Insert. Each channel of the StudioLive has a direct-insert point. These
unbalanced, 1/4-inch connectors can be used to connect external processors
(such as compressors, EQs, de-essers, and filters) to your StudioLive's
preamps and line inputs. The insert's send is after the channel's gain control
but before the digital bus. The return goes straight to the digital bus. In
other words, if you insert a de-esser on your vocalist's channel, you will be
sending an unprocessed, amplified signal to the de-esser; the processed
signal returned to the StudioLive will then be routed to the digital bus,
where it can be sent through the Fat Channel, Aux and FX buses, etc.

Aux Inputs. The StudioLive is equipped with two auxiliary inputs, which
are generally used as effects returns. In Section 8.5.2, we discuss using an
aux bus to send several channels to an external effects processor; similarly,
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 input,
so if you are returning a mono signal to the mix, simply connect it to the
left input, and the signal will be routed to both sides of the stereo mix.
Subgroup Outputs. These are balanced mono outputs for each subgroup.
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 through 24, and the talkback can be used as an extra input when
using the StudioLive as an audio interface. See Section 6.4.2 for details.

Aux Outputs. The StudioLive is equipped with six
auxiliary outputs. In Section 8.5, we discuss in detail
how to create aux mixes for monitoring and effects
processing. Aux mixes are routed to these outputs.
