1.1 Getting Started: IMPORTANT! - Level Setting
Before you begin, we recommend you follow a few general rules of thumb:
• Always turn the Main fader and the Monitor and Phones knobs in the Monitor section
down before making connections. Before plugging or unplugging a microphone
while other channels are active, mute the channel to which you are connecting.
• Your faders should be set on or near the “U” mark whenever possible. The “U”
indicates unity gain, meaning the signal is neither boosted nor attenuated. If the
main output of your StudioLive is too high or too low when your faders are at or
near unity, you can use the output-level knob on the rear panel of the StudioLive
to adjust the level up or down until you have achieved the optimal volume.
• Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch the level meters; when the LEDs near
the Clip mark, the top LED will illuminate, indicating that the analog-to-digital
converters are in danger of being overdriven. Overdriving the converters
will cause digital distortion, which sounds terrible. The XMAX™ preamps
