Normal
Re: Finally pulled the trigger on a StudioLive 24.4.2I'm going to agree with everyone else and say that the Presonus either has a really odd gain structure or a really bad meter setup. I used the Studiolive 16.4.2 once, without reading the manual or preparing at all, and after setting all the input gains to a reasonable level (or so I thought), I couldn't get nearly enough output from the mains (and this was for an acoustic show, running into JBL PRX mains). I ended up having to run the main fader at well above unity, with the output meter about clipping, to get any sort of reasonable output from the mains. I don't know if the outputs on the Studiolive have a relatively low level, or what was going on, but it was nowhere near even the normal Mackie's output capability.
