X32 Matrix Setup Guide 

 
 
 

Step 1: Assign the matrix mix to an output. 


 
1. Navigate to the routing screen and select the out 1-16 tab. Select an unused analog output. 
2. Select ‘Matrix 1’ for the Output Signal. 
3. Now, connect your speakers to the correlating XLR output on the back of your mixer (or digital 
snake). 
 
Step 2: Activate delay, if needed. 
 
If you can hear sound bleed from the auditorium, activate the delay by pressing the knob under the 
‘Delay’ setting (activated = yellow) and use the same knob to set the approximate distance the room 
where the matrix mix will be heard is from the speakers in the auditorium. 
 
Step 3: Route the main mix to the matrix. 
 
1. Navigate to the HOME screen. 
2. Press the ‘SELECT’ button above the MAIN mix fader. 
3. Navigate to the ‘sends’ tab and bring the level up for #1 (Matrix 1) to 0dB. 
 
Step 4: Use buses to create a custom mix. 
 
There are many ways you can do this (don’t be afraid to get creative), but the most simple would be to 
use one bus for everything that needs to be louder in your matrix mix than the auditorium (i.e. the 
pastor’s microphone). To do this: 
 
1. SELECT an unused bus, navigate to the ‘config’ tab and set the Preconfiguration to ‘Post Fader’.  
2. Navigate to the sends tab and bring the level up for #1 (Matrix 1) to 0dB.  
3. Under the ‘MAIN BUS’ section of your mixer, make sure the MONO BUS and STEREO BUS are not 
selected (otherwise this bus will also go to your main mix). 
4. Finally, press the ‘SENDS ON FADER’ button and then use the channel faders to create your 
custom mix (i.e. increase the level of the pastor’s mic or the drum mics). 
 
Keep in mind, this is sending additional signal to the matrix mix for each channel you turn up 
(considering the main mix is already going to the matrix). So, be sure to keep an eye on your matrix’s 
level meter to make sure you are not sending a peaking signal. 
Step 5: Bring the matrix fader up to 0dB. 
 
Press the ‘MATRIX 1-6’ button and bring up the fader for Mtx1 to 0dB. If your matrix is close to peaking, 
you can use the matrix’s fader to bring it down to an acceptable level. 
 
Step 6: If needed, add EQ and compression to the matrix. 
 
Use the Dynamics and Equalizer controls to solve any dynamics or EQ problems for your matrix mix. 
For example, you may want to apply a low cut filter so you are not sending super-low frequencies to 
ceiling-mounted speakers. 
 
Bonus: How to Record a Matrix Mix on the X32 
 
To send a matrix mix to the X32’s USB recorder, press the VIEW button within the USB RECORDER 
section. Navigate to config tab and set the signal source to your desired matrix. If you are recording 
mono, be sure to also set the Right signal source to the same matrix. If recording stereo, you will need 
to link two matrix channels together and then set the Left signal source to one and the Right signal 
source to the other.
