The PreSonus StudioLive 24R showcases exceptional versatility, serving as both a rackmount mixer and a stagebox for your StudioLive Series III console. Featuring 24 premium XMAX preamps, a flexible range of I/O options, and extensive routing capabilities, it proves invaluable across a multitude of live applications. Equally adept in studio settings, it boasts integrated 40-in/40-out USB and 55-in/55-out AVB audio interfaces. With onboard stereo SD recording support, capturing instant live recordings becomes effortless. Craft your sound with precision using vintage-style EQ and compression on each channel, complemented by a selection of reverbs and delays. Wireless control via your computer or smart device adds further convenience.
The PreSonus StudioLive 24R offers three efficient methods for multitrack recording. Its built-in SD card recorder enables simple stereo recording. Alternatively, connect to a computer via USB for 40 channels of recording and playback. Additionally, the StudioLive 24R supports AVB over Ethernet, providing 55 channels of recording and playback.
At Sweetwater, we understand the challenges of using the same mixer for various tasks. That's why we're enthusiastic about the 16 Flex Mixes available on the PreSonus StudioLive 24R. Flex Mixes can function as Aux mixes, Subgroups, or Matrix mixes, adapting to the demands of your show. Need numerous monitor mixes for a large group of musicians? Not a problem—create up to 16 aux sends if necessary. Likewise, Subgroups and Matrix mixes are ideal for theater productions and multi-zone venues, respectively. Essentially, the StudioLive 24R's Flex Mixes empower you to tailor your mixer to the task at hand, rather than adjusting your workflow to suit mixer limitations.
The 24 Class A XMAX preamps integrated into the StudioLive 24R deliver studio-grade sound quality. Their exceptional headroom and minimal noise floor ensure remarkably clean and clear audio typically associated with studio consoles. Additionally, mic preamp settings are fully recallable, a significant time-saving feature for consistent mixing or recording of the same band or show.
One of the standout features of the Series III update to the StudioLive mixer line is the robust and flexible remote control capabilities via both wired and Wi-Fi network connections. Engineers will appreciate UC Surface, available for Mac, Windows, and iPad platforms, offering comprehensive access to virtually every aspect of the mix. Supporting up to four screens, UC Surface provides extensive feedback. On the performer's side, the QMix-UC app allows individual control of monitor mixes via iOS and Android devices.
The StudioLive series has long been renowned for its exceptional effects and processing capabilities, and the StudioLive 24R takes this reputation even further. It features four internal effects buses loaded with a variety of reverbs, delays, and other effects, which can be routed through any channel. Additionally, the Fat Channel processing offers vintage EQ and compressor models on every channel.
Your purchase includes Studio One Artist and all the essentials for starting recording via your computer. Moreover, to elevate your recordings, you receive the Studio Magic plug-in suite. This extensive collection includes emulations of classic studio gear from renowned manufacturers, adding substantial value. Enhance your mix bus with the Brainworx bx_opto compressor, introduce ambient reverb with Lexicon MPX-i Reverb, enhance transients with SPL's Attacker Plus, and more.
