PRESONUS AUDIO ELECTRONICS, INC.
StudioLive Systems - The Power of Integration
PreSonus StudioLive™ and StudioLive AI-series digital mixing systems integrate hardware and software to seamlessly handle mixing, recording, wireless control, and audio analysis. Designed for both live sound and studio recording, they employ a familiar, analog-like mixing surface.
PreSonus® StudioLive™ 32.4.2AI, 24.4.2AI, 16.4.2AI, and 16.0.2 digital mixers integrate hardware and software to seamlessly handle mixing, recording, wireless control, and audio analysis. These affordable mixers are designed for both live sound and studio recording, without compromising the requirements for either. StudioLive mixers incorporate a
multi-channel FireWire interface and come with PreSonus Capture™ recording software for Mac® and Windows®, which is preconfigured so it needs no setup. You also get PreSonus’ Studio One® Artist DAW, which auto-configures to the mixer using a template. StudioLive AI-series mixers have FireWire 800 and Ethernet ports on option cards that can be upgraded to Thunderbolt, AVB, and Dante.
ANALOGUE FEEL, DIGITAL PERFORMANCE
The StudioLive operates much like an analogue console. You use a familiar mixing surface for core mixing functions, not a menu-based screen. The Fat Channel features extensive equalisation and a separate compressor, limiter, and gate/expander for every input channel and aux output, the FX outputs, and the main outputs. Every channel has a highpass filter. The Fat Channel sports clearly labeled, physical knobs; a multifunction, 16-ladder LED display; an in-your-face Selected Channel display; and a horizontal pan display. It’s easy to access any function and get clear, visible feedback. StudioLive AI-series mixers let you create two sets of EQ and dynamics-processor settings for every channel and bus and make A/B comparisons at the touch of a button. StudioLive AI-series mixers offer four programmable, 32-bit, stereo effects engines

(two reverbs, two delays) on dedicated buses, while StudioLive 16.0.2 has two dedicated buses. All come with 50 reverbs, delays, and time-based effects with easy-to-use parameter adjustment, tap tempo, store, and recall. With AI-series mixers, you get graphic EQ
on every aux bus and on the mains—all at the same time, without compromising other resources. In addition, each graphic EQ has an A/B option. The StudioLive 16.0.2 simply offers a stereo graphic EQ on the main bus. All StudioLive mixers have security permissions that let you lock all or parts of the mixer with a password and manage access from wireless devices.
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE
Using the included Virtual StudioLive-AI bidirectional control and editor/librarian software for Mac and Windows® (VSL for the 16.0.2), you can control almost the entire mixer wirelessly or from a FireWire-connected laptop, quickly and easily load and save named mixer scenes and individual processor and channel presets via drag-and-drop, and visually edit processing. VSL/VSL-AI also integrates Smaart
Measurement Technology™ from Rational Acoustics. Smaart® is a collection of visual audio-measurement tools for sound-system
SL Remote for iPad provides almost complete control over the StudioLive mixer. This Overview screen presents the channel faders, mutes, panning, and four-band parametric EQ (top).
QMix for iPhone/iPod touch enables musicians to control their own monitor mixes. Once you have chosen which channels are “me”—say, your vocal and guitar channels—you can use the Wheel of Me (shown) to control the blend between “me” and the rest of the band.
