Hello Musictribe
I've had the x32 and a XR18 for years with zero problems what so ever. Anyway; My brand new MR 18 died when I tried to route a recorded track back to the console in my DAW.
It's simply dead now, no light anywere. I'm thinking it could be a fuse or something, but it has no fuse on the outside. Do you think my only option is to send it back (and wait for months) or can I check my fuse idea out without breaking the warrenty?
Hi Kaj @Dionysos,
Welcome to the forum. Before doing anything drastic like sending it back, have you tried plugging in your XR18 to the same power cord to make sure the cord, etc. is working? To be honest with you, I haven't opened up my MR18 (or XR18 for that matter) to see if there is a fuse inside. Both have been working flawlessly since I got them.
Hi Paul
Yes, I've tried that. I geues it's just bad luck.
It did, however, sound great the four days it was alive. I don't know if it was the better pre-amps, but it was really sweet, the fx came to life in a new way too. I will send it back - and hope to hear it again in 2019
Thanks for your input
If it's brand new, can't you just return it to where you bought it and get another one? I'd expect that to be much quicker than trying to get it repaired under warranty.

Hello,
Does anyone have experience if the Waves X-WSG card works in a M32C ?

I would like to use the aes 3 stereo input of a active system to avoid multible conversion. I have also a DL32 and a M32 but the mr would be perfect for smaller stuff butit is loosing the live in the play back. I have used a yellowteck aes converter but the latency of 6ms is round trip with logic is just to much. Is there any sollution maybe with ultranet ?
Thank You.

Hi @Alphasounds,
The MR18 does not have AES input or output. Ultranet is a proprietary (Klark Teknik) one directional protocol that is designed to feed P16 and Ultranet capable speakers (eg. TurboSound iQ series). Also the M-Air (and X-Air) family of consoles were not designed for expansion. If you do need this, consider getting an X32 Rack and one of the AES capable stagebox (such as the DL16).
Thanks Paul. Sorry for the Spelling mistakes.
The X air + DL 32 is just too ugly ...
I muted the high mid out and use the subs, from aux 6 with another set of active tops with no DSP. The difference in latency is very little with a compressor plug in at the master.
GreetingThor.
Hi guys,
I am having som problems with the usb memoty stick.
the desk doesn't see it, nor the offline editor.
is there a special way to format it ? or what could the problem be ???
Wish I had a Pro9 to then have your issue!..so...Just guessing here but the size of the drive usually matters, probably less than 32 gig will work. If it were me I would try 16 gig or 8. Some drives just won’t work no matter what. Try formatting it Fat32 that is usually the format used. Some 32gig or larger drives may work if you can format them using fat 32. My best guess!
Hi. If as Garyh says it has to be in FAT32.
And I ask you, do you already have any scenes or Upgrades inside the USB memory?
If you have to update the version. Create a folder with the name
DL3Upgrades and inside place the file as it was downloaded.
And insert the memory into the USB port with the blue LED on.
You may have already done this.
I hope it is useful.
I remain at your service
best regards

I’ve recently used a Pro2 and the Spectrum Analyzer on it is really nice. Just like the animation on it is super responsive and tight and because of that it’s more useful to me than any other spectrum analyzer I’ve used. I’m just using the default settings on it. Anybody know if there’s a way to get that same spectrum analyzer software as standalone software on your computer? Or better yet as a plug-in? I’m expecting that doesn’t exist, so this is more a request to Midas to make that a thing. I’m also wondering if anybody knows of a software spectrum analyzer that’s similar in its responsiveness and animation to Midas’s
Thanks for the feedback,
i'll pass this on to the MIDAS team. I don't think there is a software/Plug-In version available.
For some free Spectrum analysers checks these:
I can recommend Melda's Multi Analyser, which i bought last year:

Just saw on twitter Midas put the Tc Electronic vss4 in the Pro series. Think they'll add it to m32?

Question: Will Scenario 2 work? We want to leave the M32 powered off, and be able to use the X32 Core AES50-A to the DL32 AES50-B.
No it will not work. The DL32 can only receive the wordclock from the AES50 A port. So if you turn off the M32 (with sync as internal - thus master clock), you will have to connect the X32 Core to the DL32 AES50 A port and turn on the sync (on X32 Core) to internal. Just remember that when you want scenario to switch it back (AES50 B and sync to AES50 A).
If you don't want to hassle with changing sync and ports, a better way to set this up would be:
M32 [B] <-> [A] X32 Core [B] <-> [A] DL32
Make the X32 Core master clock (sync = Internal) and M32 as slave (sync = AES50 B)
X32 Core Routing, AES50-a screen (DL32 inputs to M32)
* Outputs 1-8 -> AES50 B1-8
* Outputs 9-16 -> AES50 B9-16
* Outputs 17-24 -> AES50 B17-24
* Outputs 25-32 -> AES50 B25-32
X32 Core Routing, AES50-b screen (M32 outputs to DL32 outputs)
* Outputs 1-8 -> AES50 A1-8
* Outputs 9-16 -> AES50 A9-16
For scenario 2, if you want X32 Core outputs to go to the DL32, you will probably want to change the Routing, AES50-b screen to:
* Outputs 1-8 -> Out 1-8
* Outputs 9-16 -> Out 9-16
Thanks Paul. Would the proposed second setup introduce additional latency to the M32 since the audio is ostensibly now passing through the X32 Core?

If I remember correctly the AES50 latency is 0.9ms. So if you are traveling the speed of light, I guess that would be significant.
I wonder exactly how they would add up. Maybe it's 0.9ms per stage and side, so M32->X32Core->DL32->X32Core->M32 might introduce 4 * 0.9ms = 3.6ms round trip.
Well all I can say is that of all of the many users I've helped (over the 6+ years) with similar scenarios (console <> console <> stagebox <> stagebox), I've yet to hear from one that complained about latency issues.
I first loved my X32 and now i fell in Love with my M32 Live but.......
please, will there ever be a chance to load reverbs or the Combinator to the right side of the
FX Rack?
No for either the X or M 32 I'm afraid. many of the FX that are in the left hand side are very processor intensive and the mixers don't have enough processing power to make all the effects work in all eight FX slots. You can only have the simpler FX in the right hand four slots.
Hi @NelsonVega
Typically this is due to a corrupt firmware, likely it just downloaded incorrectly. Try downloading the update file again from the website and if you can connect to the internet via landline, even better.
Re-format your USB drive (FAT or FAT32) and create a folder ' DL2Upgrades ' - then place the unzipped .tar file in the folder and try upgrading the console firmware again.
Let me know if you have any other issues.
My set up is: on stage several instruments, MR18 to plug in everything on stage, long cat5e cable to go to Macbook pro to control MR18 with M-air-edit.
I'm using qlab4 to play sound files (and also play video and send osc commands). Is there a posibility to make a virtual link between qlab outputs (stereo) and two inputs of the MR18? Or do i have to bring two long cables to connect the outputs of my macbook to the XLR inputs of my MR18?
Thanks Edwin
There is no cheap, easy way to get low-latency audio down the Ethernet cable. A remote computer on the stage end, or your main computer on stage controlled by an iPad is possible. I would think your idea is the easiest, simple solution.
