CR Output. These are the balanced control-room outputs. The level is controlled by
the Monitor knob in the Monitor section on the top panel.
Pre-Insert Balanced
Direct Outputs. These
are the balanced, direct
analog outputs for the
24/16 channels. The DB25
connectors divide the channels into groups of eight. Balanced DB25 fan-out
snakes can be obtained in various configurations at most recording and live-
sound retailers. Common fan-outs are DB25 to (8) XLRM and DB25 to (8) TRS.
These outputs are post-gain, pre-insert, and pre-A/D converter. Only the microphone
preamps and line-level inputs are available through the direct outputs. The FireWire
returns cannot be patched to the direct outputs.
DB25 pin-outs: H = Hot C = Cold G = Ground
FireWire Ports. There are two standard 6-pin FireWire 400 ports on the back of the
StudioLive. Either port can be used to connect the StudioLive to a FireWire port on
your computer. If your computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on
laptops), you will need to purchase a 4-to-6-pin adaptor or cable. These adaptors and
cables can be found at your local computer supply store. Use the second FireWire
port to connect additional FireWire devices (such as external hard drives) to your
computer or to daisy-chain an additional StudioLive mixer. You can connect two
StudioLive 16.4.2 mixers to create a 32-channel mixing console with recording or two
StudioLive 24.4.2/three StudioLive 16.4.2 mixers to create a standalone, 48-channel
mixing console without computer connectivity.
Please Note: Connecting FireWire 800 devices to the secondary FireWire
connection is not supported. While connecting your StudioLive to your
computer’s FireWire 800 connection using a 6-pin to 9-pin cable is
supported, your StudioLive will operate at FireWire 400 bus speed.
