Power User Tip: In applications where you are using multiple NSB-series stage boxes of
the same model, you can press the Identify button. This will flash Power / Network LED on
the top panel red and green on the currently selected NSB, allowing you to quickly locate
your selection.
The preamps on NSB-series stage boxes can be controlled from any StudioLive Series
i
III mixer on the network. When you have a stage box feeding more than one mixer, it
is recommended that you give only one mixer permission to adjust the NSB preamp
levels. In our example, we will be giving permission to the StudioLive 24 at Front-of-
House.
The NSB-series stage box is equipped with 8 outputs to feed floor monitors, mains,
or personal monitoring systems. In our example, we will be using these outputs
exclusively for floor monitors and since we have a StudioLive 24R dedicated as
a monitor mixer, we will be using its AVB Sends to feed the NSB 8.8 outputs.
Note: Because the AVB streams are routed must be routed in banks of 8, you can only
source these outputs from one mixer on the network.
Send and Return connections over the network to and from the NSB-series
stage box must be made from each mixer individually. For console mixers, this
routing can be made locally, using the LCD, or remotely from UC Surface. All
audio routing for rack mixers must be done remotely using UC Surface.
