  1. you COULD do that - and I would need to crack open an actual console but it's there ion compatible with latest firmware. under the aux out roouting TB for talkback is on the very last row. once you have it on the aux outs then it's just a matter of routing aux outs down the aes50 line, no need to sacrifice aa front of house bus if you don't want to.
  2. apologies for coming to this late - I tend not to check in here as often as I should! regarding gain split - it's been around a lot longer than 3 but yes was an addition at v2 re sending talkback to monitors. no one asked if you are using the x32 on stage simply as a stagebox and mixing monitors from foh. If so, I usually just use channel 32 and take it out of the main LR - then add it to each monitor I want using sof. if you want to route the actual talkback from an FOH console to a monitor console then the following works: Talkback Setup Talkback Input - Route to MON FOH Routing Screen Aux Out, Aux 1 -> Talkback Aes50-a, Outputs 1-8 -> Aux 1-6/MON MON Routing Screen Home, Aux In Remap -> Aes50-a1-2 I can't lay claim to this - it was written in 2014 by Matt Brown (ex Lou Reed and Rodriguez monitor engineer) for the x32 pro user facebook group that I help moderate. To be honest there are a hundred and one routing options that can take either the monitor or an unused channel - see discussions above. what makes the above method different is you burn up only the local aux outs on the foh console. leaving buses and anything on the p16 lines free. the trick is to tinker with the options that have little effect on the rest of your routing.
  3. re changes you have missed a few upgrades. 1. original issue 2. fader caps changed to square edged, all fader capstains glued in place, card changed to usb only 3. rubber buttons 4. front access (haven't seen one of these yet)
  4. theoretically if your s16 and x32 are on same power source via ups I can't see how you get a sync drop - but in fairness I tend to use ups where I don't trust the supplies - in a UK theatre that's not usually an issue but I have learned that it isn't just dipping below 110 (which is where many problem posts have an issue) - I have seen that the x32 will run happily if the 240v voltage slowly changes (gradual load increase) but they do not respond well to fast voltage fluctuations. I did two or three shows which were outdoors but on dodgy mains (not generator) supplies last year and the year before. I put a volt meter inline at FOH to see what was happening - glitches and freezes happened when the incoming voltage varied. a ups stopped that dead BUT I tend not to take s16s out on those sorts of gigs - just as easy and more robust using an analogue multicore. the ups tends to stay on the vanfor theatre shows - UK theatres are in the main pretty reliable.
  5. re repeated failures - have you got a ups in line - they really don't like voltage variations, what mission critical computer kit would you ever think about running without a ups? the UK power supply is pretty solid but I still travel with a ups and make a judgement decision every gig I go to as to whether to use it or not (theatres generally no, hotels maybe, outdoor events always.) re spares - have you talked to music group directly in kidderminster? I would be very surprised if they were not selling post warranty parts. their prices have always been reported as reasonable too. incidentally, I am given to believe it's one, non region specific power supply in the x32 units, i.e. not 110 or 240 but both.
