PreSonus StudioLive 32S - 32-Channel Digital Console Mixer with 64x64 USB Interface and 32 Motorized Faders in Black Finish

The PreSonus StudioLive 32S is a powerful 32-channel digital mixer designed for modern live sound, recording, and content creation. With its 64x64 USB interface and 32 motorized faders, it offers extensive control over your mix and delivers high-quality audio processing. The 32S features a versatile, compact form factor that delivers large-format mixing power while maintaining flexibility, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of audio production environments, from concerts and events to studio recording and broadcasting.

With 32 input channels and 16 FlexMixes, the StudioLive 32S provides an incredible range of options for routing audio. FlexMixes can be individually configured to function as aux buses, subgroups, or matrix mixes, giving users an almost unlimited variety of configurations for complex productions. The mixer's 32 motorized faders ensure that you always have precise control over your channels, while the split-fader workflow options allow you to manage 32 channels in two fader layers. This unique design enhances the user experience, providing easy access to both input channels and output mixes, even with complex setups.

The 32S utilizes the advanced Fat Channel processing section, which includes vintage-style EQ, dynamics, and classic compression options for every input channel and output bus. Powered by PreSonus' powerful FLEX DSP Engine, this mixer provides real-time processing with up to 286 simultaneous processes, all designed to enhance the sound quality of your recordings and performances. Whether you are mixing a live show or recording in the studio, the Fat Channel's plug-in options allow you to expand your processing options and achieve professional-grade results.

Beyond mixing and processing, the StudioLive 32S also offers comprehensive recording and playback capabilities. With its built-in 64x64 USB interface, you can record all 32 channels plus a stereo mix directly to your computer or SD card, ensuring redundancy and reliability during live performances. The onboard Capture software allows for seamless recording, and the integration with Studio One Pro+ for Mac and Windows offers a complete recording solution with powerful editing and mixing tools. Additionally, the 1.9 ms total system latency ensures tight synchronization between inputs and outputs for a responsive experience, whether you're recording, mixing live, or streaming content.

As a truly expandable system, the StudioLive 32S is equipped with AVB networking, allowing it to easily integrate with other PreSonus devices, such as NSB-series stage boxes and EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers, to create a comprehensive and customizable setup for any application. Whether you need to manage multiple monitor mixes onstage or create a complex, multi-location recording setup, the StudioLive 32S provides all the connectivity and routing flexibility you need.
