4. To lock your StudioLive, press the System button in the Digital Effects | Master
Control section.
5. Navigate to the Lockout menu. Your StudioLive cannot be
locked unless this page is active. (StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2
users: If you have two StudioLive mixers linked, you only
need to lock the Master unit to lock both mixers in the chain.)
6. To lock your StudioLive, press the Select buttons that correspond to the 5-digit
password you have set. In this example, the password is 12345, so you would press
the Select buttons for Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, in that order. The Panel Status will
switch to Locked, indicating that Lockout mode is active.
7. To unlock your StudioLive, navigate back to the Lockout page in the System menu
on your mixer, if this page is not currently active. Press the same sequence of Select
buttons. The Panel Status will change to Unlocked, and you will be able to resume
your mix.
Power User Tip: At its lowest level of security, Lockout mode allows you to freeze the
current Fat Channel and effects settings. Faders, aux mixing, master section functions like
Talkback and Monitoring, and Scene recall are still functional. Each of these mix functions
can be added to Lockout mode.
3.8 Smaart System Check Wizards (StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 only)
VSL also includes three System Check Wizards to provide you with the
ability to view the frequency response of the venue; quickly calculate
and set delay system timing; and verify output connectivity.
Traditionally, in professional sound reinforcement, the mixing console is there to
mix, and the system processor is there to align and tune the speaker system. When
functioning and set correctly, the system processor is invisible to everyone but
the System Engineer. For the first time, the tools used to tune and align speaker
systems are built into the mixing console itself and accessible to any engineer
who wants to improve their PA’s sound and get the most out of their PA system
For all but the most seasoned professional sound technician, this is a new extra
step in the process of setting up for a show. For most FOH engineers, getting a
good mix is a big victory. But imagine being able to recreate that same killer mix
night after night, show after show. Once the system has also been optimized for the
environment it is in, any FOH engineer working on it will achieve that big victory
without so much work. This is why System Alignment is a standard procedure
in professional level sound reinforcement. Again, this solution is not typically
achieved from the mixing console, but built into the system design itself. Universal
Control 1.7 merges these two worlds into the StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2.
