This is the PreSonus StudioLive 32S, a 32-channel powerhouse with one-to-one channel control. The StudioLive 32S is a small-format digital mixer with large-format mixing power. Thanks to AVB, it’s easily expandable—readily networking with EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers for customized onstage mixes and PreSonus NSB-series stage boxes for remote inputs.

The 32S has 16 FlexMixes which can be individually configured to function as AUX buses, subgroups or matrix mixes allowing you to customize your mixer any way you wish. The Fat Channel processing section employs expandable plug-in options with vintage EQ and classic compression options on every input channel and output bus.

The 32S also ships with PreSonus Capture recording software, which can be run directly on your mixer or Windows or macOS computer. Record all 32 channels, plus a stereo mix of your choosing, via USB, to an SD Card or both for the ultimate redundant live recording rig.

Few designs in high-tech musical equipment manufacture have had as enduring a presence as PreSonus’ StudioLive mixers. Since their introduction in 2009 with a FireWire interface built-in along with a rich bundled software suite, every new iteration of its design is anticipated and thus far, universally praised. This version got the industry’s attention, and it should have yours, too.

The 32-channel StudioLive 32S delivers a complete hands-on mix experience for users who want one-to-one control for every input on the same bank. Powered by the dual-core PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine, the StudioLive 32S is loaded with 40 mixing channels, 26 buses and 286 individual processors. Unique features include: unmatched 128-channel (64x64) USB recording; onboard multitrack SD Card recording with true virtual soundcheck; expandable Fat Channel plug-ins with studio-quality, vintage-style EQ and compression options on every channel and mix; password-protected user profiles for restricting access; 16 FlexMixes individually configurable as AUX, Subgroup or Matrix mixes, along with 24 DCA groups; 33 touch-sensitive, motorized faders; and a comprehensive software package, including PreSonus’ Studio One Artist DAW and Capture live-recording software.
