Or you could do the inverse: create a subgroup with Sends On Fader and send any combination of inputs to any output and set the faders for that subgroup only, which the X32 will remember for later on if you switch back to that bus. That makes FOH (Front Of House) adjustments fast and accessible. With DCA you can easily control an entire group of inputs with one fader and there’s no need to mix them into a subgroup bus ahead of time. More advanced features for the X32 include the Digitally Controlled Amplifier or DCA system. The digital interface is intuitive and responsive. The display is large, 7 inches across, and you can view it indoors or outdoors, day or night, in any weather. You can make small notes on color-codable scribble strips that you can update on the fly. At the top is a channel strip with common controls to every channel so you can quickly make adjustments and you’ll know that the key controls will be in the same place every time.

The design and interface is extremely good and is one of the best parts of this mixer. You can pre-set up to 100 scenes that can each contain unique positioning for every fader. The basics are a set of 40 inputs, 25 buses and 25 motorized faders, 32 programmable preamps with corresponding channels, and an iOS app for remote control.
