4.1.6 Fat Channel Panning, Stereo Link, and Link Master
Panning for each input and output bus is set on the
Fat Channel. The LED display shows the Pan setting,
and the encoder to the right of the display controls
panning for the selected input or output bus. When
two channels are linked as a stereo pair, the LED
display will automatically change to a stereo pan.
Stereo linking is done within the Fat Channel. Input channels, aux buses, and
subgroups can be linked to create a stereo pair. The stereo pairs are predefined and
cannot be changed. They are as follows:
Channels 1 and 2 Channels 27 and 28 (32.4.2AI only)
Channels 3 and 4 Channels 29 and 30 (32.4.2AI only)
Channels 5 and 6 Channels 31 and 32 (32.4.2AI only)
Channels 7 and 8 Aux 1 and Aux 2
Channels 9 and 10 Aux 3 and Aux 4
Channels 11 and 12 Aux 5 and Aux 6
Channels 13 and 14 Aux 7 and Aux 8 (32.4.2AI and 24.4.2AI only)
Channels 15 and 16 Aux 9 and Aux 10 (32.4.2AI and 24.4.2AI only)
Channels 17 and 18 (32.4.2AI and 24.4.2AI only) Aux 11 and Aux 12 (32.4.2AI only)
Channels 19 and 20 (32.4.2AI and 24.4.2AI only) Aux 13 and Aux 14 (32.4.2AI only)
Channels 21 and 22 (32.4.2AI and 24.4.2AI only) Subgroups 1 and 2
Channels 23 and 24 (32.4.2AI and 24.4.2AI only) Subgroups 3 and 4
Channels 25 and 26 (32.4.2AI only)
A stereo link can be enabled when either channel in the pair is selected.
When the Stereo Link button is illuminated, all dynamics settings
(except Polarity Invert), subgroup assignments, and main assignments
are destructively pasted to the other channel in the pair.
4.1.7 Fat Channel: Subgroup and Main Output Assignments
Output assignments are set within
the Fat Channel. It should be noted
that the StudioLive prevents you
from creating a feedback loop.
Subgroups can only be assigned
to the main outs, and the aux
buses cannot be assigned to a subgroup or to the main outputs.
Any channel on the input bus can be assigned to any or all of the subgroup
outputs, as well as to the main outputs. This includes the 32/24/16 channels
in the input bus and the 2 auxiliary inputs. The internal effects bus returns can
also be assigned to any or all of the subgroups and to the main outputs.
The Digital Output button displays the status of the digital send for each channel and
bus. All input channels are sent to the digital bus (FireWire, Dante, or Thunderbolt)
pre-Fat Channel. The subgroups, main output, and aux buses send their signals
post-Fat Channel dynamics and EQ; the button will illuminate to indicate this signal
flow. All digital sends are pre-fader except for the subgroups and the main outputs.
