StudioLive 16CH Rackmount Digital Stagebox/Mixer

The StudioLive 16R Series III rack mixer is a perfect partner for a StudioLive Series III console/recorder, serving as either a simple stage box or a combination stage box and monitor mixer. Since Series III rack mixers and consoles can network using AVB, you can connect your StudioLive 16R to a Series III front of house console with one lightweight CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a heavy, expensive copper snake and the signal degradation that goes with long analog cable runs. You can even remote control the StudioLive 16R’s preamps and phantom power from a networked Series III console.

In stage box + monitor mixer mode, the StudioLive 16R not only serves as an excellent networked stage box, it is a full blown monitor mixer with far more processing and mixing power than any mixer in its class all packed into just one rackspace (1U).

The result of ten years of R&D, third-generation StudioLive Series III rack mixers are fully recallable, including remote controlled XMAX preamps. Yet despite their extensive features, StudioLive Series III rack mixers actually improve upon PreSonus®’ legendary ease of use while letting you customize their workflow and operations in software to fit the way your clients work.

The StudioLive sound is better than ever, including third-generation Fat Channel processing, re engineered from the ground up, and vintage style EQs and compressors. Add built in AVB networking, multitrack recording via USB 2.0 and AVB, onboard stereo recording to SD Card, and a complete suite of software, and you have a mixing and recording powerhouse that’s equally formidable as a stage box/monitor mixer; as a rackmount front of house mixer, controlled from a touchscreen computer or tablet; and as the heart of a recording system.
