The new PreSonus StudioLive 64S is designed to bring the power of a large production console to small-format digital mixing, with 76 mixing channels, 43 buses, and 526 simultaneous effects in the all new quad-core Flex DSP engine. It features 32 individually configurable FlexMixes to allow a combination of aux mixes, matrix mixes, and subgroups. StudioLive 64S mixers feature an independent main Mono/Center bus; each channel has a dedicated level control and a Center Divergence control that allow control of the pan placement in an LCR mix.
The StudioLive 64S is the flagship mixer of the new StudioLive Series III S line of four new mixers designed for live sound production, touring, high channel count performances, installed sound, mobile, and studio applications. Powered by the PreSonus Flex DSP Engine, they feature state-space modeled Fat Channel plug-in processing on every input and bus; up to 32 FlexMix buses that can be individually configured as Aux, Matrix, or Subgroup buses; and flexible digital patching. All models deliver 128-channel (64x64) USB recording, plus multitrack SD recording and extensive 128-channel AVB networking.
The StudioLive 32S, 32SX, and 32SC each offer 40 mixing channels, 26 buses, and 286 processors in three form factors. The StudioLive 32S provides 32 local preamps in a 33-fader frame for one-to-one mix control. The 32SX delivers the same complement of local I/O as the 32S but in a 25-fader, low-profile, space-saving frame. The 32SC squeezes its 32-channel mixing and processing power into a rack-mountable, road-ready frame with 16 local preamps and 17 faders that can be expanded to a full 32 channels by adding a single NSB 16.8 stage box.
Like earlier StudioLive Series III models, the new digital consoles provide AVB networking to connect with any of the PreSonus AVB ecosystem of products to create a system that is customized. PreSonus NSB-series stage boxes add remote analog inputs and outputs wherever required, up to 32 EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers to give musicians their own customizable 16-channel monitor mix, and network multiple StudioLive Series III mixers to share inputs and buses. Audio routing to and from the network is simplified by the flexibility of digital patching available onboard the mixers and in UC Surface.
All StudioLive Series III S models provide 128 simultaneous channels (64x64) over USB, along with the new Capture 3.0, offer 64 channels of live recording and playback. An onboard 34-track SD recorder provides flexible mobile and redundant recording options. And the seamless integration with Studio One and Capture recording applications means you can effortlessly move from an automated Virtual Soundcheck before the gig to the final mastered studio mix of the performance.
StudioLive Series III S digital mixers introduce password-protected User Profiles that make the mixers a solution for installed applications with user-specific permissions. Limit access to channel processing, GEQs, preamp settings, and more. Users may also set a limit to how much the level can be turned up on the mixes. New Project and Scene management allows users to store multiple mix scenes with the same global routing setup in a single project. These features will are also available to original Series III mixers in the version 2.0 firmware update.
The new StudioLive Series III S consoles are integrated with a suite of state-of-the-art software. In addition to recording with the included Capture and Studio One Artist, users can mix wirelessly using free UC Surface touch-control software for Mac, Windows, iPad and Android. Control monitor mixes with free QMix-UC for iPhone, iPod touch, and Android devices.
