Monitor out noise
I'm having 5-6 kHz noise on the monitor out...what's the procedure for fixing this? Any disassembly instructions?

Hi Dejan,
See my post #4982 on 2-14-2013.
Short version: You cannot fix this. Maybe the Behringer Service Center can, and maybe it can't.
Also, you opening the console voids the warranty.
Good luck,
Dan
Hi ,
One more quick question,to any knowledgable Behringer Rep. Would the S16 work as a standalone analog in/analog out
I/O box? In other words, taking eight analog inputs and sending them through an S16 as say, a monitor manager, without need of the Cat5 connection?
Are you saying the Behringer Service Center sometimes cannot fix the problem??? And those owners are left to deal with that noise in their irremediable consoles ???

Flashing lights for alternate modes are a necessity.
On Avid VENUE, a mute button light has 3 possible indications: off - the channel mute is not engaged; on steady - the channel has been muted manually by direct activation of that channel's mute button and; on flashing - the channel mute has been activated by a mute group. And if a channel is part of a mute group but is manually muted, it will remain muted when the mute group is deactivated.
Tim, approximately how quickly do the lights blink on the VENUE?
I understand how a blinking interface can be useful. When using blinking interfaces, though, I've found some rates of blinking to be more annoying than others. I heard that Apple did some research into this, but I don't know any specifics.

Should we keep the original box for possible warranty fixes or does Behringer send another box?
I'd like to make some room by storing the original box somewhere or breaking it down so it would be nice to know if they send another for returns.
Anyone know about this?
Sorry, I didn't see the other request. It seems that the idea is quite popular. Eric, why do you think it might not be possible? This is the sort of thing that is very easy to implement in firmware, I believe, but I'm no expert.
My statement was conjecture. You have experience? Please enlighten me!
No experience, pure conjecture based on my semi-informed impression about the capability of cirquitry available over the last 30 years.
My impression of the Sony Oxford was that it was built as one massively powerful DSP core along construction principles found in supercomputers like the Cray at the time, while the (related) DMX-R100 was built with a multiple of RISC or SHARC processors that worked on specialized tasks and separated datastreams. The Oxford could route anything anywhere, and it was all done in software, while the R100 had some limitations because the flow of datastreams were to some extent hardwired. These two desks represented not only two extremes of the pricing scale, but also two different directions of hardware and how that influenced flexibility.
I don't really know anything about the internals of the X32, and how many DSPs share the work, but am assuming there is a central DSP that communicates with an IO section and that there might be a software controlled multiplexer or matrix between the two. Routing, whether that is rearranging chunks in a serial stream or connecting a n-wide bus through a matrix is in all probability done by setting bits in a n by n table.
I can understand that at some point, the streams from the ADs are likely to be routed by the stream size, ie. if the AD is a 192KHz device that will do 4 channels at 48 KHZ, than the routing will be done by 4 up to a point where the stream will be split or multiplexed further, (or by 8 if it is a 384KHz device), and that if indeed the X32 is based on processing of several 384KHz datastreams, a lot of the routing will be defined by the streams, and thus the limitation will be due to hardware architecture.
Anyway, I'm just rambling, pay no attention ~~:smile:
Probably because I'm just talking gibberish. ~;-)~:wink:I feel I can comprehend a small amount of what you said, but the rest made me pass out sitting up for fifteen minutes.

It would be good if someone from Behringer could tell us a bit about the construction of the X32, show us a block diagram and give us some insight to the design philosophy, but that is probably wishful thinking or it would have happened already.
Before you get too far up on your high horse about this, realize that this is an extraordinary console for the price and does many, many things remarkably well. The company, clearly driven by the applaudable zeal of its founder, as a whole seems to be incredibly responsive to every other X32 problem, as well as to regularly fixing nuanced issues that only continue to make a good console better.
Also understand that if the monitor outputs are super important to you, you can get that same output function out of any of the other 16 analog outputs, and they are all dead quiet (or what can pass for dead quiet in the real world).
That said, the last I heard from the Service Center about this issue, and you can read earlier in this thread everything that I've heard, they were still grappling with the idea that there is, in fact, a problem with the monitor outputs. As shown by the post I referenced, all nine of my consoles (which, to be fair, are all of the same vintage more or less despite receiving them over a four month period) have the problem.
Further, since I've been following this issue, I am not aware of anyone who has reported having this problem with their console subsequently reporting that the problem has been solved. I am not omnicient, though, and may have missed something.
For my company's purposes, rerouting the monitor outputs to any of the other 16 analog outputs fully and completely solves the problem, leaving us with nine wonderfully affordable and functional consoles.
I hope this perspective is helpful.
