Designed for live sound reinforcement, live recording, and studio recording applications, the PreSonus StudioLive 32SC Series III 32-Channel Digital Mixer Kitis a Series III S 32-channel digital console, recorder, and audio interface in a subcompact, rack-mountable frame. The mixer features an integrated hardware and software system with a full-color touchscreen, 17 touch-sensitive, motorized faders, and 16 recallable XMAX preamps. The powerful dual-core FLEX DSP engine supercharges the mixer with Fat Channel vintage-style EQs and compressors on every channel, plus a four-slot FLEX FX processor that can run heralded digital reverbs and delays. Streamline your workflow with recallable scene presets, virtual sound check, and the supplied software library, which empowers you with remote control from a computer or iPad, remote monitor mixing using a mobile device, and all the software you need to track, edit, mix, and distribute your music.

The StudioLive 32SC boasts eight XLR mic inputs and eight mic/line inputs via XLR-1/4" combo jacks. Additional inputs include four 1/4" aux inputs and a dedicated XLR talkback mic input with phantom power. The mixer provides a balanced XLR mono output, stereo XLR main outputs, 10 analog FlexMix outputs (six XLR, four 1/4" TRS), a pair of 1/4" monitor outputs, and a 1/4" headphone port. A digital AES/EBU output of the main mix is available via a rear-panel XLR socket. Additionally, unbalanced stereo RCA tape inputs and outputs are on hand to hookup a house music source and a separate stereo recorder. Record 32 channels and the main stereo mix to a Class 10 U3 SD card (available separately) via the onboard 34-track SD recorder, or stream 128 channels (64 in each direction) over USB 2.0 to and from your computer. You can even record redundantly to an SD card and a USB host computer at the same time. Take advantage of the StudioLive 32SC's built-in AVB networking capabilities for flexible system expansion, digital patching between networked devices, and more.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I output the audio using xlr or 1/4" trs to a speaker? I want to use this for DJ but not sure if it will work or not

A: You can connect the main outputs of this unit to active speakers, with a 1/4-inch TRS connection, with a cable such as the Pearstone PM Series 1/4" TRS Male to XLR Female Professional Interconnect Cable (15'), BH #PEPMTRSXF15. The mixer has many features aimed at people maing podcasts, but if you are planning to DJ and stream out to a computer, or to record your set on to an SD card, this would be a good option for you.

Q: 2. Will this unit work with the Blackmagic ATEM to control the audio in the ATEM software?

A: While the ATEM Control Software allows for external affecting of settings by a MIDI device, the PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 USB Performance & Recording Digital Mixer is unable to serve as a MIDI controller. For a simple controller to work with ATEM Control Software, try something like Akai Professional APC mini (BH #AKAPCMINI).

Q: 3. Is this rack mountable?

A: Yes, the PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 Digital Mixer can be rack mounted when used with the PreSonus SL1602 Rack Ear Kit (B&H # PRSL1602RE).

Q: 4. I have always used an Analog Mackie from B and H into a CPU with a Sound card. I am now looking for a Hybrid Mixer for Analog Mixing with Digital Recording. Is this the unit I need? Many thanks!

A: This is a very good, compact digital mixer, but it is not a hybrid. If you would like an analog mixer with digital recording capabilities, I would consider the PreSonus StudioLive AR12 USB 14-Channel Hybrid Performance and Recording Mixer, BH #PRSLMAR12.

Q: 5. Will this cover fit on the PreSonus 32SX?

A: The 32SX is one inch deeper then the 24 may fit but tight.

Q: 6. Can you record isolated tracks on the SD card? Or only via USB on your computer?

A: You can record the isolated tracks directly to an SD card, to a computer, or both simultaneously.

Q: 7. Can the Studiolive S32SC function as a control surface for Ableton Live?

A: The StudioLive Series III consoles can be used in DAW mode as a control surface for other DAWs such as Logic and Pro Tools. Compatibility with Ableton Live is not yet confirmed though a moderator on the PreSonus forum has said that it works for him using MCU.

Q: 8. Can the Studiolive R32 record multiple tracks of audio onto the SD card like the S32 does?

A: No, the built-in recorder on the StudioLive 32R is a stereo recorder, not a multitrack recorder. It can record the main mix or any other stereo mix directly onto an SD card without the need for a computer. However, you can record multiple tracks from the 32R onto your computer via USB or AVB. It is also possible to simultaneously record a stereo track onto an SD card while also recording multiple tracks onto a computer..

Q: 9. Does this work well with Mac Os Catalina?

A: Yes!

Q: 10. The audio recorded on each track is Raw audio (pre faders and or EFX) or is recorded after process? Thanks

A: The recording is pre-fader and pre-effects. It can also be pre-compressor, there is a setting for that. So yes, it is RAW . The other person who answered is wrong.
