The PreSonus StudioLive 32SX is a 32-channel digital mixer designed to offer professional-grade mixing, recording, and audio processing in a compact, rack-mountable chassis. The StudioLive 32SX takes full advantage of its cutting-edge hybrid design, which integrates the warmth of analog preamps with the precision of digital processing. It features 32 input channels, including 12 high-gain XMAX microphone preamps, and provides advanced capabilities with 25 motorized faders and comprehensive routing options, making it an ideal choice for professional live sound, studio recording, and content creation environments.

Equipped with 64x64 USB audio interfacing, the StudioLive 32SX supports high-quality audio recording and playback with 24-bit/96 kHz resolution, making it one of the most advanced mixers in its class. With 25 motorized, touch-sensitive faders and a dual-fader layer system, the 32SX delivers unparalleled control for both live performances and studio sessions. The mixer's 16 FlexMixes can be configured as aux buses, subgroups, or matrix mixes, giving you tremendous flexibility for different production needs. Whether you're mixing live shows, recording studio sessions, or creating content, the StudioLive 32SX's hybrid features will meet the demands of the most complex audio workflows.

The studio-grade Fat Channel processing section provides premium effects and dynamics control, offering a vintage-style EQ and classic compression on every input channel and output bus. In addition, the onboard quad-core FLEX DSP engine enables real-time processing, handling up to 286 simultaneous processors with ease. The 32SX's integration with PreSonus Capture recording software and Studio One Pro+ for Mac and Windows makes it easy to record all 32 channels plus a stereo mix via USB, SD card, or both. The 128-channel SD Card recorder offers redundancy with live recordings, while the system's 1.9 ms total latency ensures tight synchronization between the analog inputs and digital outputs.

The StudioLive 32SX is designed with AVB audio networking capability, enabling easy connectivity with other PreSonus mixers, stage boxes, and personal monitor mixers for large-scale setups. With the ability to connect seamlessly to other PreSonus devices via Ethernet, this mixer is highly expandable, providing full integration for complex stage setups or installations. Whether you need to manage large shows with multiple channels or produce high-fidelity audio content for your next project, the StudioLive 32SX delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, portable format.
