Use the 4th Rotary Knob to select ‘MixBus 01’ and depress knob to confirm.In my case we are going to use ‘Output 01’ Use the 1st Rotary Knob to select the XLR output you would like to use for this monitor.Take note that our output tap and channel sends preconfiguration are different! We will want to pick a ‘Post Fader’ output tap so that we can still have volume control over the monitor level. Next, we will take the MixBus 01 and feed that into an output for that monitor. NOTE: This will take the ‘odd & even’ pair of mixbusses and change the channel sends preconfiguration on both mixbusses even if they are not linked. Use the 3rd Rotary knob to select ‘Pre Fader’ and depress knob to confirm.Press the ‘VIEW’ button in the ‘Config/Preamp’ section.With this example, you would want to have a MixBus with a channel sends preconfiguration. How would one best set up a feed for a floor monitor? Most of you are going to be running monitors from your front of house desk that is ALSO feeding your Main PA. And you had that direct output tap set to pre fader, if there was feedback and you muted it on the board, it would still be feeding into that direct out. So if you were feeding the direct out of a Pastor Microphone channel. Where this affects is the direct out of a channel. So, Behringer & Midas decided to add the +M to allow any of these taps to be muted. “IN/LC, PreEQ, PostEQ, and PreFdr” are taps that are not affected by the mute button due to those being placed before the fader in the signal flow. While the mix bus itself will typically be a Pre Fader configuration for the channel sends, the output tap on the routing screen will be Post-Fader so that if we need to turn the monitor down, you can do so using the mix bus main fader. A perfect example is a Mixbus that is being used to feed a floor monitor. You will often times have two different settings between these.

Pro-Tip: Don’t get the Channel Sends Preconfiguration of a Mixbus and the Output Tap of a physical output confused. Post Fader – This tap is affected by everything on the channel including fader movements, mute buttons, DCA levels, Gate, Dynamics EQ and insert.If the Insert is set to POST, this tap will pull before the insert is applied to the channel. You may also notice that if you have Dynamics set to PRE that the PostEQ signal tap and the PreFdr signal tap are the same things. One thing to note, if you have Dynamics set to POST, this tap will pull audio off of the channel after the Dynamics. Any channel fader movements will NOT affect the signal coming out of the output taps up to this point. PreFdr – This tap is before the channel fader.When the Dynamics is set to ‘POST’ then the ‘Post EQ signal tap’ is before the Dynamics section. The Dynamics is configurable to be pre or post EQ when it is set to ‘PRE’, the ‘Post EQ signal tap’ will include the dynamics as seen in the graphic below. (This would be beneficial if an inserted effect was desired, but not the EQ). There is also a configurable option to have the Insert before this tap, so you can have the Insert set to ‘PRE’ and have this tap pull the audio off of the channel after the insert. PreEQ – This tap is before the EQ but after the Gate.Being before any of the EQ and dynamics, this would be the cleanest unprocessed audio from each channel available. IN/LC – This tap is directly after the Input, Preamp Gain and Low Cut.In X32-Edit v3+ you will see them listed like this: On the mixer and in version 2 of X-32 Edit you will see them listed like this: Much like the Mixbus sends configuration, with the output tap, we have a few different options, and here they are below: Today, I wanted to dive into this and really help give a clear picture of how we can use this to our advantage. Depending on how you have the channel set up, the output tap can be a burden or an aid to your outputs. Something that I always get questions on is the ‘Output Tap’ function on the routing screen on the Behringer X32 and Midas M32.
