This effectively make the X32 a USB audio device on the host computer.īare in mind that this would only be a solution if your audio source computer is close to your X32 console.
Another way to connect computer audio to the X32 is utilizing the USB card on the console, if your console has one.
You will only be able to lift the ground if it is a balanced signal. If you do find that you have a buzz this is a ground loop you will want to either isolate it, or lift the audio ground. One thing to keep track of is if you hear a buzz on the channel when you solo it. If your device has a line level out, use it! You will find that there are a few different levels of line level. You can find more information on that here. If you are looking to purchase something, using a pair of direct boxes is a great way to add in the isolation into the connection. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can wire one up yourself! Find a audio transformer and you can wire it inline. This noise can be reduced and even completely removed by the use of an isolation transformer. Or if you have a case on your phone, Monoprice also has this cable which is more thin. With that being said, typically when playing something from a PC, iPhone, or CD, the signal is going to be polished enough to the point where we would not need to apply compression, so in order to save my XLR inputs and main channels, I would rather connect these devices into the Auxes.Ĭheck out this cable from Monoprice which has yielded good results for me. We have two avenues with the Behringer X32 and Midas M32 for channels to be presented to our main bus, we have the main Channels and the Auxes Aux Another main difference between them is that the Auxes have limited processing to where only the EQ section is able to be applied to the signal. I have gotten a lot of questions in the past regarding connecting external devices to the Behringer X Today I am going to go through a few of my thoughts when regarding devices like these.
