Key Features

• FlexMixes and Buses - StudioLive offers nearly infinite mix configuration. Set up 16 FlexMixes as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes to match any workflow. Four dedicated effects buses add reverb and delay without affecting monitor mixes, while four subgroups simplify processing for drums, vocals, and more - and with 24 DCAs, group control stays intuitive, flexible, and fast.

• Integrated Recording - The unique 64x64 bidirectional audio interface makes recording individual channels and routing to plug-in racks effortless. Playback streams appear instantly with one button-no extra routing needed. Nothing else makes monitoring live musicians and playback this easy.

• Flexible Routing - With StudioLive, any of four available sources can be patched to any channel. Instantly switch between analog inputs or digital returns (AVB, USB, or SD Card) at the push of a button and route audio freely to networked devices or your computer.

• Customized Configurations and User Settings - Create a custom fader layout with the user layer for fast access to critical channels. Soft patching routes the same source to multiple channels for parallel processing or simultaneous Front of House and Monitor mixing, while Master FX mutes offer instant processing bypass. And user profiles and permissions give administrators full control-so you can lock access to EQ, dynamics, gain staging, scenes, projects, and level limits to keep less experienced operators on track.

• Pristine Sound Quality - Get ultra-clean, transparent sound with PreSonus' XMAX-Remote preamps-pure analog tone with digital recall. Studio-grade 32-bit floating-point DSP delivers smooth, precise processing, while 115 dB A/D-D/A converters and low-jitter clocking ensure best-in-class dynamic range.
