It’s a “One-Rack Attack”! The X32 CORE
takes the brain of the agship X32 digital
mixing console and packs it all into a single
rack space. Combine the X32 CORE with our
S16 digital snakes to eortlessly run sound
with high I/O counts in multiple locations.
Dual AES50 networking CAT5 connectors
allow for up to 96 remote inputs and
48 output channels to be controlled from
and processed by X32 CORE. All of this can
be managed concurrently from various
locations and instances of our free control
software applications, XiQ, XiControl
and XControl.

Front Side Control

A set of front panel controls can
be pre-congured by the engineer
to enable a restricted amount of user
interaction, while hiding away all the
complexity. The rear panel expansion
port allows inserting optional I/O cards
to interface with existing networked
audio infrastructure.

At the Heart of it All

The X32 CORE forms the nucleus of an
ultra-exible studio control room setup
when paired with S16 I/O and P16 personal
monitoring systems in each tracking room.
The built-in 32 x 32 USB recording interface,
8 stereo eects engines, zero-latency
monitoring (independent from DAW)
and 100% total recall deliver the tools to
handle any project you dare to tackle.
