Now include a full perpetual license for Studio One Professional V7.
With the StudioLive® 32SC, PreSonus® delivers a compact, tour-friendly, rack-mountable digital mixer that can be quickly and easily scaled for 16-, 24-, and 32-channel applications with flexible routing options, AVB networking, and SD Card recording.
A 32-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 customised onstage mixes and PreSonus NSB-series stage boxes for additional inputs. The 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 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.
