4.3 Input Channel Strip
The StudioLive is equipped with all of the standard input controls of an analog
mixer. In addition, the StudioLive provides the added flexibility of routing a
playback stream from your audio-recording software to the mixer via the FireWire
bus, just as if it were an analog input. This lets you incorporate digital audio tracks
into the main mix and insert plug-in effects and software instruments from your
audio program. See Section 2.6 in the StudioLive Software Library Manual.
4.3.1 Input Channel Controls
Trim Control. Adjusts the Input Gain Level.
The Trim control adjusts the gain of the channel’s analog input. It is very important to
properly adjust this control in order to minimize noise and avoid overload distortion.
Phantom Power Button. Turns Phantom Power On/Off.
The StudioLive is equipped with individual phantom power for every
microphone input. As previously described in Section 4.1.3, the 48V
button is accessible via the Fat Channel when an input channel is
selected. It will illuminate when phantom power is activated.
The 48 volts supplied by way of the XLR input provides power for condenser
microphones and other devices requiring continuous phantom power. This
power is supplied at a constant level to prevent any signal degradation.
Input Channel Select Button. Enables Fat Channel Processing and Routing.
As previously described in Section 4.1.1, the Select button routes its channel through
the Fat Channel, allowing you to add dynamics processing, EQ, panning, and more.
Input Channel MultiMode Button. Engages FireWire Return, Solo, and Mute.
This button’s function is determined by the MultiMode control switches. Depending
on which mode is engaged, this button will function as the FireWire Return, Solo, or
Mute button for its input channel. For more information on the MultiMode buttons
and their functions, please refer to Section 4.5.
Channel Fader. Controls the Overall Level of the Channel.
Each input channel features a 60 mm fader for level
adjustment. Unity gain (0 dB) is denoted by a “U.”
The white area above the fader can be used as a scribble strip. Use only
oil pencils; other types of pens or pencils cannot be wiped off.
To clean the scribble strip, use a lightly damp cloth to remove the writing.
