There wasn't much concrete information about round-trip latency. No more, "Hey, can have a little more of this and a little less of that." I did a lot of research prior to getting the X32 Compact. Separate control over 16 channels (with three band EQ on each channel). It's super cool to be able to use the knobs to dial in your own monitor mix. I want to pickup a several P16-M units to use here in the studio and at gigs. The P16-D and P16-M absolutely work with the X32 Compact. Hi Rob, The X32 Compact *is* identical to the X32 except it has 16 mic preamps (instead of 32) and it has 8 XLR outputs instead of 16. well, I definitely hadn't heard about that. The downside to the Lynx AES-16e-50 is that it's $900.ĭo I get that right? X32 + CAT5 cable + Lynx AES-16e-50 gives you 32 channel recording at 3ms latency? Or 0.8ms (X32) + 3 ms (Lync). Round-trip latency with the Lynx can be set ~3ms (no dropped samples). A single CAT5e cable connects to the AES-16e-50. The solution for me was to get the Lynx AES-16e-50 (which has an AES-50 port). While 10ms is fine for straight up recording, I wanted the ability to effectively play/monitor in realtime thru software based EFX/processing. I'm used to total round-trip latency of ~5ms with both RME and MOTU audio interfaces. but it's not rock-solid till you reach the 8-10ms range. Note that you can set the total round-trip latency significantly lower than 10ms. The driver is extremely flexible in that you can adjust both the ASIO buffer size and the Safety buffer (Streaming buffer). Total round-trip latency has to be set ~10ms to avoid dropped samples. Nice piece of gear (far better than the name might suggest) Do you know by any chance if the X32 compact will work with the monitoring system (P16-D and P-16M)? Jim Roseberry The included X-UF or X-USB audio interfaces are ok. Jim Roseberry I just recently added a X32 Compact to my studio. If you're in the market for a digital mixer (or a more elaborate audio interface), I'd give it a serious look. The X32 offers a lot of features for buck. For most real-world scenarios, this isn't a major factor. The only downside to the X32 is that you're limited to 44.1/48k. I haven't delved into that particular feature (yet). The X32 can also be used as a Mackie Control (control surface for your DAW applications). If it offers low round-trip latency, it'll be a more affordable solution ($400). The DANTE interface card (installs in place of the X-UF or X-USB) is supposed to be hitting the streets any time. The downside to the Lynx AES-16e-50 is that it's $900. The included X-UF or X-USB audio interfaces are ok. The iPAD and Software control apps haven't been released for the 2.0x firmware (we've been waiting for that for a couple weeks). End-to-end latency is 0.8ms (with no additional insert EFX). They won't impart a lot of character, but they're quiet and sound huge. That's pretty decent (better than all but the most expensive audio interfaces or outboard A/D) The Midas Designed preamps are surprisingly *FAT* sounding. I've measured the average noise-floor at -114dB. Given the cost difference, that's not surprising. IMO, The reverb and EFX are better than the Mackie units. with iPAD control over the mix (and or monitors). Nice piece of gear (far better than the name might suggest) Our sound guy uses a full X32 live. Hi Rob, I just recently added a X32 Compact to my studio. and would it be worth to drag into the studio as well ? I might be able to get a hand on one for mostly mixing live situations (so how well does it work there?). What's you totally biased opinion? Pls share. FreeFlyBertl So: Anybody seriously used the Behringer X32 digital mixer lately(with v2 firmware).
