PreSonus 16-channel Series III StudioLive 16R is both a versatile AVB stage box for StudioLive Series III consoles and the most powerful rack mixer in its class. It can operate as a simple stage box or as a combined stage box/monitor mixer, including remote control of the preamps and phantom power from the Series III console. As with Series III consoles, its fully recallable and features a plug-in-style signal-processing workflow with vintage-style EQ and compression options on every channel; 6 FlexMixes that can be Aux, Subgroup, or Matrix mixes; 6-band fully parametric EQ on all mix outputs; and built-in AVB networking. In addition to 18×18 USB and 32×32 AVB recording interfaces, the StudioLive 16R features an onboard stereo SD recorder.When we say the StudioLive Series III stage boxes and rack mixers are by far the most powerful rackmount digital mixers in their class, thats no idle claim. The result of ten years of R&D, third-generation StudioLive Series III rack mixers are fully recallable, including remote-controlled XMAX preamps. Yet despite their extensive features, StudioLive Series III rack mixers actually improve upon PreSonus legendary ease of use while letting you customize their workflow and operations in software to fit the way you work. The coveted StudioLive sound is better than ever, including third-generation Fat Channel processing, re-engineered from the ground up, and vintage-style EQs and compressors. Add built-in AVB networking, multitrack recording via USB 2.0 and AVB, onboard stereo recording to SD Card, and a complete suite of software, and you have a mixing and recording powerhouse thats equally formidable as a stage box/monitor mixer, as a rackmount front-of-house mixer controlled from a touchscreen computer or tablet, and as the heart of your studio.Main Features:16-channel AVB stage box for StudioLive Series III consolesSimple stage box modeStage box + monitor mixer mode with control of preamps and phantom power from StudioLive Series III consoleFully recallable, 16-channel, Series III digital rack mixer18 total inputs16 locking combo mic/line channel inputs with recallable XMAX Class A mic preamps2 RCA line-level channel inputs (Ch. 16-1715-16)6 TRS FlexMix outputs2 XLR main outputs (left/right)Scene management with Scene Safe6 FlexMixes (Aux mixes, Subgroups, or Matrix mixes)2 internal effects buses (combination of reverbs and delays with modern and vintage options)Fat Channel processing with vintage EQ and Compressor modes available on every channel and A/B compare18x18 USB 2.0 recording interface and 32×32 AVB recording interfaceOnboard stereo recording to SD cardComplete solution: Includes UC Surface touch-control software for Mac, Windows, iPad, and Android; Capture live-recording software and Studio One Artist DAW for Mac and Windows; compatible with free QMix-UC personal monitoring control for iPhone/iPod touch, and Android
