• 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 additional StudioLive mixers. You
can connect two StudioLive mixers to a computer for recording, or you can daisy-chain up to
eight StudioLive mixers to creates a standalone large-format mixing console.
• 2 Amp Fuse. This is the StudioLive’s fuse housing. Your StudioLive uses a 5 mm x 20 mm,
250 VAC, fast-acting fuse.
• S/PDIF Output. By default, the S/PDIF output receives the same signal as the main outputs,
so no activation is necessary. However, any of 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
2.10.4 and 3.3.3 for more information). Because the StudioLive cannot be synced externally,
you will need to use it as the master clock and set your S/PDIF-equipped device to receive
word clock externally via S/PDIF. Please consult the documentation for your external digital
device for instructions.
• Power-Adapter Input. This is where you plug in the provided IEC power cable.
• Power Switch. Push the top part of the switch ( | ) to turn on your StudioLive. Push the
bottom part of the switch ( O ) to turn it off.
