[QUOTE="Jim Schmidtke, post: 66787, member: 1844"] re: X32 Discussion Hello Tom, Yes, I struggled with that problem as well. I think you would have to make the cables yourself. The way I resolved it, was to use a Kramer VS-1616a 16 x 16 stereo matrix router that I bought on eBay. It accepts 16 stereo balanced inputs and facilitates unbalanced stereo outputs, all on phoenix connectors. I purchased a 16 channel XLRF to TRS snake and cut off the TRS pigtails. I connected 2 XLR console outputs to each of 6 router stereo inputs, and connected the 16 cut-off TRS pigtails to the 16 router outputs. These pigtails plug into two Behringer HA-8000 headphone amps which, in turn, feed 16 headphone jacks located throughout our studio. The beauty of this (on top of solving the interface cable problem) is that I can route any of my six headphone mixes to any or all of our studio jacks. Kramer makes software that allows for easy router changes via RS-232. I run it on the same computer that I use for X-Control. (An old P4 XP machine). Hope this helps.
