. This will prevent the possibility of any
unexpected noises being transmitted during the startup/shutdown process.
The Setup screen’s general preference page contains a Safe Main Levels function.
When activated, the console automatically mutes the main LRC levels when booting
the console. It also prevents any scene loading from aecting (i.e. turning up)
the mains levels.
Synchronization and Sample Rate settings for the console can be adjusted on the
Setup/Cong page, but please note that sample rate changes will require a
reboot of the console. When you see a red square indication at the top section of
the main display, please verify if the synchronization settings on Setup/Cong
make sense.
In order to prevent any errors by losing power during a store operation,
we recommend using the “Safe Shutdown” function from the Setup/Global page.
NOTE: The X32 RACK can be locked against unintended use by activating ‘Lock Console’
from the Setup/Global page. In this state the UI will not allow any changes to be made
and the display shows “X”. Keep HOME depressed for about 5 seconds to unlock the
X32 again.
The X32 rmware can easily be updated by performing the following steps:
• Download the new console rmware from the X32 RACK product page onto
the root level of a USB thumb drive
• Plug the USB thumb drive into the front panel USB connector while the console
is turned o
• Hold the USB button depressed while switching the console on. While booting,
the X32 RACK will run a fully automatic rmware update, which will take
2-3 minutes longer than the regular boot sequence
When no update le is available on the USB drive, or when it is corrupted,
the update mode will remain active, preventing the X32 from booting regularly.
Switch the console o and back on without holding the USB button to boot the
console with the existing rmware.
CAUTION: Please do not block the vent openings on the sides of the X32 RACK
cabinet! Specically when mounting the X32 RACK in a road case, please ensure
there is sucient space to allow for some airow.
