X32/M32 Routing for In-Ear Monitors 

Wow, thanks for the feedback and encouragement. Let me know if you have other questions.

Someone in our volunteer team accidentally erased all the eq presets in the m32 console. Do I need to reset the firmware of the console to restore the presets? If I do, will I loose all the scenes, snippets and other settings? What is the best way to fix this?

Awesome. I’m glad you found the video helpful. Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks for the encouragement. Let me know if you have specific questions.

That’s great, thanks for the encouragement. This is another video where I discuss monitors and this might add more info to your arsenal to be prepared. Let me know if you have other questions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zwYcNieISF4.htmlsi=dGMAqBX-gWeH3WDU

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad you found something helpful inside.

This is a great question and I do not have an answer for you. The S16 runs across AES50 protocol and I’m not sure what the Yamaha will see when you do those connections.

The easiest way to make this happen is to go to Routing > Output and map your monitors to Outputs 1-8, then set 9-13 as OFF and finally 14-16 as your L, R, M. Once this is complete you can go to Routing > XLR and and set Output 1-8 to map with Out 9-16. Finally, go to Routing > AES50 and make sure AES50a 1-8 is set to Out 1-8. If you need help and want to work together directly, you can fill out the contact card on my website and we can start a conversation outside of RU-vid. sound.AllamHouse.com

You can do everything separately meaning you can build a mix (main, MixBUS, or Matrix) and then send that mix out the XLR, the AUX Out, the USB Card, or up to a stage box across AES50.

Panning an input towards L or R will impact the Main mix and will be followed (by default) into any linked MixBUS pairs. You can make different panning choices for your MixBUS pairs by selecting the channel, going to Home > Sends tab and then use the encoder knobs to deselect "follow LR Pan" and then make specific panning choices for that MixBUS pair.

@@AllamHouse Thank you! It worked!

Yep, all you need to do is go to the BUS 1 and push the SOLO button. This will send the signal to your headphones on the console for you to listen to. You can use the headphone volume knob to adjust the overall volume for your headphones.

holy crap another dope revelation thank you! @@AllamHouse

It is possible to do this, but maybe not the most recommended. I am assuming you are running your monitor on a stereo MixBUS pair. By default, the MixBUS are mapped to XLR outputs so that gives you half of the monitor mix right away. You can check this by going to Routing > OUT and finding what output your MixBUS is mapped to. You can also confirm it is setup as Post Fader so the Bus fader will work the overall volume of the mix going out of the board. NEXT, go to Routing > AUX, select a AUX output to use and then confirm the source is your other monitor MixBUS. Again, confirm the tap point is set to Post Fader. This will give you both sides of your stereo mix leaving the console with one on XLR and the other on the 1/4" (or RCA) output of the console. This video might be helpful to you as it is an overview of the Routing screen and the tabs included within. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PpeqRuPGi2Y.html

Using the BUS options for building monitor mixes is a very common setup. This video covers these general concepts and I do discuss adding Click and how you have to remove it from going to the Stereo LR BUS which feeds your house mix. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zwYcNieISF4.html

@@AllamHouse I watched this 3 times and did not see anything relating to adding Click and how you have to remove it from going to the Stereo LR BUS which feeds your house mix. I don't think I missed anything??????

The process to remove from the Stereo LR Bus is to find your Click channel, push the select button, then find the Stereo LR Bus button just to the left of the screen and push it. If it is orange, the signal is going to the mains (Stereo LR Bus) and if it is grey it is not. You want it to be grey so the signal is fully usable on the console, t is not going to your main house mix.

When you run IEMs you want to make sure your Bus sends for your monitors are set to Pre Fader. This will make sure that changes made to your house mix do NOT impact your monitors.

Thanks. The problem here is that When we make changes on the IMS. The change appen in the house. ⁉️⁉️.

This sounds like you have the BUS set to go into the mains (Stereo LR Bus). Go to the BUS, Hit Select, find the button next to the screen that says "Stereo LR BUS" and push it so it is NOT orange.

I'm assuming you are running a stereo MixBUS that feeds two outputs that are connected to your P1 via XLR cables coming out of your SD8. You would want to route the MixBUS pair directly to the XLR output and not use the Ultranet features. The Ultranet only works if you have the P16 boxes that are little miniature mixers. In the end you will want to make sure you are building the desired mix on the console by selecting the MixBUS, hitting Sends on Fader and then adding all the instruments you want to hear. If you need one-on-one help to get up and running quick, let me know and we can start a conversation outside of RU-vid.

@@AllamHouse copy that thanks much. Sent you an email. But will try the above and see how that comes out. Appreciate the assistance

This worked. Thanks again

Unfortunately, no. The DCA (Digital Controlled Amplifier) is just a remote control and cannot be converted to a group or MixBUS setup. You can convert the FX BUS sends into regular BUSes, but not the DCAs.

@@AllamHouse could you please explain how to do this with the fx buses . We have more than 6 singers and musicians that get there own headphone so after that a few has to share the same Mix this is why I need more ?

I'll try and put together a short video to help explain this to you and others.

@@AllamHouse Thank you so we are grateful for you.

All of the outputs on the X32 are mono outputs (except for the stereo headphone jack). If you want to have a stereo output you will need to use two outputs (either AUX, RCA, or XLR). Since you commented on a video about IEM's I assume you are interested in setting up stereo IEM's. Keep in mind this will require two BUSes linked together to create a stereo output and then you will route those BUSes to a pair of outputs. You can then connect those two outputs into your IEM.

@@AllamHouse thank you

I’m glad you found it helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.

This. Video discusses a mix for a live stream, but it is the same process if you are using the bus for a monitor. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xGt1z5I7blQ.htmlsi=7sYdI6YteB_ZkJ_D

I’m not quite sure how to understand this comment. If you are asking a question, please rephrase it so I can better assist.

I’m trying to connect my sennheisers item’s transmitters to Aux on x32 and tried routing but getting them routed is not understand how to route the Aux in order to hear them

Now ai understand. While this video discusses a mix for livestream using different cables than what you will need, it is still a MixBUS which is what you would use for your IEMs. You will use the strategy for routing your MixBUS out the AUX outs on the console to send the signal to your Sennhesier units. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xGt1z5I7blQ.html

Man, comedians around the world can't find work and you're trying to be funny... haha. Thanks for the giggle, I blame it on my kids.
