Description
The StudioLive® 16R is a versatile 18-channel digital mixer in one rackspace. Use it standalone with Universal Control, pair with StudioLive Series III consoles as a stage box or monitor mixer, or connect with EarMix 16M personal mixers. It features a bidirectional 36-channel (18x18) USB audio interface with vintage-modeled dynamics and EQ plug-ins on every input and bus.
StudioLive offers nearly infinite mix configuration with 10 FlexMixes as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes. Four effects buses add reverb and delay without affecting monitors, and four subgroups simplify processing. With 24 DCAs, group control is fast and flexible.
Powered by the single-core PreSonus® FLEX DSP Engine, it delivers 18 channels, 10 buses, and 130 processors—including Fat Channel plug-ins on every input and bus. Control mixes via wireless router on iPad®, Android™, or Windows® devices.
Recording is effortless with instant playback streams and no extra routing needed. Modeled analog preamps and vintage EQ/dynamics run natively and in Fender Studio Pro®.
A free firmware update adds Milan certification, an improved limiter with variable release, and expanded Digital Reverb XL controls with new presets—offering enhanced power and precision. With this firmware update, you also get the 7 additional State Space Models EQs (10 total) and 8 analog-inspired compressors (11 total) from the Fat Channel Collection installed standard, adding even more processing to create studio-quality mixers for your live session.
