PreSonus StudioLive Series III 32R Digital Rack Mixer
PreSonus StudioLive Series III 32R Digital Rack Mixer
The PreSonus StudioLive 32R is a 40-channel digital mixer in two rackspaces. Use it standalone with Universal Control software, pair it with StudioLive Series III consoles as a stage box or monitor mixer, or connect with EarMix 16M personal mixers. Plug into your studio computer for a bidirectional 128-channel (64x64) USB audio interface with vintage-modeled dynamics and EQ plug-ins on every input and bus.
Set up 16 FlexMixes as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes. Four effects buses add reverb and delay without affecting monitors; four subgroups simplify processing; 24 DCAs keep group control fast and flexible.
Powered by the PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine, it offers 40 mixing channels, 22 mix buses, 270 processors, and Fat Channel plug-ins on all channels and buses. Control mixes via wireless router on iPad, Android, or Windows Touch with Universal Control.
The 64x64 USB interface enables effortless multitrack recording and instant playback with one button—no routing needed.
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.
