Please note: As with any mixer, plugging in a microphone or a line-level input device, or
turning phantom power on or off, will create a momentary spike in the audio output of your
StudioLive. Because of this, it is highly recommended that you mute or turn down the channel
trim before changing connections or turning phantom power on or off. This simple step will add years
to the life of your audio equipment.
Microphone Inputs. Your StudioLive is equipped with 12 PreSonus XMAX
microphone preamplifiers for use with all types of microphones. The XMAX
preamplifier has a Class A input buffer, followed by a dual-servo gain stage. This
arrangement results in ultra-low noise and wide gain control, allowing you to boost
signals without increasing unwanted background noise.
48-volt Phantom Power. The StudioLive provides 48V phantom power for the
microphone input on each channel. This feature can be individually enabled for each
channel using buttons on the top panel.
WARNING: Phantom power is only required for condenser micro phones and
can severely damage dynamic mics, especially ribbon mics. Therefore, switch
phantom power off for all channels where it is not required.
XLR connector wiring for phantom power:
Pin 1 = GND
Pin 2 = +48V
Pin 3 = +48V
Line-level Input. Each channel of the StudioLive has a 1/4-inch, balanced TRS
connection for line-level input. When these inputs are engaged, the microphone-
preamp circuit is bypassed. Typical examples of line-level connections are synthesizer
outputs, CD/DVD-player outputs, and (with exceptions) signal-processor outputs.
