Owner’s Manual
Talkback Mic Input. The StudioLive does not have an onboard talkback mic; an
external mic must be used. Phantom power is always enabled on this microphone
preamp, so either a dynamic or a condenser microphone can be used. However, we
recommend reviewing the documentation that came with your dynamic
microphone to verify that phantom power will not harm it.
Power User Tip: The Talkback microphone preamp is the same high-
quality XMAX preamp that is featured on StudioLive channel mic inputs.
The Talkback input can also be selected as a recording input. See Section
2.5.2 in the StudioLive Software Library Manual for details.
Talkback Mic Level. This is the trim control for your talkback
microphone. It adjusts the gain of the talkback input.
Mono Output. This balanced output carries a mono, summed version of the stereo
signal from the Main bus.
Mono Output Level. This knob controls the maximum level of the Mono Output
signal. The signal can be attenuated to -80 dB and boosted up to +6 dB.
Main Output. The StudioLive features both XLR
and TRS main outputs. These outputs are parallel
to each other and to the mono output.
Main Output Level. This knob controls the maximum
output level of the XLR and TRS main outputs. The signal
can be attenuated to -40 dB and boosted up to 0 dB.
Power User Tip: All main outputs (XLR Stereo, TRS Stereo,
and XLR Mono) of the StudioLive are active all of the time.
Therefore, you can send your main mix to five speakers at the same time.
This can be especially useful when you need to send a mix to another room
or add another set of speakers to accommodate a larger venue.
Tape In/Out. The StudioLive is equipped with stereo RCA inputs and outputs that
can be used to connect a tape deck, CD player, or other consumer device. The
tape-input level is controlled by the 2 Track In knob on the top panel. The Main bus is
routed post-fader to the tape output.
