Pre-Insert Balanced Direct Outputs. These are the
balanced, direct analog outputs for the 24 channels.
The DB25 connectors divide the channels into three
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. (See Section 6.4.2 for more information.)

FireWire Ports. There are two standard 6-pin FireWire 400 ports on the back of the
StudioLive. Either port can be used to connect your 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 24.4.2 mixers to create a standalone, large-format mixing console without
recording capability.
