1. Main. The StudioLive ARc-series mixers feature with XLR main outputs.
2. Control Room. These are the balanced control-room outputs.
The Control Room knob on the top panel controls the level.
3. Phones. This ¼-inch TRS connection is for use with headphones.
The Phones knob on the top panel controls the level.
4. Footswitch. This connection allows you to use an external
footswitch (not included) to mute the effects return.
Power User Tip:
Your StudioLive will follow the behavior of the type of footswitch
you use. A latching footswitch allows you to mute the effects return until you
engage the footswitch a second time. A momentary footswitch will allow
you to mute the effects return only while the footswitch is depressed.
5. Aux. The StudioLive ARc-series mixers are equipped with 2/2/1 aux
mix outputs. Aux mixes are routed to these outputs.
See Section 3.4
for more information on creating Aux mixes for monitoring.
6. FX. The FX send mix is routed to this output, allowing you to create
an additional monitor mix. When this output is engaged, the internal
effects processor is bypassed. More information about creating effects
mixes and the effects processor can be found in
Section 3.5
