6. Select the AVB Output Sends from the StudioLive 24R you’d like returned to the
physical outputs on your NSB stage box. Because the AVB streams are routed
must be routed in banks of 8, you can only source these outputs from one mixer
on the network.
Note: You must assign an output stream from your mixer to your NSB-series stage
box so that it is clocked properly over the network. If you do not assign an output
stream from your mixer, your networked stage box will not be properly synced and
you will hear audio artifacts. For more information on clocking over AVB, please
review the StudioLive Series III AVB Networking Guide.
7. Press the Apply button when finished.
The Power Network LED on your NSB stage box will turn from green to blue
when proper clock sync has been established with the AVB network.
Step 2: Routing Stage Box Inputs to Mixer
In our example, we are using the NSB 8.8 to add 8 additional analog
inputs and 8 additional analog output to a StudioLive 24R.
1. Click on the AVB Inputs tab.
2. Next to Inputs 25-32, select NSB 8.8: Send 1-8 from the Available Stream drop-
down menu. This will patch the eight inputs on your NSB 8.8 to channels 25-32
on your StudioLive 24R.
Note: NSB stage boxes have two sets of streams: one with Gain Compensation and
one without. In our example, the StudioLive 24R has total preamp control over the
NSB stage box and is the only mixer connect to its streams, because of this, Gain
Compensation is not required in this example. Please review Section 3 for more
information on Gain Compensation and when it is advantageous or even
required.
