PreSonus StudioLive 32SC 32-channel Rackmountable Digital Mixer
A 40-channel powerhouse packed inside a portable, rack-mountable frame, the StudioLive 32SC is a compact digital mixer that can compete with its bigger brothers, particularly when you consider its price. Thanks to AVB, it’s easily expandable – readily networking with EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers for customized onstage mixes and PreSonus NSB-series stage boxes for additional inputs. The StudioLive 32SC’s 16 FlexMixes can be individually configured to function as aux buses, subgroups, or matrix mixes – your routing options will border on limitless. The Fat Channel processing section employs expandable, plug-in options with vintage-style EQ and classic compression options on every input channel and output bus.
The StudioLive 32SC also ships with PreSonus Capture® recording software, which can be run directly on your mixer or Windows or Mac computer. Record all 32 channels plus a stereo mix of your choosing via USB, to an SD Card, or both for the ultimate redundant live recording rig.
Superior sound
In 1995, PreSonus patented digital control over analog circuits with our first studio product. Building on this legacy, we created a separate digital volume-control circuit ahead of our lauded analog XMAX mic preamp design, providing the convenience of digital recall without sacrificing fidelity.
The FlexMix difference.
Highly configurable, the StudioLive 32SC provides 16 FlexMixes that can be used as aux buses, subgroups, or matrix mixes. Four dedicated effects buses and four additional subgroups provide a total of 24 mix buses plus an independent solo bus and the main mix. You also get 24 DCAs to control groups of channels easily.
One-click recording
The StudioLive 32SC is tightly integrated with PreSonus® Capture® live-recording software. Capture is designed to make recording easy by instantly configuring with your mixer and allowing you to record every channel plus the main mix with a single mouse click. Even better, your Capture sessions open natively in Studio One!
