  • Page 13 Application Example 1. Making a mix The factory default settings of digiLiVE let you mix directly to the stereo output, so it is only necessary to adjust the GAIN controls for each input in use and open the input and MIX OUTPUT faders.
  • Page 14 Application Example 3 – adding a monitor mix A small band may require one or more monitor mixes in order that band members can hear themselves and other players as they wish. digiLiVE lets you create up to six additional mono monitor mixes.
  • Page 15 Making a monitor mix The main PA speakers use digiLiVE’s L & R mix busses, which with the console’s default routing, are connected directly to the MIX OUTPUTS. To create a separate monitor mix, one of digiLiVE’s further eight mix busses is also used.
