10 X-USB Interface Operation Guide

1. X-USB Interface Operation Guide

1.1 Host system requirements for X-USB

interface expansion card

Check the BEHRINGER website at behringer.com for updates

of X-USB rmware or system requirements. Please nd the

recommended hardware/software minimum congurations in the

specications section.

1.2 The BEHRINGER X-USB

High-Performance 32-Channel

24-Bit USB Audio Interface

The X-USB option card gives 32 channel, bi-directional audio

I/O via USB 2.0 serial bus for Mac computers or Windows-

based applications. The simultaneous 32-in, 32-out audio

channels enable for extremely powerful studio and live

applications. You can run virtual live sound checks or 32-track

high-quality studio recordings, whileat the same time remote

operating your DAW via HUI/Mackie Control emulation. The high

speed 24-bit signal transmission and ultra-low latency ASIO

drivers and CoreAudio compatibility even allow inserting audio

plugins on your PC to perform advanced outboard processing.

1.3 Conguring the X-USB option card for

use in the console

The console will automatically detect the X-USB option card

during the regular boot cycle, and it will display the card’s

presence in several instances.

The green square in front of “C: X-USB” indicates that the card is

installed and working properly.

2. Installing a BEHRINGER

InterfaceCard

Before you install an I/O card to the expansion slot of the console,

you must check the BEHRINGER website to verify whether the

console supports that card. behringer.com

CAUTION: Before installing optional I/O cards into the console,

you must make sure that the console’s power switch is turned o.

Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.

To install an interface I/O card:

1. Make sure that the mixer’s power is turned o.

2. Loosen the screws that fasten the slot, then remove the slot

cover and keep it in a safe place.

3. Before removing the X-USB card from its protective bag,

it is recommended to touch the grounded metal chassis of

the console to prevent electrostatic discharges aecting the

sensitive electronic components. It is generally a good idea

to hold the card either by the face plate or by the two small

handles, but never touching the components on the circuit

board directly.

4. Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the

slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. Push the card

all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts of the

card are correctly inserted into the connector inside.

5. Fasten the card using the included screws. Be aware that

damage or malfunctions may occur if the card is

not fastened.

3. Conguring the PC to Interface

with the X-USB Option Card

Please watch behringer.com for further advice on the software

conguration of X-USB interface card.

Windows: There is an ASIO high-performance

driver available for download,

which is essential for low-latency audio

on Windows-based applications.

Mac OS: The X-USB is CoreAudio compatible

and thus works with low-latency on

Mac computers without any additional

driverinstallation.

ASIO Driver for Windows-based Applications

Download the X32 ASIO driver installer les from behringer.com.

Double-click on Setup.exe in the corresponding unpacked folder and

follow the instructions on the screen.

Driver Control Panels

Once the driver is installed, you can open the control panel by

double-clicking on the small tray icon. These screens will allow

conguring the X-USB expansion card in the X32 as an audio

interface for your computer.

Download the X32 full manual from behringer.com and
