1.2 About this Manual
We suggest that you spend some time with this manual before starting to work with
your StudioLive Series III mixer, to familiarize yourself with its features, workflows, and
connection procedures. This will help your setup process go as smoothly as possible.
This manual applies to all StudioLive Series III mixers. While every StudioLive Series
III mixer provides nearly identical mixing capabilities, some features and workflows
vary between models. Where these differences occur, they will be called out. All
illustrations for shared features and functions will show a StudioLive 64S.
This manual covers the following hardware products:
StudioLive Series III S Models
• StudioLive 64S
• StudioLive 32S
• StudioLive 32SX
• StudioLive 32SC
StudioLive Series III Blue Models (requires v. 2.0 firmware or later)
• StudioLive 32
• StudioLive 24
• StudioLive 16
Throughout this manual, you will find Power User Tips, providing mixing tricks and
explanations of various useful audio terms. Near the end of this manual, you’ll find
a selection of audio tutorials, covering everything from microphone placement to
recommended equalizer and compression settings. We hope these tutorials help you
to get the most from your StudioLive Series III mixer.
All models, except the StudioLive 64S, are 32-channel mixers and will be referred to
as such when differences occur between the StudioLive 64S and the other mixers in
the StudioLive Series III family.
Thank you, once again, for purchasing our product. We are confident that you will
enjoy your new StudioLive.
