Once you have positioned and delayed your satellite system, you will want to
match the output levels of the main and delay systems. To do this, use an SPL
meter to match the output of the main and delay systems at the delay-system
measurement position. This means that if you are standing 20 ft from the left side
of the main system and 30 ft from the left side of the delay system, and the output
of the main system is 85 dB, the output of the delay system should also be 85 dB.

4.9.3 Smaart Output Check Wizard
It’s five minutes before a show, and suddenly the drummer says there’s nothing
coming out of his monitor. Or you do a friend a favor and run sound at her club
because she has the flu, and you show up not knowing which aux is connected
to what monitor or which sub is controlling what sidefill. The Smaart Output
Check wizard was designed to make these problems disappear like magic!
By momentarily taking over the routing and volume control of an output and
patching pink noise to it, the Smaart Output Check wizard lets you quickly
discover which speaker is connected where and helps you quickly get to the
root of a routing problem. In the case of the drummer with silent monitor, if he
hears pink noise, you can save yourself ten minutes of frantic cable tracing only
to discover the output level was inadvertently turned down on his aux mix.
Click on the Output Check tab to use the Smaart Output Check wizard. You will be
shown buttons for all outputs on your StudioLive. Click on an output’s button, and
pink noise will fade in for three seconds. You can click on the button again to stop it.
To adjust the pink noise, use the fader on the right side of the page.
