X-LIVE
1. Introduction
The X-LIVE interface card expands on the already stellar performance of the X-USB card that has been standard in X32 consoles for years.
The same 32-channel bi-directional audio I/O via USB 2.0 is available, providing 32 channels for recording and playback, plus remote
operation of your DAW via HUI/MackieControl emulation. The addition of twin SD/SDHC slots now provides fully independent,
uncompressed recording/playback of up to 32-channels in consistent sessions up to the max capacity of the SD cards. Multi-channel
recording without the need for a laptop, as well as virtual sound checks and live backing track support, accurate marker handling and
adjustments, and full remote operation from apps or X-TOUCH control surfaces are only some of the new possibilities X-LIVE offers.
2. Installing the X-LIVE Card
Please make sure the X32 series mixer firmware is updated to the most recent release version. Check the product page on behringer.com
for the latest available firmware.
CAUTION: Before installing the interface card into the console, make sure that the console's power switch is turned off.
Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.
Installation process:
1. Make sure that the mixer's power is turned off.
2. Remove the outer screws that hold the current card or slot cover in place.
3. Gently slide the card out of the slot and set it somewhere safe along with the fastening screws.
4. Before removing the X-LIVE card from its protective bag, touch the metal chassis of the console to prevent electrostatic discharges
from affecting the sensitive electronic components. Hold the card by the face plate or the two small handles, avoiding contact with
the components on the circuit board.
5. Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. Push the card fully into the
slot so that it sits flush against the console's rear panel, ensuring that the contacts are properly connected internally. The screw holes
should be naturally aligned.
6. Fasten the card with the included screws, or with those that originally held the old card in place. Damage or malfunctions may occur if
the card is not fastened.
7. Place the old card into the protective bag that the X-LIVE card was packed in, and repackage for safe storage.

4. USB Operation
The USB connection on the X-LIVE card provides 32 channels of bi-direction audio I/O via USB 2.0, as well as MIDI I/O and remote DAW
control via HUI/MackieControl emulation. Make sure to download and install the free ASIO driver from behringer.com if you are using a
Windows PC. The X-LIVE is CoreAudio compliant and therefore does not need a driver for use on Mac computers.
4.1 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 configuring
the X-LIVE card in the X32 as an audio interface for your computer.
Info – displays the driver version number and device IDs.
Buffer Settings – allows the stream and ASIO sound buffers to be set. Use small buffers for short latency when monitoring
through the PC. Use large buffers and longer latency for preventing audio glitches on old, low-performance PCs.
