2.1 Level Setting Procedure
StudioLive™ Series III
Owner’s Manual
2Getting Started
Before you begin, here are a few rules to get you started:
•Always turn down the Main fader and both the Monitor and Phones knobs in the
Monitor section before making connections.
•Before plugging or unplugging a microphone while other channels are active,
mute the channel to which you are connecting.
•Your faders should be set on or near the“U” mark whenever possible. The “U”
indicates unity gain, meaning the signal is neither boosted nor attenuated. If the
main output of your StudioLive is too high or too low when your faders are at or
near unity, you can use the output-level knob on the rear panel of the StudioLive
to adjust the level up or down until you have achieved the optimal volume.
•Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch the level meters; when signal nears
Clipping, the top LED illuminates, indicating that the analog-to-digital converters
are in danger of being overdriven. Overdriving the converters will cause digital
distortion, which has a negative effect on sound quality.
Your P.A. and studio equipment should be powered on in the following order:
•Sound sources (keyboards, direct boxes, microphones, etc.) connected to the
StudioLive inputs
•StudioLive Series III mixer
•Computer (if applicable)
•Power amplifiers or powered loudspeakers
When it is time to power down, your system should be turned off in the reverse
order. Now that you know what not to do, let’s get started!
2.1 Level Setting Procedure
1. Plug a microphone into the Channel 1 input on your StudioLive Series III
with a standard XLR cable.
2. Connect the main outputs of your StudioLive to your powered monitors (or
power amp if using passive speakers).

2.2 Useful Concepts
StudioLive™ Series III
Owner’s Manual
2.2 Useful Concepts
This section covers some basic workflow concepts to help you to more quickly get
acquainted with your StudioLive.
2.2.1 Select Buttons and the Fat Channel
All around the StudioLive, you will see Select buttons. There is a Select button on
each channel as well as the master fader. Each of these buttons serves exactly the
same purpose: to access the available Fat Channel parameters for its channel or bus.
These buttons will also change colors to alert you as to the type of mix you are
viewing (Aux, Subgroup, or Matrix)
The Fat Channel is the heart of the StudioLive. It gives you a wealth of powerful signal
processing, mixing, and configuration tools to help you make the most of your mixer.
Each channel and mix in your StudioLive can take advantage of the Fat Channel
functions at the touch of the corresponding Select button.
The 8 multipurpose knobs, buttons, and Scribble Strip displays in the Fat Channel
shift their functions to suit your needs as you move between tasks. The integrated
touchscreen works in tandem, providing useful information and fluid touch control.
For more information on using the Fat Channel system, see Section 5.

StudioLive™ Series III
Owner’s Manual
2.2.2 FlexMixes
In a traditional analog console, there are several different types of buses, each
feeding a dedicated output. Your StudioLive mixer features 16/10 analog Mix
outputs, each driven by a FlexMix bus. Why do we call them FlexMixes? Because each
FlexMix can be configured as any one of four bus types:
•Pre- or Post-Fader Send Aux Bus. Aux buses provide auxiliary mixes that are
separate from the main and subgroup mixes.
•Subgroup. Subgroups are alternate buses that act much like the Main L+R bus on
your StudioLive.
•Matrix Mix. Matrix mixes provide auxiliary mixes created from any bus output as
well as every input channel.
What’s more, FlexMixes can be stereo linked or used as mono, providing maximum
flexibility.
Note: Like the StudioLive 32, the StudioLive 16 provides 16 Flex Mixes. The last six of which
can be routed to an AVB network.
For more information on using and configuring FlexMixes, see Section 4.6
2.2.3 Fader Layers
To provide the most compact form factor, the StudioLive mixer utilizes fader layers.
Each layer allows you to view the channel strip controls for the input channels in each
mix. Additional fader layers allow you to view just the Aux Inputs, the DCA Group
outputs, or the Mix Master outputs.
More information about Fader Layers can be found in Section 4.2 and 4.3.
2.2.4 DCA Groups
Filter DCA Groups are a way to control the overall volume of a group of related
channels (such as all drum channels). While you can accomplish a similar result by
routing channels to a subgroup and controlling their volume with the subgroup
master, DCA Filter Groups require no such re-routing and offer some additional utility.
For more information on using DCA Filter Groups, see Section 4.4.
2.2.4 Recording and Playback
The StudioLive Series III mixers are equipped with a multi-track SD recorder that
allows you to record all input channels plus the main bus. This SD recorder is
completely integrated with your mixer and is designed to simplify recording and
playback. Playback channels from the SD card can be switched individually
per channel.
In addition to the onboard SD recorder, a USB audio interface is also included. This
interface is continuously bidirectional, allowing you to use plugins as inserts as well
as recording and playback applications.
More information about SD recording and playback is available in Section 7.
More information on USB recording and playback is available in the StudioLive
Software Library Reference Manual.

3.1 Rear Panel Connections
Microphone Inputs. Your StudioLive Series III mixer is supplied with 32/16 PreSonus
XMAX microphone preamplifiers, for use with all types of microphones. The XMAX
preamp features a Class A input buffer circuit, followed by a dual-servo gain stage.
This results in exceptionally low noise, and a wild range of gain, allowing you to boost
signals significantly without introducing unwanted background noise.
48-volt Phantom Power. The StudioLive provides individually-switchable 48V
phantom power for each microphone input.
WARNING: Phantom power is required for condenser microphones and certain other
specialty microphones that contain active preamp circuitry. However, applying phantom
power to mics that don’t require power can damage them (especially ribbon mics). 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
Mic/Line Inputs. Half of the microphone inputs on your StudioLive can also accept
line-level signals. These inputs use TRS-XLR combo jacks that can accept both XLR
and balanced or unbalanced 1/4”cables. The ¼-inch TRS connectors bypass the gain
stage and are scaled to accept line-level signals up to +18 dBFS.
Power User Tip: When the line inputs are engaged, the microphone preamp circuit is
bypassed completely, and no trim control is available. Typical examples of line-level
connections are synthesizer outputs, signal processors, and stand-alone mic preamps
and channel strips. Use the output level control on your line-level device to adjust its level.
Note: As with many audio devices, plugging a microphone or line-level device, or
enabling/disabling phantom power can create a momentary noise spike in the audio
output of your StudioLive mixer. It is highly recommended that you mute or turn down a
channel’s fader before changing connections or toggling phantom power on or off.

Aux Inputs. The StudioLive offers two balanced stereo auxiliary inputs.
While these line inputs are generally used as effects returns, they can also
be used for any line-level source (synthesizers, amp modelers, etc.). The
left input of each pair is normalled to the right input, so if you are
returning a mono signal to the mix, connect it to the left input, and the
signal will be routed to both sides of the mix.
Power User Tip: More information about using external effects processors
can be found in Section 4.6.1.2.
Sub Outputs (StudioLive 32 only). These are balanced mono outputs,
one for each subgroup.
Power User Tip: While the StudioLive 16 does not provide dedicated outputs, it
does provide four subgroups that can be routed to the AVB network.
More information about Subgroups can be found in Section 4.6.2.
Mix Outputs. Your StudioLive features 16/10 Mix Outputs. Given the flexible nature
of these mix buses, the Mix Outputs may be used to output Aux, Subgroup, or Matrix
mixes. Your StudioLive is equipped with 12/6 XLR Mix Outputs and 4 balanced ¼”TRS
Mix Outputs.
Power User Tip: More information about configuring mixes can be found in Section 4.6.
Talkback Mic Input. The StudioLive does not have a built-in talkback microphone, so
an external mic must be used. Phantom power is always enabled on the Talkback Mic
input, so either a dynamic or condenser mic can be used. However, if using a dynamic
mic, we recommend checking its documentation to verify that phantom power will
not harm it.
Power User Tip: The Talkback Mic input uses the same high-quality XMAX mic preamp
employed by the other input channels, and can be enabled as a recording input.
Main Outputs. The StudioLive features both stereo and
mono-summed main outputs, on XLR jacks. A level control is
provided for both sets of outputs. The Main (stereo) output
level control has a range of -80 to 0 dB. The Mono Sum
output level control has a range of -80 to +6 dB.
Power User Tip: Both the stereo and mono-summed Main
outputs are active at all times.

Tape In/Out. These RCA input and output jacks can be used to connect a music
player (MP3, CD, tape) or other consumer device to your system. The Tape inputs are
an available input source within the mixer, while the Tape outputs mirror the output
of the Main output pair.
Monitor Outputs. This pair of balanced TRS outputs are intended to be connected to
a pair of monitors in the control room or sound booth. The level is controlled by the
Monitor knob in the Monitors section on the top panel.
AES Output. By default, the AES/EBU digital output receives the same signal as the
stereo Main outputs. However, you can route any of the mix buses, Tape input, or the
Solo bus to this output. Because the StudioLive cannot be synced externally, you will
need to use it as the master clock and set your AES-equipped device to receive word
clock externally via AES. Please consult the documentation for your external digital
device for instructions.
Power User Tip: This output can also be connected to S/PDIF-format devices, through the
use of an AES/EBU-S/PDIF adapter. A standard XLR-RCA adapter will not function. AES/
EBU-S/PDIF adapters contain impedance-matching circuitry that is required for proper
function.
Audio Network. This connection accepts both Ethercon and RJ-45 connections and
is used for AVB audio networking.
Ethernet Port. This RJ-45 port is used to connect your StudioLive to a standard LAN
network for control applications only.
Power User Tip: More information about AVB and control networking can be found in
Section 11.1.
USB Port. This female USB-B jack provides connection to a computer for audio
interfacing, control, and file transfer duties.

3.2 Top Panel Connections
Lamp Connector. This 12V BNC connection is provided to connect a third-party
console lamp. Do not use a bulb that is larger than 12V, 380 mA.
SD Card Slot. This slot accepts standard-sized SD cards at capacities up to 32 GB
(SDHC supported). SD cards can be used for audio recording and playback,
storage and recall of mixer settings, and firmware updates.
Headphone Output. On the front of the StudioLive, a 1/4-inch TRS jack is available
for connecting a pair of headphones. Headphone output level is set by turning the
Phones knob in the Monitors section of the mixer. By default, this output receives its
signal from the solo bus, but you can freely assign any mix bus (pre-or-post-fader),
USB Digital Return, or audio network input to the Headphone output. See Section 9
for more information.
