Did I see this correctly that you cabled it right through with a Y-splitter? How do you manage phantom power, for example for drum OH, with that? wouldn't that damage the X32 if FOH turns it on?
I'm curious about this too. It seems that y splits without isolation transformers are a lot more common in IEM rack builds now days. Are most modern mixers able to handle pantom power coming off of the FOH board? I have a MIDAS MR18 that I am wiring similar to this board, but I fear damage from FOH +48V phantom. My pannels are wired up exactly like in this build. Haven't finished racking it all up. I fear damaging my rig.
Been in love with the work being done, but I noticed there's no power conditioners being used in these rigs, and this may be a novice question, but how/what do you do in order to get everything power by the single AC IN jack without power distribution, or is it just well hidden to where I can't see it?
Thank you! There is no power conditioner as that would take away the ability for universal power. This rack can be powered around the globe without the need for any sort of step up/step down converter based on where you are. Only 3 of these items need AC power (the IEMs power from the combiner). All 3 power cables terminate to the single powerCON input.
@@Bobby_Uterus Easy. The mixer and that power brick are what they are sending AC to via the Blue powercon. They are paralleling DC off the power brick for the router and the IEM combiner. You can see the right angle barrel jacks in the video. The IEM combiner then send DC on to the 4 IEM units. The mixer and power brick have IEC connectors so they can run off 120-240 AC. Just check the specs to make sure. I bet the mixer has a switch for the 120/240. They do not have a power brick or wall wort delivering power to them aka DC like some rack mount gear. That makes it so they can run all over the world.
Nope! We do all of our solder work in house. These are Neutrik XLR panel connectors that have our rubber dust covers on the back for protection. The panels are ours as well.

@@BTPA_USA Damn, that's very slick! I think it's a little too advanced for me because of phantom power / transformer isolated feed / ground lift / etc... You guys are magicians!
@@BTPA_USA I can see that. But for the average person its quicker and easier to buy one premade. I picked up one from seismic audio. Has worked perfectly for years and i left my soldering iron in its case

Amazing. I cannot wait to get back to work and have you guys build some rigs for me!
Love to hear it!!
Looks great!
Thanks! 🎉🎉

How is that possible? How are you able to power this unit anywhere in the world without using any kind of power converter?

Incredible build... Where do you source the XLR splitter connectors at 1:30? I can't find it anywhere online. Is it custom made?

You guys are magicians!
what type of cable are you using for the XLR runs?
Subunits from different snake cables
Hello, do you now how many Stereo-Mixes the Mixer can give?
The DL32 has 16 outputs
Custom stuff is cool but just get a rackmount splitter snake and save a lot of time and money. Wow
We make rack mounted splitter snakes all of the time. There is one on this rack, made by us.

@@daveg4236 nice, well in our experience they don’t hold up very well at all on tour.
@@BTPA_USA luckily for us it's used every so often at gigs and weekly in rehersal so no abuse a tour would give
@@daveg4236 Nice!
