This is the StudioLive 32SX, a 32-channel small-format digital mixer packed into a 25-fader chassis. The split-fader workflow options let you manage 32 input channels in two fader layers, while still providing access to your mix outputs on eight additional faders. And 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 32SX’s 16 FlexMixes can be individually configured to function as AUX buses, subgroups or matrix mixes—your routing options will border on limitless. 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 32SX also ships with PreSonus Capture recording software, which can be run directly on your mixer or Windows or Mac 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. The introduction of the 2019 version got the industry’s attention. It should have yours too.
