36 xp comes in three predetermined frame layouts: 16, 32 or 48-fader.
All variants include a central bay with 16 faders. To make the 32-fader and 48-fader variants, a channel bay is
added to the left of the central bay. This adds 510 mm to the width of the console. In the 48-fader variant, the
channel bay is fitted with the dual-fader option.
16-fader frame
32/48-fader frame
Every frame includes integrated local I/O and dual redundant power supplies. The frame can be ordered in one of
two versions: either Studio or OB-van. The version affects the width of the side panels and whether the frame is
prepared for table-top or crossbar mounting.
To provide cooling at extreme temperatures, the frame is fitted with slow turning, low noise fans. The fans are
temperature controlled and so, under normal operating conditions, they are inactive.
