6 Tape Controls

By default, the Tape channel is sourced from the analog Tape In jacks on the rear

of the mixer and the currently paired Bluetooth audio device simultaneously.

The two signals are mixed together and summed on the Tape In channel.

If you prefer, you can instead route audio from a connected network device,

computer connected via USB, or from audio ﬁles stored on an inserted SD card.

To conﬁgure the tape input options, press the Edit button in the Tape control area,

next to the touchscreen.

The Tape Edit screen is displayed. Here, you can choose a signal to be routed to the

Tape input channel from the following options:

• Analog/BT. Touch this button to route both the Tape input jacks and the currently

selected paired Bluetooth device to the Tape input channel. When selected, two

slots are shown for paired Bluetooth devices. Touch the button that relates to your

choice of device to route its audio output to the Tape input channel. Each device

also has a Remove Device button, which lets you break the pairing connection to

that device, allowing you to pair another device, or to work out pairing issues with

a device that doesn’t seem to function.

• Network. Touch this button to use audio from the designated network tape

channels (37 and 38) as the local tape input source. For more information see

Section 8.1.4.

• USB. Touch this button to route audio from a USB-connected computer to the

Tape input channel. Once selected, USB streams 37 and 38 will be available as the

tape source. For more information on USB audio routing,

see Section 8.1.4.

• SD Card. Touch this button to route audio residing on an inserted SD card to the

Tape input channel.

The Tape to Main knob mirrors the setting of the Tape input channel fader. Touch the

knob to adjust this setting with the Master Control encoder.

6.1 Pairing a Bluetooth Device

To pair a Bluetooth audio device for use with the Tape input:

• Press and hold the Bluetooth button in the Tape control area for two seconds

to enter pairing mode.

• The button will ﬂash, indicating that your StudioLive is searching for a

discoverable Bluetooth device.

• Once your device is successfully paired, the Bluetooth button will illuminate

and stop ﬂashing.

Note that while up to two Bluetooth devices can be paired at one time, only one device

can input audio at a time.
