PRESONUS Studiolive 24R 24-Channel Digital Rack Mount Mixer w/24 XMAX Preamps

The StudioLive 24R does two jobs. As a 24-channel AVB stage box, it puts your inputs where the band is and sends them back to a StudioLive Series III console over one network cable, with preamp and phantom power control from the console. As a standalone rack mixer, it is a fully recallable 32-channel Series III digital mixer with 24 mic/line inputs and 8 digital channels, controlled from UC Surface on a Mac, Windows machine, iPad, or Android tablet.

Input count runs to 26: 24 locking combo mic/line channels with recallable XMAX Class A preamps, plus two RCA line-level inputs on channels 23-24. Outputs cover 12 balanced 1/4 in. TRS FlexMix sends and two XLR main outputs. Sixteen FlexMixes can each be set up as an aux mix, subgroup, or matrix mix, alongside four dedicated subgroups and four internal effects buses carrying both modern and vintage reverbs and delays.

Fat Channel processing runs on every channel, with vintage EQ and compressor modes and A/B compare for fast decisions. Scene management with Scene Safe recalls a full show while protecting the settings you want left alone.

Recording happens over a 40x40 USB 2.0 interface, a 55x55 AVB interface, or straight to an SD card in stereo, so a live set becomes a multitrack session or a quick reference mix. Capture live-recording software and Studio One Artist are included for Mac and Windows, and QMix-UC gives performers control of their own monitor mixes from a phone.
