Getting Started
The PreSonus NSB-series stage boxes make it easy to get audio to and from the stage using an AVB net-
work. With AVB networking, input and output signals flow through one lightweight CAT5e or CAT6 Eth-
ernet cable. In addition, NSB-series' inputs, preamps, and phantom power can be remotely controlled
from your networked StudioLive Series III console or from any device running PreSonus UC Surface
touch-control software.
Before you begin, here are a few rules to get you started:
If your mixer or your NSB-series stage box is not properly gain staged, none of your mixes will sound
l
their best.
Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch the level meters; when the signal nears clipping, the top LED
l
will illuminate, indicating that the digital-to-analog converters are in danger of being overdriven.
The following tutorials have been created for two common applications, but can be altered accordingly
for your personal needs. More complex use case examples can be found in the PreSonus AVB Net-
working Guide.
2.1
Direct connect with a StudioLive Series III mixer
With the exception of the StudioLive 64S and StudioLive 16R, every StudioLive Series III mixer is a 32-
channel mixer with 16 FlexMixes regardless of its complement of onboard I/O. In this example, we will
be looking at using on NSB 16.8 to expand the I/O capability of the StudioLive 32SC console mixer, so
that it has 32 inputs and 16 outputs. This process is identical if using the NSB 32.16 or NSB 16.8.
Connect your NSB 16.8 to your StudioLive 32SC as shown below and power on your equipment:
