PreSonus StudioLive 32R - 32-Channel Digital Rackmount Mixer with 64x64 USB Audio Interface and 31-Band Graphic EQ in Black Finish

The PreSonus StudioLive 32R is a 32-channel digital rackmount mixer that brings professional-level audio processing and recording to a compact, rack-friendly design. Offering the flexibility of four audio tools in two rack spaces, the StudioLive 32R is an exceptional tool for live sound, recording, and monitoring systems. Its ability to operate as a standalone mixer or integrate into a larger setup with other StudioLive Series III devices makes it ideal for both small-scale and large-scale productions.

Inside the StudioLive 32R, the PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine powers up to 40 mixing channels, 22 mix buses, and 270 simultaneous processors. This processing power includes everything from high-pass filters and compressors to four-band/ six-band parametric EQs and limiters. The inclusion of 4 FLEX FX slots enables the addition of legendary reverb emulations and delays, ensuring every mix sounds polished and professional. The unit's 31-band graphic EQ provides even more detailed control over the mix, especially for the main bus or any output bus.

With 32 local, digitally controlled XMAX mic/line inputs, the StudioLive 32R is equipped to handle a wide variety of sound sources. The unit includes six FlexMix outputs, which are flexible enough to be configured as aux, subgroup, or matrix buses, depending on the needs of the performance. Additionally, it features 286 simultaneous processors to handle every element of the mix with the highest quality audio processing, while the Fat Channel plug-ins provide dynamic control over every input channel and output bus. A key feature is the flexibility it offers through AVB networking, allowing easy connectivity with other StudioLive Series III mixers, NSB-series stage boxes, and EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers for large setups or personal monitoring systems.

The StudioLive 32R excels in recording capabilities, featuring a 128-channel USB interface (64x64), allowing users to record multitrack audio with digitally recallable analog preamps. The onboard SD recorder is also a notable feature, providing a streamlined solution for recording a stereo mix, with true Virtual Soundcheck mode for seamless integration into soundcheck processes. With full 32-bit floating point internal processing and a 24-bit/48kHz sample rate, the StudioLive 32R is capable of pristine sound quality and extremely low latency, making it ideal for live performances, studio environments, and broadcast setups.

Remote control over the StudioLive 32R is seamless through UC Surface software, which allows sound engineers to manage every mix parameter from an iPad, Android tablet, or Windows touch computer. The integration with QMix-UC puts the power of personal monitoring directly into the musicians' hands via their mobile devices. With compatibility with Capture 3.0 software and the inclusion of Studio One integration, the StudioLive 32R provides an all-in-one solution for both live sound mixing and multitrack recording, making it a must-have for any professional production.
