PreSonus StudioLive Series III 24R Digital Rack Mixer
The PreSonus StudioLive 24R is a compact 40-channel digital mixer delivering powerful, flexible mixing. Use it standalone with Universal Control software, as a stage box with StudioLive Series III consoles, or with EarMix 16M personal mixers. It’s also a 128-channel (64x64) bidirectional USB audio interface with vintage-modeled dynamics and EQ plug-ins on every input and bus.
With 16 FlexMixes configurable as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, plus four effects buses and four subgroups, routing adapts to any workflow. 24 DCAs provide fast, flexible group control. Powered by the single-core PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine, it offers 40 mixing channels, 22 buses, and 270 processors including Fat Channel plug-ins.
The USB interface enables easy multitrack recording and plug-in routing, with playback streams activated instantly by one button for effortless monitoring. Digitally recallable preamps and vintage-modeled EQ and compression run natively and inside 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.
