Cascading Two StudioLive 24.4.2s

8.9.1

Configuring Multiple Units

NOTE: Once a StudioLive 24.4.2's Link ID has been changed from 0 to any other number, it
will not connect to a computer. This disables its ability to communicate with the driver, even if
it is no longer linked to another mixer. Because of this, it is highly recommended that you do
not change the Link ID on your mixer unless you plan on using exclusively without a computer.

Aux Mixing with Cascaded Mixers

Your StudioLive 24.4.2 can be cascaded with another StudioLive 24.4.2, using a
FireWire cable, to create a single 48-channel console. Because of the limitations of
FireWire, you cannot connect a computer to your cascaded StudioLives; however,
you can cascade one of several FireStudio family interfaces with a single StudioLive
24.4.2 to add more recording inputs. This tutorial will guide you through the syncing
process and explain how two StudioLive 24.4.2 function as one 48-channel mixer.

Every channel in the mixer chain can be sent to the ten aux outputs on the Master
unit. When you press the Mix button on any of the ten auxes on either mixer, you
will notice that the Mix button for the corresponding aux will illuminate on the
other mixer in the chain. For example, if you press the Mix button on Aux 1 on the
Master unit, the Mix button on Aux 1 on the slaved units will also illuminate.
Creating an aux mix with multiple mixers works exactly the same
way as with one mixer. Each of the encoder beneath the meters in
the Fat Channel control the amount of send level for each of their
corresponding channels on that mixer to the enabled aux.
For example, Channels 1 through 24 reside on the Slave, and Channels 25 through
48 will reside the Master unit. Let's say that you want to create an aux mix on Aux

the FireWIre Link ID field. Use the value encoder to set
the ID to 1. Either unit in the chain can be designated as
the Master. Since both units will function as one large
console, sending all channels to the Master unit's Main
output, Aux Sends, and Subgroups (optional), we
suggest that the unit farthest on the right be
designated as the Master. The unit with the lowest
FireWIre Link ID greater than zero is automatically set as
the Master.

Any value larger than that of the Master can be used for
