Analog Outputs

Talkback Mic Input. StudioLive mixers do not have a built-in talkback microphone,
rather they are equipped with an additional XMAX mic preamp to connect an
external microphone for talkback use.
Note: Phantom power is always enabled on the Talkback Mic input. If using a dynamic
mic, we recommend checking its documentation to verify that phantom power will not
harm it.
Power User Tip: The Talkback Mic input uses the same high-quality XMAX mic preamp
employed by the other input channels, and can be enabled as a recording input or as an
additional input channel in any mix.
Tape In/Out. These RCA input and output jacks can be used to connect a music
player (MP3, CD, tape) or other consumer device to your system. The Tape inputs are
an available input source within the mixer, while the Tape outputs mirror the output
of the Main output pair.
Sub Outputs (StudioLive 32S, StudioLive 32SX, and StudioLive 32
only). These are balanced mono outputs, one for each subgroup.
Power User Tip: While other StudioLive Series III models do not provide
dedicated subgroups outputs, every 32-channel StudioLive Series III is
equipped with four dedicated subgroups in addition to the FlexMixes. These
subgroups can be routed to any FlexMix output, USB send, or routed to other
hardware, like an NSB-series stagebox, over an AVB network. The StudioLive
64S is equipped with 32 FlexMixes, any or all of which can be configured as a
subgroup.
More information about Subgroups can be found in Section 5.3.1.
Mix Outputs. Local analog outputs are provided for the FlexMixes on your
StudioLive Series III mixer. While any FlexMix can be routed to any output, by default,
these mixes are routed in order (i.e. FlexMix 1 to Mix Out 1, FlexMix 2 to Mix Out 2,
etc.)
More information about configuring FlexMixes can be found in Section 5.1.
More information about routing to Mix Outputs can be found in Section 12.3.2.
Main Left / Right Outputs. The StudioLive features stereo main outputs
on XLR connections.
Main Mono Output. A mono output is also provided for the Main Output bus. The
function of this output is model dependent:
• StudioLive 64S. The Mono Output on the StudioLive 64S is equipped with its
own mono bus. This bus can be configured as a mono mix or a center channel
and provides level control for all input independently of the Main Mix bus. When
configured as a Center channel, each channel has a unique center divergence
control. For more information on the StudioLive 64S Mono Bus, please see Section
5.6.
• All other models. For all other StudioLive Series III models, the Mono output is an
analog sum of the Main stereo mix.
