NSB-series Stage Box UC Surface Setup
As previously mentioned, NSB-series stage boxes can be configured and
routed from the touchscreen on the StudioLive Series III console mixers.
This can also be done from UC Surface for all StudioLive Series III mixers.
4.3.1
Step 1: Connect Your Stage Box to Your Mixer
1. Launch UC Surface and connect to your StudioLive Series III mixer.
2. Click or Tap on the Settings Gear.
3. Click or Tap on the Network tab.
4. In the Stagebox Setup area, select the NSB-series stage box from the list.
Power User Tip:
In applications where you are using multiple NSB-series stage boxes
of the same model, you can press the Identify button. This will flash the Power
Network LED on the front of the selected NSB stage box from green to red, allowing
you to quickly locate your selection.
5. Select the mixer you’d like to use to control the preamps on your NSB stage box.
By default, this is set to “All,” enabling any StudioLive Series III mixer on the AVB
network to control the preamps on your stage box.
Power User Tip:
Because your NSB stage box inputs are most likely routed to
multiple sources on your network, PreSonus highly recommends designating one
mixer to control the NSB preamps.
For more information on preamp permissions
and gain compensation, please review the NSB-series Owners Manual.
6. Select the AVB Output Sends from the mixer that you’d like returned to the
physical outputs on your NSB stage box. Because the AVB streams are routed in
banks of 8, you can only source these outputs from one mixer on the network.
Note: As previously mentioned, this is also the clocksource for your NSB-series stage
box. You must assign an output stream from your mixer to your NSB-series stage box
so that it is clocked properly over the network. If you do not assign an output stream
from your mixer, your networked stage box will not be properly synced and you will
hear audio artifacts.
7. Press the Apply button when finished.
