The Digital Mixer That Does It All

The PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI is the next-gen 32-channel digital mixer that packs pristine sonics and staggering functionality into an easy-to-use mixer. Take this potent all-in-one machine to the gig and use its built-in effects and the PreSonus-exclusive "Fat Channel" - now with quick A/B comparisons - to manage your sound. With 32 mic pres and line inputs, 14 aux mixes, four internal effects buses with reverb and delay, Quick Scenes, four subgroups, mute groups, a 48x34 FireWire 800 audio interface, and more, the PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI is ready to rock. Are you?



PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI 32-channel Digital Mixer at a Glance:
  • Fat Channel gets you great sound fast
  • Want to record the show? Firewire makes it happen.
  • iPad Wireless Remote Control is convenient both on-stage and in the studio
  • Pristine preamps for stellar recordings

Fat Channel gets you great sound fast
One way the StudioLive 32.4.2AI ups the ante over other digital mixers is with its "Fat Channel" section. This 32-channel StudioLive provides a 4-band, fully parametric EQ, plus a studio-worthy gate with Key Filter and Key Listen. The best part about all of this, though, is that you don't have to dive into mile-long menus to take advantage of all the processing. The PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI has clearly labeled knobs plus a nice multifunction LED display and a separate pan display for getting clear visual feedback whenever you need it.

Want to record the show? Firewire makes it happen.
Just plug the PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI in to any FireWire-equipped computer, and you're good to go. This mixer's 48x34 FireWire S800 audio interface and included Capture software makes dependable live sound recording to your favorite DAW a piece of cake. PreSonus even includes their popular Studio One Artist DAW software for polishing and producing your tracks after you've recorded them.

iPad Wireless Remote Control is convenient both on-stage and in the studio
PreSonus StudioLive mixers feature QMix, which lets you control your mixer's aux sends from up to ten Apple iPhones, iPads, or iPod Touches! You can even let the performers create their own custom monitor mixes from individual iPhones. With the "Wheel of Me," you can choose multiple "Me" channels and tweak their levels simultaneously. All you need is a Mac or PC running PreSonus Virtual StudioLive software.

Pristine preamps for stellar recordings
The Class A XMAX preamps onboard the StudioLive 32.4.2AI sound like they belong in the studio. And that's a fitting quality for the hybrid "StudioLive." With 32 high-headroom preamps at your disposal, you'll be able to run big shows while having channels to spare. Keep in mind too that with 32 great-sounding channels to feed the PA system, you can get a mic on just about everything up onstage - including a stereo room feed - that you can also record at the exact same time via FireWire. The net result is that you'll practically have a sweet-sounding, ready-to-sell live CD right from the get go. Like we said, though, the StudioLive 32.4.2AI comes with Studio One Artist DAW software, so you can perfect the tracks and add in virtual instrument layers - you can even use the same StudioLive to record a studio album from scratch in your basement.

PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI 32-channel Digital Mixer Features:
  • 33 Class A XMAX microphone preamplifiers (32 with individual phantom power)
  • USB wireless LAN included for direct wireless remote control of laptops, iPad, or iPhone/iPod touch
  • Four digital effects processors
  • 48 x 34 digital recording interface with two FireWire S800 (IEEE 1394b) ports
  • Fat Channel with highpass filter, full-featured gate and compressor, limiter, and 4-band parametric EQ
  • An exhaustive software suite to juice your workflow
