Integrated Virtual Soundcheck Mode

If recording on your computer isn't an options, there's no need to worry: the StudioLive 64S comes complete with PreSonus Capture recording software built in.

This software allows you to record any combination of channels, FlexMixes, and the main stereo mix to USB, an SD card, or both, making the mixer perfect for live recording situations.

Each StudioLive mix scene can be stored with your recordings to speed up Virtual Soundchecks, and you can later open these sessions up on your computer with the included Studio One Artist software.

Superior Sound

Thanks to the integration of a separate digital volume-control circuit with PreSonus's acclaimed analogue XMAX mic preamps, the StudioLive 64s offers the convenience of digital recall without sacrificing fidelity.

This also allows the mic preamps to be remote-controlled with UC Software or Studio One when you load up a StudioLive 64S mixer scene, delivering the performance you want, every time.

Reconfigure Your Mix

As with other digital mixers from the StudioLive Series III, the 64S incoporates the conecpt of an analogue patchbay and ditigises it, allowing you to patch any input return to any channel for a customised mix configuration.

This feature allows you to freely route audio to your AVB network and record any of the inputs on the 64 USB sends, as well as allowing you quickly route to/source from the same.

Fat Channel Plug-Ins

Bring your mix to life on stage or in the studio with critical EQ and Dynamics functions, thanks to the dynamic Fat Channel.

Each and every parameter on every channel and output bus is just a touch away, allowing you to enjoy extensive, studio-style processing.

The StudioLive 64S comes complete with ten Classic Fat Channel plug-in models pre-installed, along with 15 additional vintage-modeled EQs and Compressors with Fat Channel Collection Vol.1 (a library which retails for approx £386), which you get for free!

Three Year Warranty

All StudioLive Series III S mixers now have an upgraded 3-year warranty program, the company takes their build quality so seriously.

If anything goes wrong with your mixer during those three years, simply contact PreSonus and they will happily repair it for you.
