Small Axe Music Productions the bank button is in the upper left corner.

I would have those in your mix position. If you have a lot of them I would also incorporate them into a patchbay. If it is just a couple of channels of study I wouldn't bother. I hope this helps.

peter kamau you probably need to update the firmware. You probably have old firmware.

and solution is.... install older firmware and then install back latest firmware.

Enrico Dell'Aquila you are correct the network cable is a single point of failure.. In terms of reliability cat5 has proven itself to be far more reliable than multichannel analog snake cables. The cable is lighter, cheaper, and far easier to diagnose and fix.

run two cables for redundancy?

Nope it is a closed network between the Board and the Rack mixer. You can of course be connected to the internet.

That configuration should work. You need to Verify with Presonus. I no longer work for them and maybe something has changed.

Unfortunately this only works with StudioLive Series III mixers.

Yes that is possible and you can specify who has control of the preamp. The latest firmware also allows you to gain share between FOH and monitor world. This will gain compensate levels among multiple users of the preamp. As the person in control of the preamp trims it the other use's level will be compensated so it does not change. Please note that the gain compensation feature is only available with one of the NSB stage boxes.

@@tedbahas PLEASE, How is this possible? Using 2 Studiolive 32 mixers to a stage box as the stage box only has one AVB port. Do i connect the second mixer to the Control port?

@@soundbreed The best way to do that function is to use a AVB switch. It has 5 ports. If you are doing more than 2 devices this is what is recommended. While you can daisy chain end point devices such as stage boxes and Earmix stations, using a switch is a better way to go. Here is a link to the Presonus knowledge base for you. support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/categories/360001175151-Audio-Networking. They also just added an AVB to Dante converter that also extends its network functionality. I hope this helps. Cheers!

bobbyjackson20 You can switch channels on a channel by channel basis. You can have any channel set to local vs network. So the answer is yes!

ted bahas thanks Ted! Which screen would I set that up on? Is it in the channel settings?

Yes its part of the input setting. You can select Analog for local input. For the stage box mode you select Network for the input. USB and SD are for playback from computer or SD card. I hope this helps!

input setting on the home screen or per selected channel?

I’m also wondering about this but specifically if you have the Studiolive 16 iii mixer can you use the Studiolive 16R stagebox and have 32 total inputs?

Ariel Moreno Vergara you have 32 channels at mix but they can be any combination of remote channels from the stage box, playback channels from computer or local channels.

@@tedbahas hi so on the 32sc, I cannot purchase a 16r and expand my 32sc channels with more channels via AVB? For example tracking, say I've used all 32 usb channels so I want to now record vocals or more tracks on top of my 32 track mix down. I can use the stagebox?

justenkay there is a digital routing page where you can send any output to a stage box.

@@tedbahas Thank you!

Nope. At this time the stage boxes are specifically for the Presonus Series III Consoles and rack mixers. As the AVB interoperability standard Milan matures that may change. Milan allows differing manufacturers to have common interoperability between devices. Presonus is part of the alliance of manufacturers that is backing Milan.

@@tedbahas ok thank you so much 😊

Mario Slik Ent un fortunately no. Only the series III mixers work together. The 1602USB was based on series one mixers.

Ted Bahas awww well i guess ima have to get rid of the 16R

Mario Slik Ent bummer.. sorry

Anders Nyholm of course!

Johnny Brit I’m not sure I agree with that. High channel counts, extensive interfacing, network audio, Stageboxes, gain sharing pres, dedicated monitor mixing stations, remote mixing apps....do these sound like home studio features to you? To me the Series III ecosystem is the most professional product they have ever brought to market. Is it perfect?? No.. but it is a giant step forward for them.

@@tedbahas Thank you for your response. I want to make it clear that I like it and also that I use presonus devices. But you just extolled the features and capabilities of the new model. Against facts there are no arguments. Serie 3 does not have dedicated inserts for channels and does not have exclusive auxiliary returns for external racks and therefore Serie 3 makes life difficult for people like me who work "out of the box". Please see my Channel and my small home Studio. For this reason I see that the public focus has changed. It is no longer for serious aplications. Now it is very attractive for stage and children's room. Success for you

Johnny Brit yes no inserts are a compromise. That being said I will trade having stage boxes and flex routing for a lack of inserts especially for an out of box workflow. I can create custom I/O routes to my gear without having to repatch or compromise by having to unbalance my pro gear in order to go with a unbalanced Insert cable. The flex routing allows you move the patch from channel to channel or even use a matrix mix. These features are especially useful for people using an out of box workflow. For me it has helped to eliminate the need for a patchbay for my vintage gear. Anyway, to each his own. Have a great day!

Did you route the inputs in the digital patch bay window?

Ted Bahas, I thought by default it will automatically do 1:1 input and output. But I will have to look at that and try tomorrow. Thanks for the direction

Stenly Gonie also make sure the inputs are set to network for the channels you want to use from the stage box

Ted Bahas can these settings be found in the routing menu? (Home pg)

Stenly Gonie the digital input source is right on the fat channel routing section on the board. It’s a green button marked “network”
