PRESONUS AUDIO ELECTRONICS, INC.
The PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI’s inviting, analog-like mixing surface provides quick access to all core mixing functions, including levels, routing, and signal processing. The 32-channel model also has mute groups and convenient Quick Scenes, which are not available on the smaller models.
VSL/VSL-AI presents a visual representation of the StudioLive AI-series mixer. Quickly and easily load and save named mixer scenes via drag- and-drop, visually edit signal processing, use the integrated Smaart audio-analysis features, and much more.
analysis and optimization that makes tuning the system, squelching feedback, and more easy. It includes a spectrograph and real-time analyser that make fine-tuning your mix easy because you can see what you’re hearing. These features work with all StudioLives. In addition, VSL-AI includes three Smaart
System Check Wizards and a pink-noise generator with which StudioLive AI mixer users can view the frequency-response trace of a venue and adjust the parametric EQs to get rid of unwanted room anomalies; verify that StudioLive AI system outputs are routed correctly and are passing signal; and calculate and set delay-system timing for satellite speaker systems using the mixer’s subgroup-output delays. (The Wizards are not compatible with the StudioLive 16.0.2.)

GO REMOTE
With most mixers, it’s risky to leave front-of- house to check the monitors and listen to the system in various parts of the room. But with free SL Remote-AI for iPad®, you can control any StudioLive AI-series mixer from anywhere in a venue, using a wireless router. You also can control Smaart and the System Check Wizards. (With StudioLive 16.0.2, SL Remote controls VSL, which controls the FireWire-connected mixer.) You can even control VSL-AI, and hence,
the mixer, over the Internet, using third-party VPN software. Contractors can create and load scenes and presets for clients and can, to a large extent, troubleshoot a StudioLive system from a remote office.
GIVE THEM THE ROPE Increasingly, musicians want to create their own

monitor mixes, but most personal monitor systems are expensive and require wiring. With free PreSonus QMix™-AI software (QMix for StudioLive 16.0.2), musicians can wirelessly control their StudioLive AI monitor (aux) mixes using an iPhone® or iPod touch®. Up to ten iPhones running QMix-AI can
control the StudioLive AI via a wireless network. (With StudioLive 16.0.2, QMix controls the auxes in VSL, which controls the FireWire-connected mixer.) Portrait view presents the Wheel of Me, which lets you select multiple ‘Me’ channels and turn them all up in your monitor at the same time, while controlling the relative balance between ‘Me’ and the rest of the band. Landscape view provides control of the aux-mix send level and panning (for linked auxes) for each channel and aux. Here, you set up your monitor mix. Using the mixer’s security features, you can let each musician create a personal monitor mix—or restrict them to the Wheel of Me while you create their mix. StudioLive AI applications communicate with each other and with the mixer. Save and load scenes with Capture™ 2.1 and share presets between the Fat Channel plug-in in Studio One 2.6 and VSL-AI. Channel names entered in the mixer or any AI app (including Capture) are broadcast throughout the network. When recording with Capture 2.1, you can
save the StudioLive AI mixer scene along with the Capture Session. Studio One 2.6 can import Capture Sessions seamlessly, and when you import a Capture Session that includes a StudioLive AI mixer scene, the Studio One mixer is set to match your StudioLive AI mix scene, including fader values, mutes, pan, and FX send mixes. Fat Channel settings are loaded into Studio One’s new Fat Channel Native Effects™ plug-in. You can listen to your mix on your laptop, just as it sounded during the gig, even if the StudioLive AI mixer is packed and
on its way to the next gig. SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER!
Ease of use, remote control, integrated software, and generous amounts of signal processing are very important but the bottom line for audio equipment is still the sound. The StudioLive’s outstanding sound quality, with Class A XMAX™ preamps and Burr-Brown converters with 118 dB dynamic range, makes it suitable for studio use, yet its feature set and layout fully support live applications. You can easily save and recall full mixer scenes and presets. This combination of analogue-like design;
fast workflow; high-definition audio; integrated recording, computer control, and wireless control; and Smaart analysis sets PreSonus StudioLive mixers apart. And it does so at an amazingly low price.
