2.2 Direct connect with a StudioLive Series III rack mixer
In this example, we will be looking at using one NSB8.8 to expand the I/O capability
of the StudioLive 24R rack mixer, so that it has 32 inputs and 16 outputs.
Connect your NSB8.8 to your StudioLive 24R as shown
below and power on your equipment:
Step 1: Connect Your Stage Box to Your Mixer
1. Launch UC Surface and connect to your StudioLive 24R.
2. Click or Tap on the Settings Gear.
3. Click or Tap on the Network tab.
4. In the Stagebox Setup area, select the NSB8.8 from the list.
Power User Tip: In applications where you are using multiple NSB-series stage boxes
of the same model, you can press the Identify button. This will flash the Power
Network LED on the front of the selected NSB stage box from green to red, allowing
you to quickly locate your selection.
5. Select the mixer you’d like to use to control the preamps on your NSB stage box.
By default, this is set to “All”, enabling any StudioLive Series III mixer on the AVB
network to control the preamps on your stage box.
Power User Tip: Because your NSB stage box inputs are most likely routed to
multiple sources on your network, PreSonus highly recommends designating one
mixer to control the NSB preamps.
