The Presonus StudioLive 24.4.2 is a powerful and flexible 24-channel digital mixer for live performance and recording, boasting 24 high-headroom XMAX microphone preamps, a built-in 32x26 FireWire recording and playback engine, comprehensive Fat Channel processing and more. Its award-winning FireWire technology with JetPLL synchronization delivers 32 channels of recording and 26 channels of simultaneous playback. Each FireWire recording channel can be set to record either pre or post Fat-Channel signal processing for total flexibility and power. It can also return 26 FireWire playback channels from your recording and production software for remixing and live performance with pre-recorded tracks, as well as studio mixdowns using the mixer's internal signal processing and mix busses.
For live sound production StudioLive gives you compressors, limiters, gates and high pass filters on every channel and subgroup, two stereo reverb/delays, two 31-band equalizers, two master stereo limiters and more. All its digital effects are created and processed with 32-bit floating point precision for maximum sonic performance and enhanced musicality. StudioLive also comes with Capture multi-track recording software for instant setup and recording of performances. And its HDR software gives you full editing capability as well as export to wav file formats for compatibility with most recording and music production software. Or you can play back your recorded tracks into StudioLive via FireWire to mix and then record the final mix back to Capture.
Smaart Measurement Technology: Presonus has begun to incorporate Rational Acoustics' highly regarded Smaart Measurement Technology directly into our Virtual StudioLive remote-control/editor/librarian software for StudioLive™ mixers.
The first module from Smaart Measurement Technology to be implemented is Smaart Spectra™, which is part of PreSonus Universal Control 1.6 and later. (Download Universal Control free from the Technical Support section of the PreSonus Web site.) Now you can really put StudioLive's graphic EQ to work improving the sound of your P.A. Precisely identify nasty feedback frequencies.
Get your loudspeakers to play nicer with the room they're in — all without having a degree in acoustical engineering. VSL’s Smaart implementation is accessible and intuitive, so that inexperienced users can make basic adjustments to the system, and experienced users can adjust the system quickly and precisely.
StudioLive is compatible with most Mac and Windows recording and production software.
