re: X32 Discussion
In talking with Joe Sanborn (Behringer's Global Manager, Channel Marketing), he said that the sale of passive/active speakers in the MI market heavily leans towards active now.
That said, I believe the intended audience for the X32 would include many passive installs and portable rigs that are bi-amped, tri-amped, or use aux (bus) fed subs.
I don’t think it would be an unreasonable firmware request to make changes to allow the X32 to be used as a crossover/light speaker processing.
Unless I’ve missed something, there are three (3) items that would need to be changed/added to allow the X32 to be used as a crossover:
- On the buses, the low-cut and hi-cut filter type and slopes need to be selectable. (Probably various Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley types. That could be done with one UI selection list, with fixed slopes. Or, the slopes could be another UI variable.)
- On the outputs, the precision of the delay should be increased. (It's currently 1 decimal place.)
- On the outputs, there should be a method to reverse the polarity.
