Common fan-outs are DB25 to (8) XLRM and DB25 to (8) TRS. These outputs are
post-gain, pre-insert, and pre-A/D converter. Only the microphone preamps and
line-level inputs are available through the direct outputs. The FireWire returns
cannot be patched to the direct outputs. (See Section 6.4.2 for more information.)

Firewire Ports. There are two standard 6-pin FireWire 400 ports on the back of the
StudioLive. Either port can be used to connect your StudioLive to a FireWire port
on your computer. If your computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on
laptops), you will need to purchase a 4-to-6-pin adaptor or cable. These adaptors
and cables can be found at your local computer supply store. Use the second
FireWire port to connect additional FireWire devices (such as external hard drives)
to your computer or to daisy-chain an additional StudioLive mixer. You can connect
two StudioLive 24.4.2 mixers to create a standalone, large-format mixing console.
S/PDIF Output. By default, the S/PDIF output receives the same signal as the main
outputs, so no activation is necessary. However, any buses that can be routed to
the auxiliary FireWire returns can be routed to the S/PDIF output, either through
the System menu in the Digital Effects | Master Control section, or in the StudioLive
Control Panel. (See Sections 5.4and 7.2.5 for more information.) Because the
StudioLive cannot be synced externally, you will need to use it as the master clock

Pre-Insert Balanced Direct Outputs. These are
the balanced, direct analog outputs for the 24
channels. The DB25 connectors divide the channels
into three groups of eight. Balanced DB25 fan-out
snakes can be obtained in various configurations
at most recording and live-sound retailers.
