Owner’s Manual
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.
CR Outputs. 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 32/24/16 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 digital returns cannot be patched to the direct outputs.
DB25 pin-outs:
