Gone are the days of looking at a channel strip starting at the input trim pot, tone controls, aux sends, pan left/right, mute button, solo button channel fader then on to the output section all in one quick glance. – but don’t let this scare you: you don’t have to go to an electronics school for two years before you begin using this board. I had fun teaching the tech team about the physics of sound waves and frequencies, decibels, watts, etc. For example, the engineer can see the entire audio frequency spectrum and what frequencies he or she is cutting or boosting and by how many dB, and how the parametric curves can be moved up or down or widened or narrowed. What really impresses me the most about the X32 is that it forces people to think like an audio engineer and see the things that an audio engineer would want to see. I am proud to say everything went perfect our first two weeks, and the third week, when I was away on a field assignment with a touring show, was also problem free. I ran two 2-hour sessions with the team before turning them loose on the new X32.

Once we received the board, I did not turn it on until I went through the entire manual – the pressure was on me to teach this to the tech team and make sure it would be an easy transition with no glitches during our first church service. This was not my first time at purchasing or using a digital board, so that helped me in eliminating that pain for newbies, who often find it tough to wrap their brain around scenes, menus and layers. I had done the usual search of looking at specs and pictures of audio consoles at music stores and online information, and eventually settled on the Behringer X32. If a Church jumps from an older analog board into a new digital board, the learning curve can be tough for some people to make friends with in time for the next Sunday morning service.
I had read previous articles in Technologies for Worship Magazine about being very careful in selecting a new church audio board, especially a small Church with a small volunteer staff that is not familiar with today’s digital technology.
