This 32-channel digital console is designed for portability and ease of use, packed in a rack-mountable frame that allows you to easily take it on the road or install it in a fixed setup.

At the heart of the StudioLive 32SC lies the advanced AVB (Audio Video Bridging) networking capability, which allows for seamless integration with other StudioLive Series III mixers, PreSonus NSB stage boxes, and EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers. This makes it a great option for large-scale productions or events requiring customized onstage mixes. The 16 FlexMixes on the 32SC are incredibly versatile, offering the ability to configure them as aux buses, subgroups, or matrix mixes, providing near-limitless routing options. The Fat Channel processing section includes expandable plug-in options for vintage-style EQ and classic compression on every input channel and output bus, adding professional-level sound processing to your mixes.

The StudioLive 32SC comes with an incredible 64x64 USB interface, one of the most extensive digital mixing interfaces available. You can record up to 64 channels of audio via USB to your preferred DAW, including all the input channels plus the main mix. This flexibility is complemented by a 128-channel (64x64) AVB audio network connection, offering a comprehensive solution for complex live sound applications and recording setups. The built-in multitrack SD Card recorder ensures that you never miss a moment, with the ability to record all channels plus the main mix, making it a fantastic tool for redundancy and virtual soundchecks during live shows or recording sessions.

Onboard, you'll find the FLEX FX multi-effects processor, which includes four slots to load legendary reverb emulations, delays, and other dynamic effects. These effects are all routed through four dedicated effects buses, making it easy to apply effects to any channel or mix. The StudioLive 32SC also includes 17 motorized touch-sensitive faders, allowing you to control your mixes with precision and tactile feedback. These motorized faders provide instant access to any channel or bus, making adjustments during a performance or recording session more intuitive.

The StudioLive 32SC is a complete solution for any professional audio engineer or content creator. It includes PreSonus' Capture live-recording software and Studio One Pro+ software for Mac and Windows, allowing you to capture every moment, mix in real-time, and produce high-quality audio content for various platforms.
