Insert. Each channel of the StudioLive has a direct-insert point. These unbalanced,
1/4-inch connectors can be used to connect external processors (such as
compressors, EQs, de-essers, and filters) to your StudioLive's preamps and line
inputs. The insert's send is after the channel's gain control but before the digital
bus. The return goes straight to the digital bus. So if you insert a de-esser on your
vocalist's channel, you will be sending an unprocessed, amplified signal to the
de-esser; the processed signal returned to the StudioLive will then be routed to the
digital bus, where it can be sent through the Fat Channel, Aux and FX buses, etc.

Aux Inputs. The StudioLive offers two auxiliary inputs, which are generally used as
effects returns. In Section 8.5.2, we discuss using an aux bus to send several
channels to an external effects processor; the aux inputs can be used to return the
processed signal to the mixer. Each input is balanced stereo. The left input is
normalled to the right input, so if you are returning a mono signal to the mix,
connect it to the left input, and the signal will be routed to both sides of the mix.
Subgroup Outputs. These are balanced mono outputs for each subgroup.
Talkback Mic Input. The StudioLive does not have an onboard talkback mic; an
external mic must be used. Phantom power is always enabled on this microphone
preamp, so either a dynamic or a condenser microphone can be used. This is the
same high-quality XMAX preamp that is featured on Channels 1 through 24, and
the talkback can be used as an extra input when using the StudioLive as an audio
interface. See Section 6.4.2 for details.

Aux Outputs. The StudioLive is equipped with six
auxiliary outputs. In Section 8.5, we discuss in detail
how to create aux mixes for monitoring and effects
processing. Aux mixes are routed to these outputs.
