X32 need more XLR outs

[Sidney Shaw]

Hi, I am new here so hello!

I am building a system. I currently have an X32. However I need more than 16XLRs.
I was thinking of getting a X32 rack, and I could link them ( I also have a nice 19" cabinet ). Any better ideas?

Could I use a 6.3mm TRS balanced to XLR connector wire to gain an extra 6 outputs via the AUX outs?

Any other ideas? Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Sid

The quick answer is yes, you can link an X32 Rack and use its outputs via AES50. If you don't need the rest of the features of the X32Rack, consider an S16 digital snake box.

You can use the 1/4 inch TRS AUX outputs but note that they have a lower voltage output at 0 DBFS than the XLR outputs.

If you only need 8 out's a SD8 stage box may be a more cost effective solution. Also as it seems you know but again worth the mention you'll gain more places to send your buses,L/R outs, matrix, LCR etc. adding outputs but your output mix total from the desk will still be the same.
