Common fan-outs are DB25 to (8) XLRM and DB25 to (8) TRS. These outputs are
post-gain, pre-insert, and pre-A/D converter. Only the microphone preamps and
line-level inputs are available through the direct outputs. The FireWire returns
cannot be patched to the direct outputs. (See Section 6.4.2 for more information.)

FireWire Ports. There are two standard 6-pin FireWire 400 ports on the back of the
StudioLive. Either port can be used to connect your StudioLive to a FireWire port
on your computer. If your computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on
laptops), you will need to purchase a 4-to-6-pin adaptor or cable. These adaptors
and cables can be found at your local computer supply store. Use the second
FireWire port to connect additional FireWire devices (such as external hard drives)
to your computer or to daisy-chain an additional StudioLive mixer. You can connect
two StudioLive 24.4.2 mixers to create a standalone, large-format mixing console.
