Re: live reports
Hi guys,
two X32 successfully used for FOH/Mon consoles last weekend
Absolutely no problems on the X32 side, I did monitors, 8 mixes for a mid sized Salsa band, 27 inputs
The new task for me was the reponsibility for all gains in combination with the very nature of a Salsa band soundcheck

~:smile: , me speaking no Spanish and the musicians and their BE speaking only Spanish didnt help to introduce any order into the soundcheck.
Another challenge was the 99dB LaEQ limit, which is impossible to do with this kind of music, so I ended with giving the musicians less power than they would have liked on stage, I even compressed some monitor sends to make life easier for FOH.
Their BE took at least ten photos of the board as I was told by our babysitter and was able to operate the desk despite the language barrier, says alot about the work flow on the X32 IMO.
One slight drawback:
I used the "Master fader as Solo Master option" and discovered that this fader rules the headphone and the monitor out, means if you are using HP and listen wedge, you have to work on the dedicated pots to switch one of them off.
On the LS9 I can have the fader controling the wedge and the HP is controled by the dedicated knob.
Because I did exactly the same band some time ago on the LS9, I can say for me: the overall work flow on monitor duty is much nicer on the X32
