The StudioLive features a headphone output and control-room outputs, giving you
the ability to monitor multiple sources on the StudioLive. The Monitor bus on the

return from your computer. Because the Monitor bus is a summing amp, you can
even monitor the World Series on your headphones while running sound at a show.
