With 12 XMAX microphone preamps, 16 total inputs (including 4 stereo channels), and extensive built-in signal processing, the 16.0.2 USB provides exceptional performance for live sound and studio recording. The mixer features an 18x16 USB 2.0 audio interface that allows for recording all channels and the main mix, making it ideal for capturing live performances or multi-track recording in a compact and affordable package. The StudioLive 16.0.2 USB provides a high level of control, flexibility, and audio quality at an accessible price point, making it the perfect solution for users who need professional sound in a budget-friendly mixer.

One of the standout features of the StudioLive 16.0.2 USB is the inclusion of PreSonus' XMAX mic preamps on 12 of the 16 channels. These digitally controlled preamps offer exceptional sound clarity and headroom, ensuring professional-grade audio capture. Additionally, the mixer's comprehensive channel processing includes 3-band semi-parametric EQ, compressors, limiters, and downward expanders on all channels and buses. The 31-band graphic EQ on the main bus ensures precise tone shaping, while the 4 aux buses and 2 internal FX buses offer flexible routing options for sending audio to monitors and external effects processors.

The built-in USB 2.0 interface supports 18 input channels and 16 outputs, with 24-bit/44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates. It seamlessly integrates with Studio One Artist DAW for advanced recording and mixing, while the included Capture live-recording software makes it easy to record multi-track performances. Control over the mixer is possible via PreSonus' UC Surface control software, which allows remote control from a Mac, Windows, or iPad. Additionally, the QMix-UC app provides wireless aux control for musicians, giving them personalized monitor mixes at their fingertips.
