Connecting speakers

Connect powered speakers to the two rear panel XLR sockets MIX OUTPUT L & R using suitable 

cables. All the main outputs on digiLiVE are at standard line level and are electronically balanced. 

If you’re using passive speakers with one or more separate amplifiers, connect digiLiVE’s outputs 

to the amplifier inputs.

  

NOTE: It is always good practice to turn on interconnected audio devices in sequence. In this case, 

turn digiLiVE on first, then turn on your powered speakers or power amplifier(s). When powering 

down, turn the speakers or amplifier off first, then turn digiLiVE off. Observing this sequence will 

avoid nasty loud bangs or thumps from the speakers.
