Changes the Clock Source for Chained FireStudio-
family Devices

The StudioLive cannot slave to an external clock. 
However, if you are cascading it with FireStudio-family 
products that do feature digital inputs, the clock source 
becomes selectable. 

The clock source setting will determine where the device 
chain is receiving word-clock information. This keeps the 
chained devices in sync with other digital devices and 
with each other. The menu options are determined by the 
available digital inputs in the chain.

In general, you will want the StudioLive to be your Master 
Clock, in which case set the clock to StudioLive-Internal.

Universal Control: Launch Window

Sample Rate Selector

Changes StudioLive Sample Rate.

Set the sample rate to 44.1 or 48 kHz from the Launcher 
window when your StudioLive is connected to a computer. 

A higher sample rate will increase the 

fi

 delity of the 

recording. It will also increase the 

fi

 le size and the amount 

of system resources necessary to process the audio.

To ensure the safety of the audio equipment connected to 
it, the StudioLive will mute all post-converter outputs for 
two seconds when the sample rate is changed or when 
the mixer is connecting to a computer. This includes the 
main and the control-room outputs, as well as the aux 
and subgroup outputs. While this offers a good measure 
of protection to your sound system, it could put the 
brakes on a live show. Because of this, it very important 
that the sample rate be selected and locked in prior to 
beginning any recording or performance.
