Presonus StudioLive RM32 AI

32-channel, 25-bus, rack-mount Active Integration digital mixer from Studio Live RMseries that is a versatile and flexible solution for live sound and recording and can be equally used in houses of worship, schools, broadcast facilities, live venues, touring rigs, and recording studios. This model provides 32 mic inputs and 16 mix outputs and mounts in four rack spaces. It is expandable up to 64 channels, flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, and boasts an integrated multi-track recording interface, advanced AVB or Dante networking, and multiple control options. Thanks to PreSonus Active Integration, the mixer can be controlled in multiple ways simultaneously so user can customize the system to suit his needs and workflow: over a wired or wireless network using an array of integrated software for Mac, Windows, and iPad; or by adding physical control with PreSonus’ StudioLive CS18AI Ethernet/AVB control surface, which features high-quality, touch-sensitive, motorized faders and far more mixer-control features. The mixer is tightly integrated with an entire suite of state-of-the-art software. It allows user to mix wirelessly or over a wired network from anywhere using UC Surface touch-control software for Mac, Windows, and iPad. Musicians can control their monitor mixes onstage with QMix-AI for iPhone/iPod touch. Completely automate virtual soundchecks and record shows at up to 96 kHz with Capture. The system can be tuned to the room and user can watch for problems in the mix with UC Surface’s integrated Smaart wizards, RTA, and spectrograph. The built-in 54x34 multi-track recording interface is also tightly integrated with the rest of the mixer. All 32 channels and user’s choice of buses continuously stream to your FireWire- or Dante-connected Mac or PC. Each channel can independently access its analogue input or its dedicated digital return from the computer. And with this mixer, recording is simple and easy: just launch the included, preconfigured Capture software for one-click recording of all channel inputs and the main mix. Or record with the included Studio One Artist DAW – or any recording software that supports ASIO or Core Audio. The mixer further provides more DSP power than any other mixer in its class. The unique Fat Channel provides a compressor, limiter, expander/gate, and parametric EQ on every channel and bus; a high-pass filter on each channel; a library of professionally crafted, useful presets; and the ability to save, selectively recall, and A/B-compare processor settings. It also offers four effects processors – two reverbs and two delays – each with their own dedicated mix bus; 15 dedicated 31-band graphic EQs; and 500 ms of delay available on the last four mix outputs. This mixer also allows user to create a large-format console on a small-format budget, by connection two of the models or other models via AVB to create up to a 64-channel mixing system. They can be rack-mounted together, placed on each side of the stage, or put onstage as well as at front-of-house. All 64 channels can be recorded with free Capture software with one single-window control of all channels using UC Surface control software. The mixer operates at up to 96 kHz for high-definition mixing and recording. It uses the same high-quality 64-bit summing engine found in the Presonus’ Studio One DAW, which consistently receives rave reviews for sound quality. High-quality Burr-Brown converters on every input and output provide a best-in-class 118 dB of dynamic range so every high and low can be caught with great accuracy and no audible distortion. And the recallable XMAX microphone preamps deliver incredibly high headroom, deep lows, smooth highs, and a rich overall sound. The front of the mixer provides a straightforward jack-field with XLR channel inputs, XLR mix outputs, and other important connections. Every channel has a locking XLR mic input on the front panel. Every aux mix has a dedicated XLR Mix Output on the front panel, mirrored in a pair of DB25 connectors (Mix Outputs 1-8 and 9-16) on the rear. Dimensions: 177.8 x 482.6 x 266.7 mm, 4U rack-mountable. Weight: 9.98 kg.
