Owner’s Manual

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.

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 AVB Networking Guide.

7. Press the Apply button when ﬁnished.

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.
