connect it to your computer or iOS device. This helps avoid problems
during installation and setup. This manual covers hardware functions for

called out, the RM32AI will be mentioned first, followed by the RM16AI.

separate documentation is also available for the StudioLive Software Library.
Throughout this manual you’ll find Power User Tips, providing mixing tricks, some
of which are unique to the StudioLive RM32AI and RM16AI, as well as explanations
of various audio terms. Additionally, to help you get the most from your mixer, you’ll
