PreSonus® is now shipping its StudioLive® AR USB-series hybrid mixers.
Lightweight, versatile, and feature-rich, they are musician’s mixers, packed with
analogue connections and digital tools for live performance and studio use. The
series includes three models: the 18-channel StudioLive AR16 USB, 14-channel
StudioLive AR12 USB, and 8-channel StudioLive AR8 USB.
The perfect companion for the recording musician, StudioLive AR USB mixers are
equipped with a Mac- and Windows-compatible, 24-bit, 96 kHz, USB 2.0 audio
interface that can capture all input channels and the main mix. Like every PreSonus
mixer, StudioLive AR USB mixers are bundled with everything you need to record,
mix, and distribute your music. Create multitrack recordings with one click in
PreSonus’ Capture™ live-recording software, then mix, edit, and distribute from
award-winning Studio One® 3 Artist DAW production software; both are included
free.
Need to capture a quick two-track mix for rehearsal? Don’t want to bring your
laptop to the gig? No problem: Every StudioLive AR USB mixer comes equipped with
an on-board stereo SD recorder that lets you record the main mix without a
computer—just hit Record and go. You can also use the SD recorder to play up to 32
GB of MP3 and WAV files for hours of program music or backing tracks without
needing a computer.
StudioLive AR USB mixers also feature the unique PreSonus Super Channel, which
allows you to play audio from four stereo sources simultaneously. Plug a media
player into the Super Channel’s unbalanced RCA inputs. Connect your tablet to the
1/8-inch stereo input. Play stereo audio from the on-board SD recorder or from
your USB-connected Mac or Windows PC. Use on-board Bluetooth 4.1 to pair your
phone to your StudioLive AR USB mixer and instantly have wireless access to your
music library for break music, backing tracks, or ear-training. Have a song you
want the rest of the band to learn? Pair your phone and start rehearsing! The Super
Channel allows you to play back audio from four stereo sources at one time.
Compact and road-ready, StudioLive AR USB mixers are packed with the
connections and features needed to mix and record live, in the studio, and in
rehearsal, including Class A mic preamps; instrument and line inputs; semi-
parametric 3-band EQ; and an internal stereo effects processor, providing a
superior all-in-one solution for mixing and recording your performances. All models
are available immediately. U.S. MAP/street prices are: StudioLive AR16 USB
