The Ease of Analog Meets the Power of Digital

When Presonus designed StudioLive, one of their primary goals was to provide a familiar interface that would keep all critical controls visible and accessible - not buried inside multiple menus. Sit down at a StudioLive 16.4.2, and you see real hardware Mute and Solo buttons, trim controls, and clearly labeled, individual knobs for the semi-parametric EQ and dynamics processing. The master section - complete with Talkback, Monitor, Cue, and a choice of headphone sources - looks just like the master section on an analog board, but with far more power and flexibility. Aux sends have their own controls. Every channel has a big, bright meter display.

Easy to use and flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, StudioLive 16.4.2 delivers the most creative environment possible for both live performance and studio music production. StudioLive is not simply a mixer, it's a rapidly growing family of state-of-the-art, integrated hardware-software mixing and recording systems that deliver the features you need for live sound, live recording, and studio recording.

A Versatile Mixer for the Stage or Studio

The StudioLive 16.4.2 is a great choice for those who want to mix smaller shows and worship services, and it's a great choice for small club systems, portable churches, small bands, corporate applications, educational institutions, and anywhere you want a rack-mount mixer. It's the perfect hardware core for a project studio. Or daisy-chain two StudioLive 16.4.2s to form a 32x4x2 performance and recording console for mid-sized shows and events.

In this one device, you get high-headroom XMAX microphone preamplifiers, a built-in FireWire recording and playback interface, more than 90 signal processors, a huge library of DSP effects, 6 aux buses, 4 subgroups, extensive LED metering, mixer save and recall, channel-strip save/recall/copy/paste, talkback, and more. Yet despite its many controls and features, StudioLive 16.4.2 is compact, rack-mountable, and easy to transport.

Build live mixes that glisten with clarity and detail - then record and enhance the performance with the power of StudioLive 16.4.2. Get creative in the studio. Build mixes, loops, sound effects, and more, then bring them out to your show and mix them with the live performance. Process channels using your favorite plug-ins and completely automate your entire performance. StudioLive 16.4.2 revolutionizes music production, opening endless creative possibilities.
