AES50 from M32 to X32

[samchurchill]

Hi, I had a problem this morning which I couldn’t solve in time for our church service to start, so we worked around it, but I’m puzzled as, although we haven’t done it before, I think it should have worked. Can anyone spot anything that I’m doing wildly wrong here…

 

We’ve got 2 x DL16 stage boxes daily-chained going into the AES50-A port of our M32 and I wanted to push all of these inputs to our X32 to do a multi-track recording. I took a (tested) network cable from AES50-B on to M32 to the AES50-A on the X32 and configured the routing on the M32 to send AES50-A 1-32 (in the 4 blocks of 8 channels) to AES50-B 1-32 (again, in 4 blocks). I then checked that the input routing on the X32 was listening to AES50-A 1-32 for the 4 blocks of 8.

 

Although the M32 was getting the signal fine (which is part of our normal setup), nothing was coming into the X32.

 

Thanks for any help!

Check your AES50 clock settings in Setup > Config tab. I've never tried to link two consoles this way but I guess the X32 will need to be set to use AES 50 port A for synchronisation rather than the default setting of internal clock.

Thanks, I’ll look at that next time the kit is out.

 

This reminds me, it did also show “M32” in the appropriate bit of the X32’s display (top right) and vice versa, so they were detecting each other.

Was it green or red though?

 

If it was red it will either be a clock related or sample rate issue.

I’m afraid I can’t remember… One half of me thinks I would have noticed that as I know to check for the green icon, but the other half isn’t sure. Will look at that when I try it again
