On switch for the back of desk.
GPO and On switches for amps.
To turn off just do this in the reverse order.

Or if you want to do the work:
Click on the cog at the bottom right.
Click on Audio.
Audio Patch 2 → X-USB.
House Mic:
This mic also leads to the back-stage speaker.
CH1-16 → CH01 (House Mic) →Unmute → Set fader to what you want.
MATRIX 1-6, MAIN C → M/C → Unmute → Set fader to 0db.
Controlling the House Mic with QLab:

Click on OSC.

(There is a PDF on the computer about controlling the X32 via OSC commands)
Main Left and Right Speakers:
AUX IN/USB, FX RETURNS → Aux 1 and Aux 2→ Unmute → Set faders to 0db.
Bring up Main fader to 0db.
You can control the levels in QLab faders 1 and 2.
Back Left and Right Speakers:
In QLab: Device and levels → Cross Points → 3,1 = 0, 4,2 = 0 (these are the faders that control the back speakers).

BUS 1-8 → Bus 1 → Unmute → Set fader to 0db.
MATRIX 1-6, MAIN C → Mtx 1 → Unmute → Set fader to 0db (this fader works independently to the Main fader and is unaffected by it).
