The 32-channel StudioLive 32 is the most powerful and flexible digital mixer available for live sound and recording. PreSonus gave the StudioLive 32 the works: 40 total inputs; extensive AVB networking; more recording tracks over USB than any other digital mixer; touch-sensitive motorized faders; and a host of State-space modeled Fat Channel plug-ins that let you expand your processing options. Packaged with a full suite of integrated software, including PreSonus Studio One DAW and Capture™ live-recording software, the StudioLive 32 is a groundbreaking professional digital mixer and USB audio interface in a compact, scaleable design.
Every audio system is built to solve a unique set of problems. The StudioLive 32 digital mixer and the PreSonus ecosystem of AVB networking products allow you to create a system that is truly customized for your needs. Connect NSB-series stage boxes to add remote analog inputs and outputs wherever they’re required. Add EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers to give your musicians their own customizable 16-channel monitor mix. Multiple StudioLive Series III digital mixers can be networked together, allowing you to route audio to and from any device on the audio network thanks to the flexibility of Digital Patching available both onboard your StudioLive 32 digital mixer and inside UC Surface remote mixer software.
PreSonus Capture recording software is an intuitive, rock-solid multitrack recording application with a fully integrated Virtual Soundcheck mode that runs directly on your StudioLive 32 digital mixer or on your macOS or Windows machine. This gives you the option to record to your computer using the USB audio interface built into your StudioLive 32 digital mixer, or leave your laptop at home and record 34 streams directly to an SD card. Record any combination of channels, FlexMixes, and the Main stereo mix either to USB, to an SD Card, or both for the ultimate redundant live recording rig with the touch of a single button. StudioLive mix scenes can be stored with your recordings to speed up Virtual Soundchecks. Best of all, Capture sessions open natively in Studio One with the entire StudioLive mix scene recreated in the Studio One console, complete with fader levels, Fat Channel settings, mutes, solos, and more to launch your live mix right where you left it.
For years, we've included Studio One Artist with our hardware interfaces and mixers. But with the StudioLive 32, we know you're looking to go big or go home so we chose to bundle the Professional edition of Studio One with each StudioLive 32. Not only will you enjoy Professional only features like Melodyne Integration, the mastering Project Page, Note FX, and Macro Controls, you'll also get tight hardware integration between Studio One and your mixer, including remote preamp control from directly within Studio One.
The dynamic Fat Channel on the StudioLive 32 digital mixer puts critical EQ and Dynamics functions beneath your fingertips while giving you fast access to every parameter via the full-color touchscreen or from the Fat Channel encoders, depending on how you like to work. The StudioLive 32 digital mixer comes with ten vintage EQ and classic compressor Fat Channel plug-in models that can be used onboard your mixer as well as within Studio One. And when you’re ready for more options, PreSonus offers four Fat Channel plug-in collections with fifteen additional models from which to choose, giving you a host of new signal processing options. While Fat Channel plug-ins are available for every input channel, every output bus on the StudioLive 32 digital mixer is equipped with a fully variable 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, and limiter. Now you can enjoy extensive, studio-style processing whether recording in the studio or running shows on the road.
Whether you’re mixing in the studio or for a busy festival stage, the buses you need to facilitate the mix you want to create change. PreSonus designed the StudioLive 32 digital mixer to adapt with those changing needs. Each of the 16 FlexMixes on the StudioLive 32 digital mixer can be individually configured to function as an aux bus, a subgroup, or a matrix mix. An additional four static subgroup buses and four designated effects buses provide a total of 24 mix buses plus an independent solo bus and the main mix. We also provided 24 DCAs so you can more easily and flexibly control groups of channels. And with flexible viewing options for the 33 touch-sensitive motorized faders, you can choose to view 32 inputs at once or split your faders between 24 input channels and 8 outputs, including DCAs and subgroups. The Master fader can even be locked to always control your main mix or to follow the currently selected mix.
StudioLive Series III digital mixers incorporate the concept of an analog patch bay and digitize it. This lets you patch any analog input or digital return (AVB, USB, or SD) to any channel you like and customize your mix configuration. This flexible feature also allows you to freely route audio to your AVB network and record anything you’d like via USB, so you’re not limited to recording just the input channels and the main mix.
