Owner’s Manual
4. Select Inputs 25-32 from the Input Streams list.
5. Select NSB 16.8: Send 9-16 from the Available Stream list to patch the second
eight NSB inputs to channels 25-32 on your mixer.
Note: NSB stage boxes have two sets of streams: one with Gain Compensation and
one without. In our example, the StudioLive 16 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.
Step 3: Engaged Network Sources
1. Press the back arrow twice to return to the Audio Routing screen.
2. Press Digital Patching.
3. Select Input Source and scroll to Inputs 17-32. Assign each to the Network source
by pressing the Network button next to each Input.
OR
Select each channel and press the Network button from the Input source section
