digiLiVE Digital Mixing Console
Quick Start Guide
Issue 1.0
Introduction
This Quick Start Guide is intended to help you do just that – to get going with your digiLiVE as
quickly as possible. The Guide will show you how to connect your microphones, instruments or
other audio sources to the console, how to connect speakers in various ways and how to create
a basic mix. It goes on to show you how to enhance your mix by adding gating, compression and
reverb, and explains how your digiLiVE can be used as a monitor mixer. Finally, it shows you what
to do to control your digiLiVE remotely from a compatible iOS device.
IMPORTANT: This Quick Start Guide is not intended as an alternative or replacement for the full
digiLiVE User Guide, which will either be in the box with the console, or available to you as a free
download. As you work through the simple operating examples in the Quick Start Guide, you’ll
almost certainly notice that the console includes a great many features and possibilities that are not
covered here. Once you’ve mastered the basic principles of operation explained in the Quick Start
Guide, you should refer to the User Guide for full details of how to use all the additional facilities.
Unpacking your digiLiVE
Unpacking the digiLiVE you’ll nd the following (in addition to this Quick Start Guide):
• digiLiVE console
• Console PSU
• IEC power cable
• Wi-Fi dongle
• User Guide*
* may alternatively be available as a download from www.studiomaster.com
Powering your digiLiVE
Your digiLiVE is powered from the 12 V DC power supply (PSU) packed separately in the carton.
Never use any other PSU: your warranty will be invalidated if you do. Connect the PSU to the AC
mains supply with the cable supplied; it can operate on mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V. When
the PSU is connected to AC mains, a blue LED on the PSU lights. The DC output cable should be
plugged in to the 12V/DC INPUT socket on digiLiVE’s rear panel.
Once connected, digiLiVE starts its boot-up sequence as soon as you turn the AC mains on; this
takes approximately 30 seconds.
The Power button has several functions:
• A short press (less than 3 seconds) when the console is ON places it in SAFE mode. The screen
and all other displays turn o and the controls become inoperative, but audio will continue to be
passed with all console settings retained;
• A short press when the console is in SAFE mode returns it to its normal operating state;
• A long press (more than 3 seconds) when the console is ON turns it o;
• A long press (more than 3 seconds) when the console is OFF switches it back on.
Whenever digiLiVE powers down, all current console settings are saved. Next time you power it
up, digiLiVE will have exactly the same settings you last used.
Connecting speakers
Connect powered speakers to the two rear panel XLR sockets MIX OUTPUT L & Rusing suitable
cables. All the main outputs on digiLiVE are at standard line level and are electronically balanced.
If you’re using passive speakers with one or more separate ampliers, connect digiLiVE’s outputs
to the amplier inputs.
NOTE: It is always good practice to turn on interconnected audio devices in sequence. In this case,
turn digiLiVE on rst, then turn on your powered speakers or power amplier(s). When powering
down, turn the speakers or amplier o rst, then turn digiLiVE o. Observing this sequence will
avoid nasty loud bangs or thumps from the speakers.
Connection to passive speakers Connection to active speakers
ADJUST, MUTE and SOLO
In the Application Examples in this Quick Start Guide, you’ll need to navigate around digiLiVE’s
touch-sensitive screens, make selections and adjust various parameters.
Most digiLiVE adjustments – apart from fader movements, mutes, etc. - can be made using the
large rotary ADJUST knob. The parameter being adjusted will be indicated on-screen by a yellow
border around its control; to select a parameter for adjustment, touch its control on the screen.
In the example below, the ADJUST knob will pan the signal in Channel 1 between the left and right
stereo channels.
Press a channel MUTE button to mute the channel and again to unmute. You can plug headphones
into the socket marked and use the SOLO buttons to listen to one or more input channels
while setting up the mix. Pressing SOLO does not alter the main output mix.
Application Examples
The examples shown here use digiLiVE’s basic “out of the box” factory default settings. All of the
situations described can be expanded upon in various ways by using digiLiVE’s many additional
features; please consult the User Guide for more detailed descriptions.
IMPORTANT: Always start setting up your live sound application with digiLiVE’s faders fully closed
(at their bottom position) and all the rotary GAIN controls (at the top of the mixer) fully anticlockwise.
This should ensure that no bangs or thumps will be heard from your system while you’re setting
everything up.
Application Example 1 – solo performer
This simple application would be suitable for a solo performer, e.g., a singer/instrumentalist. It would
also be appropriate for an AV situation such as in a school classroom, or anywhere a presenter is
using a laptop or similar audio source as part of his/her presentation.
INSTRUMENT
(via mic, DI box or from
Line Out on amplifier)
MIC
LAPTOP, TABLET, ETC
POWERED SPEAKERS
(L & R)
Connecting up
Connect your speakers or power amplier to the MIX OUTPUT L & Rsockets as described
previously.
Plug the vocal microphone into MIC 1 input. Note Inputs MIC 1 to MIC 4 are “Combo” type sockets
which can accept either a male XLR connector or a jack plug (TRS or TR). Microphones intended
for live use will usually be the dynamic type, but in some AV situations condenser mics may be in
use; in this case, phantom power will need to be turned on for this input channel (see below).
Use Input MIC 2 for the instrument. Acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitars will need to
be mic’d up. An electroacoustic guitar can either be connected directly using a standard guitar
lead if it has sucient output level, or via a DI box. For amplied instruments, place a mic in front
of the amplier or use a DI box between the instrument and amplier to obtain a mic level signal;
alternatively, the amplier may have a “Line Out” socket which can be plugged into the mixer input
directly.
If you need to use a stereo source such as a laptop, tablet or similar audio device, it is most easily
connected to STEREO input 2, which is available both in the form of a 3.5 mm jack socket and
separate left and right ¼” jack sockets.
Making a mix
digiLiVE’s default conguration allows you to create a stereo mix simply by setting input channel
gain and then opening the channel and main faders. On switching on, INPUT 1-8 is selected in
the Layer section (note the button is lit), so the input channel faders, MUTE, SOLO and SELECT
buttons control Inputs 1 to 8, and the screen display shows Channels 1 to 8.

MIX METERS
If you are using a condenser mic, press the SELECT button for Channel 1, and then tap the Input
Stage area of the highlighted channel (the topmost area, labelled Mic IN).
Touch the 48V button to enable phantom power for Channel 1. Touch the red cross (top right-hand
corner of the screen) to return to the Channels 1 to 8 page.
The 48V indicator at the top of the on-screen channel strip turns to red to remind you that phantom
power is on.
IMPORTANT: Only turn phantom power on when condenser mics are in use. Do not turn it on for
any other type of source (however, phantom-powered active DI boxes are an exception to this rule).
Adjust the GAIN control for Channel 1 while speaking into the mic. You will see an indication on
Channel 1’s input meter, which is duplicated by a smaller on-screen meter. A good setting is when
the meter just turns yellow on loud passages.
Set Channel 1’s fader to about the zero mark and move the MIX OUTPUT fader upwards. You
should hear the vocal mic when speaking into it, and see a level indication on the MIX meters.
These meters monitor the console’s output, which is feeding the speakers.
Repeat the above procedure for Channel 2, which is receiving the signal from the instrument.
If you are using the STEREO 2 input for an audio source as described in “Connecting up” above,
press the LAYER button marked INPUT 9-12 ST-USB.
