3.3 Passos inicials de connexió
- Connect the S32 to a power outlet using the provided power cable.
- Connect the AES50 A or B port to your digital mixing console (e.g., Behringer X32/M32) using a shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable.
- Connect your microphones or line-level sources to the XLR inputs on the front panel.
- Connect the XLR outputs to your ampamplificadors, altaveus amplificats o sistema de monitorització.
- Power on your digital mixing console first, then the S32.
4. Funcionament de l'S32
The Behringer S32 functions primarily as a remote-controlled stage box. Most operational parameters, such as preamp gain, phantom power, and output routing, are controlled directly from your connected digital mixing console.
4.1 Remote Control via AES50
Once connected via AES50, your digital mixing console will automatically detect the S32. You can then remotely control the following parameters:
- Pref. Micròfonamp Guany: Adjust the input gain for each of the 32 Midas-designed preamps.
- Alimentació fantasma +48V: Individually enable or disable phantom power for condenser microphones.
- Encaminament d'entrada: Assign S32 inputs to channels on your mixing console.
- Encaminament de sortida: Route signals from your mixing console to the 16 XLR outputs of the S32.
4.2 ULTRANET Connectivity
The ULTRANET port allows for seamless integration with Behringer P16 personal monitoring systems or Turbosound iQ series loudspeakers. This provides a digital audio stream for monitoring or distributed sound systems.
- Connect the ULTRANET port of the S32 to the ULTRANET input of your P16-M personal mixer or compatible Turbosound speaker.
- Audio channels can then be routed from your mixing console to the ULTRANET stream for personal monitoring or speaker distribution.
4.3 actualitzacions de microprogramari
Revisa periòdicament el Behringer website for firmware updates. Updates can be installed via the USB port on the rear panel, typically requiring a computer and specific Behringer software.
5. Manteniment
