collapse expand iconDescription

This is the PreSonus StudioLive 32SC, a 32-channel powerhouse packed inside a portable, rackmountable frame. The StudioLive 32SC is a compact digital mixer that can compete with its bigger brothers, particularly when you consider its price. And, thanks to AVB, it’s easily expandable. You can network the 32SC with EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers for customized onstage mixes and PreSonus NSB-series stage boxes for additional inputs.

The 32SC’s 16 FlexMixes can be individually configured to function as AUX buses, subgroups or matrix mixer; your routing options will border on limitless. The Fat Channel processing section employs expandable, plug-in options with vintage-style EQ and classic compression options on every input channel and output bus.

The 32SC 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 32-channel StudioLive 32SC packs large-format digital mixer power into the smallest compact chassis possible. Pound for pound, it’s the best digital mixer available for building your dream studio or putting together a pro touring rig for your band. Powered by the dual-core PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine, The StudioLive 32SC 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 EQ and classic compression options on every channel and mix; 16 FlexMixes individually configurable as AUX, Subgroup or Matrix mixes; 17 touch-sensitive, motorized faders; and a comprehensive software package, including PreSonus’ Studio One Artist DAW and Capture live-recording software.

    This is my second mixer, first being a digi002. I really like it so far. Not too happy about how it interfaces with pro tools, but Studio One it works amazingly. Still lots to learn on it. Can't wait to become a power user on this.

  • Love this board so much.

  • GC claims mixer has 32 combo inputs which is false

    the chat operator called me a liar for saying this mixer only has 8 combo inputs and 8 xlr inputs. the specs say it has 32 xlr/trs combo inputs. far from. It also claims to send 64/64 tracks over USB 2.0, which is absurd if only for the fact its only a 32 track interface. the chat agent says there are 32 inputs on the back and that is not true. he was rude and would not admit he was either wrong or doesn't know what he is talking about. Complete false advertising by both Presonus and Guitar Center. and the chat guy should be fired for arguing against the truth to a customer.

    Multi Channel refers to how many channels can be "mixed".
