This #TechTuesday episode explains how to connect two Behringer X32 digital mixing consoles using S16 digital snakes for digital routing. The video focuses on understanding signal flow as a conceptual model and then demonstrates the practical configuration on the consoles.
The transcript provides a high-level overview, not a step-by-step guide with specific cable types and connection details. To get detailed connection steps, you would need to consult the Behringer X32 and S16 manuals or find a more detailed tutorial video. The transcript does, however, offer these relevant points:
In short: The transcript describes the what and why of the connection, but not the detailed how. You'll need to consult other resources for precise step-by-step instructions and cable specifications.
The transcript explains that only one console can be the clock master, with the others acting as slaves. To configure this:
Select Master Console: The video chooses the main front-of-house X32 console as the master clock source.
Front-of-House Console Settings: On the front-of-house X32, navigate to the "Setup" tab, then the "Global" tab. Within the global settings, locate the "Clock Source" option and set it to "Internal." This designates the console as the master clock. The specific menu paths are not explicitly detailed in the transcript.
S16 Console Settings: On each S16, you need to change the clock source setting so it receives its clock information from the master console. The exact menu location and options aren't in the transcript, but the speaker mentions it involves going into "setup" and "global" and selecting a slave option from the available choices. This ensures that both S16 units are synchronized with the master clock from the main X32.
The exact menu paths and options within the X32 and S16 interfaces are not detailed in the transcript. Refer to your Behringer X32 and S16 manuals for precise instructions.
