Reviewed April 15, 2021

Before proceeding please be sure your firmware is updated on your StudioLive and that you are using the latest Universal Control:

==============================================================

 

A Series III Rack mixer can be used as a stagebox with a Series III Console mixer.

 

NOTE: This will require an ethernet cable to connect the two mixers via the Network Audio Connection port. After connecting your mixers check that there is a SOLID amber led and BLINKING green led at the point of connection.

Here is a list of our recommended Ethernet cabling for AVB usage:

1. On the console, press the 'Home' button. Then touch 'Audio Routing' on screen followed by 'Remote I/O Setup' on screen.

 

2. Ensure that your mixer appears as a connected device and touch the drop down arrow on the right.

Now the stagebox setup is complete. When you set the inputs on the console to 'Network' input-type, the channel will source from the corresponding input on your rack mixer.

Outputs will mirror 1:1 from the FrontOfHouse StudioLive as well. For example, Mix 1 set on the console will be routed to mix output 1 on the rack.


NOTE: While in Stagebox Mode, you will not have access to any function in Universal Control for the rack mixer.
