• Insert connector wiring:
• Tip = send (output to inserted device)
• Ring = return (input from inserted device)
• Sleeve = common ground
• Aux Inputs. The StudioLive is equipped with two auxiliary inputs (effects returns). In Section
5.5.2, we discuss using an aux bus to send several channels to an external effects processor;
the Aux inputs can be used to return the processed signal to the mixer. Each input is balanced
stereo. The Left input is normalled to the right. If you are returning a mono signal to the mix,
simply connect it to the Left input; the signal will be routed to both sides of the stereo mix.
• Subgroup Outputs. These are balanced mono outputs for each subgroup.
• Aux Outputs. The StudioLive is equipped with six auxiliary outputs. In Section 5.5, we dis-
cuss in detail how to create aux mixes for monitoring and effects processing. Aux mixes are
routed to these outputs.
• Talkback Mic Input. The StudioLive does not have an onboard talkback mic; an external
mic must be used. Phantom power is always enabled on this microphone preamp, so either
a dynamic or a condenser microphone can be used. This is the same high-quality XMAX
preamp that is featured on Channels 1-16 and can be used as an extra input when using the
StudioLive as an audio interface. See Section 3.3.1 for more details.
• Talkback Mic Level. This is the gain control for your talkback microphone.
• Mono Output. This balanced output carries a mono, summed version of the stereo signal
from the main bus.
