out 1-16

The ROUTING screens out 1-16 tab allows the user to patch the M32's various internal signal paths to the 16 analogue
XLR outputs that are located on the console's rear panel.
The M32 allows for many different kinds of output signal paths, and this screen is where these outputs are assigned to a
physical rear panel output, so that the signal path can be patched to their eventual destination, such as front-of-house PA
speakers or a powered stage monitor.
To assign the various output paths to the rear panel XLR outputs, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the first rotary control to select to which of the 16 rear panel analogue outs you wish to assign an output
signal path.
2. Adjust the third control to select an output path category. These include:
• Off
62
• Main (LRC) Mix
• Mix Bus Outputs
• Matrix Outputs
• Direct Outs
• Monitor.
3. Adjust the fourth control to select a specific output path, including:
• Off
• Main L
• Main R
• Main C/M
• Any of the 16 Mix Outputs
• Any of the six Matrix Outputs
• Any of the 32 Direct Outputs
• Any of the eight Auxiliary Outputs
• Any of the FX Direct Outputs
• Monitor L
• Monitor R
• Talkback.
4. Tap the fourth control to assign the selected output path, completing the process.
5. Adjust the fifth control to select the signal tap point for the output assignment. This determines where in the
audio signal path the source is 'tapped' as it is sent to the physical rear panel output. The available signal tap points
include:
• Input
• Pre-EQ
• Pre-Fader
• Post-Fader.
6. Tap the fifth control to assign the selected signal tap point.
7. Turn the sixth control to adjust the amount of digital line delay applied to the output path as it is sent to the rear
panel physical output. As the amount of delay is adjusted, the current delay time is displayed in three different
units of measurement: feet, metres and milliseconds.
8. Tap the sixth control to toggle delay on/off. The Delay label illuminates when the delay is inserted into the signal
path.
TIP: Applying a delay to an output signal is typically done when the console is used in a 'multi-zone' PA speaker set-
up, where some PA speakers are located near the stage, and a second set of speakers is located further back within the
audience. By applying an appropriate amount of delay only to the speakers located near the stage, the audience hears the
audio from all speakers at the same time, ensuring maximum time-alignment and sound quality. The M32 assumes an
operating temperature of 20°C/68°F when calculating the delay times.
