    Future of MR line of digital mixers? | Digital Stagebox Mixers

    Hi there

    I love my MR18 mixer / interface - what is the future of this lineup?  Looks like maybe it is near the end of its product cycle and maybe something else is in development?  Would love to see an "MR32" and see it go to the next level.  Maybe with 16 combi jack mic pres and make it expandible to another 16 with a stage box.  I could see this being a great solution for small studios that want the flexibility to take the rig mobile to record live shows.

    Pro2C local output patch | Digital Mixers

    Hi all!

    I don't have my Pro2C to hand, and has been such time since i last used it, however, if push comes to shove, can I patch the mix busses out of the rear local Master L+R, Mono, Mon A+B, Talk Out? Realised I'll be using all outputs on a DL251 and LOCAL out 1-8, and still need 3 more outputs mixes in an upcoming show and just need confirmation!

     

    Thanks!

      Nigel67 Hi DanH. Apologies for the delay in replying. The Mix L,R, M, Monitor A + B and Talk Out are all patchable so you have another optional 8 outputs

      Dale_M Yes the PRO2 is still available even though it has been around for some years, however the new HD96 console may be of interest to you.

    Recalling scene does not change settings | Digital Mixers

    One of the people on our mix team says the console is not changed when he recalls his scene file. There are no safes set. In FW V 4.0.2, were there any issues with incomplete scene recalls?

    I just updated to V4.0.6

    Thanks,

    Bruce

      Paul_Vannatto One scene may have been inadvertently overwritten by another scene, particular if the one scene is in slot 0 - done it many of times (that is why I always export my scenes to files as backups. If you want to compare scenes, export both to files and use the comparison feature of X32 Scene Parser

      dhla40 I get this issue sometimes, but not always. I save my scenes to my Laptop via the X32-Edit app. When I recall a scene, some settings don't always get changed. For example phantom power and mix bus settings. Weird. I admin that it could be user error, but it seems to work right most of the time. I don't think I have any "safes" set. I'm still trying to sort it out.
      • August 26, 2021
    • BrotherBruce
      Paul_Vannatto In X32-Edit, there are scene safes (on the right side of the scenes screen) and there are Mixer Safes. Check both screens. If the issue is intermittent, it may be due to poor ethernet/wifi connection between the computer and X32 console. The OSC protocol (which X32-Edit and the console communicates) does not have any message verification (ie. checksum) to verify what has been sent was received. This means that if the connection is poor, OSC commands may have been sent but never received and X32-Edit would never know.

      Nigel67 Hi Bart. Is this the apple or android version please? If it is the apple version, we no longer support the M32-Q app as it has been replaced by the MX-Q app. If android, then I can report this to the design team as a software bug. Many thanks

    DL153 - First 8 Channels peaking, but no noise - not passing audio | Digital Stagebox Mixers

    We just moved our Pro 1 inbto a space where we had previously used an X32. We connected to our two DL153 units and everything shows they are connected and talking to each other. We ran software updates on all three units. We routed everything 1 to 1, so the last input on the second unit is patched to channel 32, etc. 

    The first 8 channels on both units are peaking on the meters at the board, but silently. They don't make a sound. When we plug in a mic, no audio passes through to the board. 

    Has anyone encountered something like this before? Any ideas what may cause it or how to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    Thanks!

      KevinMaxwell I had an issue like that once and I think it was that the synchronization was set to the wrong device or maybe it was 2 devices were set to be the master.

      Solved! Turns out it was a super easy fix and I feel kinda dumb. The stage boxes were set to 48khz and the board needs them to come in at 96khz. Apparently it’s a known issue (though I couldn’t find it on any discussion) that this causes peak noise. As soon as I set the boxes to 96khz, they worked great.

    M32C for Streaming | I/O Interfaces

    Good Day,

    Is it posible to send audio signal to a Computer which is 40 mts away from my M32c using Cat5?

      RexBeckett Hi Joinville, you could use a KT DN9630, positioned close to the PC, to do this. This device converts AES550 to USB 2.0 and provides a 48 channel bi-directional interface. AES50 can work through upto 100 meters of shielded Cat5e cable.

      • M32C for Streaming
        KevinMaxwell I had to look up what the KT DN9630 is and that looks like a very interesting device. It has a control data port on it do you know if this is duplicating the Ethernet port on the back of the mixer so you could use X32 edit on the computer to control the mixer with that port?

        DavidKnighton Hello Kevin, the control data port was intended for use with remote preamps, but the concept was abandoned. Now it's just a center piece for discussion.

      Nigel67 Hi Agne, if you want to use separate head amps, then go for the DL231. This will require upgrading to HD96 software version, but will then work on both HD and PROX. I would advise that you submit a ticket to the Technical Support team regarding this so they can talk you through the upgrade and I am sure you will have questions on upgrading the IO box through the HD96 as well as other upgrade questions. This can be done by clicking on the support tab at the top of the page. A new window will open. Scroll down and click on the Technical Support tab and submit a ticket. Many thanks

    Running talkback from foh when using a DL32 as digital split | Digital Mixers

    Hi, 

    So my current setup is M32r at foh and M32c for monitors which share a DL32 stage box. 

    Currently have the M32c setup as master on stage as I need to use the outputs on the DL32 to run mons. 

    Is there a way though I can set up a talkback at FOH that can be routed to those outputs so the band can hear me? 

     

    Many thanks

      Paul_Vannatto The only way to get talkback from FOH to the M32C is to put the M32C in between the FOH and DL32. It is not possible doing the way you have it setup, due to the fact that when the DL32 senses a console is connected to the AES50 B port, it outputs the DL32 inputs to that port. Therefore the signals from the FOH is unavailable.
      • August 9, 2021
    • JHAYWARD86
      KevinMaxwell I assume that you are able to assign outputs of the M32R and or the M32Core to the DL32. I have to figure out how to do that.

      I am not sure if this will work but a work around might be to make an output of the M32r on the DL32 be your talk back and then with a short XLR cable plug that into an input on the DL32 and assign that on the M32core to the monitor mixes that you want it on.

      Paul_Vannatto Reviewing the DL32 QSG (page 10), there is a way to send FOH talkback via DL32 to M32C, if you are not using the Ultranet (for P16, etc.). Banks 5 and 6 (33-48) do in fact pass through from AES50 A to B. So here is the routing to make it work.

      FOH, Routing, User Out screen
      * Output 1 -> Talkback 1 (part of AuxIn bank)
      * Output 2 -> Talkback 2 (part of AuxIn bank)
      FOH, Routing, AES50 A (or B depending on which port you are using) screen
      * Outputs 33-40 -> UserOut 1-8

      M32C, Routing, User In screen
      * Input 1 -> AES50 A33 (or B33 depending on which port you are using)
      * Input 2 -> AES50 A34 (or B33 depending on which port you are using)
      M32, Routing, Inputs screen
      * AuxIn Remap -> User In 1-2

      This will put FOH talkback 1/2 as inputs to M32C Aux 1/2, which can then be sent to the various buses.

      • Running talkback from foh when using a DL32 as digital split
        KevinMaxwell I had forgotten that in this install the X32 has 2 EtherCon cables going to the stage from FOH. One is going from the X32 AES50a to one of the SD16 stage boxes and the other is going from the X32 AES50b to the other SD16. Both of those are being replaced with the DL32. BTW we already have the DL32 and the X32Rack and the P16D we just haven’t installed it all yet. I was wondering if there is any advantage to using the second EtherCon from the X32 to the X32Rack and I don’t know if this would even work. I assume that would be from ASE50b to AES50b since that would be the only AES50 connections left to use. I don’t want to daisy chain from the DL32 to the X32Rack to the X32 at FOH. I want the DL32 to act as a splitter. Would this second EtherCon hooked up from AES50b to AES50b give me any more routing options from the X32 at FOH to the X32Rack?

        Just to give you as much information as possible that might be helpful there will still be about 4 of the P16-M that come from the P16D that is fed from the FOH X32 and maybe one that comes from the X32Rack. All of the mixes off of the X32Rack will be IEMs (mostly wireless) and most controlled using Mixing Station. I am working on a very user friendly way to make that work by using IDCAs.

        This routing question is not for the Talk Back they won’t be using that at all. They have had that capability but never got used to using it. This is so that I can route the Vocal Mix Bus from the X32 to the X32 rack. And I just found out their backing tracks and click are going to be moved from the drummers control to start things to the FOH control. I don’t think that this is a good idea and have told them so. So that means I also need to get that from FOH X32 to the X32Rack. I can actually hard wire all of these things if I want to or have to because there is a snake from stage to FOH that at the moment is only used for returns to the house speakers and the wedges. I will probably switch that over to the DL32 outputs. Or I can just use the DL32 outputs for this and hard-wire them to the X32Rack inputs. I will probably be using the Aux inputs for this.

        When this system was last put in there already was an analog snake in place and also 3 different churches used this building to meet and at least one of them used the analog sake for their inputs. There are now only 2 different churches meeting there and they share almost everything. The each had their own scene that they would recall for their service, but I am not sure if that is happening any more.

        This is actually a much smaller church then you would think. I think it seats less than or around 200.

        I hope I haven’t hijacked the OPs thread too much, I figured it was along the line of the same basic routing questions.

    M32R-live midi clock sync from external source | Digital Mixers

    Hello ! I just bought an M32R and I am looking for sync the bpm from external device only to console delay fx.

    I have an arranger keyboard (Korg pa4x), I am playing live all the songs, so the bpm it's there for every song and I am looking to send the tempo to the delay fx. 

    In user manual, section midi, it's written the commands for control change, etc. I don't need to control the board at all with midi, just to send the bpm from keyboard to console with midi 5pin cable

    Is there a way to do this? 

    Thank you !

    David.

      Paul_Vannatto Hi David, midi clock is not implemented in the X32/M32 midi control. In fact the X32/M32 midi has only a small subset of commands available, compared to the OSC protocol (which is its mother tongue). You would need an interface (such as an arduino or Raspberry Pi) to go between the Korg and M32 in order to convert the midi clock to the delay time (in milliseconds). I had actually started an arduino project to do this. But since I don't personally use midi with my M-Air, X32, or Wing and no one was clamouring for such an interface, the project was archived. If you are interested in this DIY project, I could provide what I have so far.
