Take PreSonus' undying passion for sonic excellence, and combine it with their class-leading expertise in mixer design. What do you get? The PreSonus StudioLive 24 Series III. Boasting 32 channels of phenomenal flexibility and precision, this digital mixer is the ultimate solution for the stage, studio, and more.

And if you need more?

There's a whole ecosystem of AVB networking components that let you built a powerful system around you. PreSonus' NSB-series stage boxes are just one example. They can give you those extra analog inputs, and place them wherever you need them, rounding out the input count of your mixer.

And if you need a monitoring solution? The EarMix 16M lets you create custom 16-channel monitor mixes, ready to work seamlessly with your StudioLive mixer. You can even network multiple Series III mixers together with versatile routing options, giving you ever-expanding flexibility no matter where you are.

But what about the sound?

Sound is the reason you're looking at mixers in the first place. And luckily, PreSonus know a thing or two about sound... After all, they've been creating innovative sonic solutions for over two decades.

Loaded with their revered XMAX mic preamps, this is a mixer that was built to perform. These Class A preamps are the perfect companion for the stage and studio, providing you with high headroom, low noise, a wide dynamic range, and an extended frequency response. With their musical and transparent characteristics, you can capture every detail of your sound without any crossover distortion or colouration.

Record the way you deserve to

Because with the StudioLive 24 Series III, it's easier than ever. Experience PreSonus Capture. An intuitive solution that lets you get the most out of your StudioLive mixer no matter what you plan to record. This application can run directly on the StudioLive 24 itself, or you can use your Mac or Windows PC via USB. The mixer doubles as a powerful audio interface with a huge number of channels, giving you enormous flexibility when it comes to recording.

If you don't want to lug a laptop around with you, or you're heading away from your desktop, all you need is an SD card. You can record 34 streams directly to the card, and you can even combine the SD and USB recording capabilities for complete peace of mind. You can choose to record any combination of channels, FlexMixes, and the main stereo mix. And you can do it all at the touch of a button.

And when it comes to routing, you're in control. You can do it all without having to remove or connect a single cable. You can patch any analog or input return to any channel you want to. You can even route the audio to your AVB network, so you can record things other than just your input channels and main mix via USB.

Discover a vast virtual world

PreSonus pride themselves on creating hardware and software systems that integrate seamlessly for unmatched power and flexibility. That's why the StudioLive 24 Series III is the perfect match for the Studio One Artist DAW that comes included with the mixer. Designed and built to offer exceptional power with an easy-to-learn workflow, Studio One lets you compose, record, and produce your work the way you want to.

The StudioLive 24's touch-sensitive motorised faders can be used to control your mix in Studio One, whilst you can remotely control each of the mixer's recallable XMAX mic preamps and Fat Channel processing. Low-latency recording (complete with effects), instant bi-directional DAW control, and more. Studio One and the StudioLive 24 go hand in hand for quick, simple, and effective working.

If that wasn't enough, the StudioLive 24 also gives you access to a huge suite of virtual instruments and effects for Studio One. The Studio Magic Plug-In Suite is made up of some of the most prestigious plug-ins, giving you phenomenal results no matter what you're working on.

Experience the Fat Channel

You won't regret it. This dynamic channel lets you quickly and easily access EQ and Dynamics functions. Each and every parameter can be accessed by the mixer's full-colour touchscreen, or you can use the Fat Channel's hardware controls. It's your workflow, and you're free to decide.

These parameters belong to the ten vintage EQ and compressor plug-in models that can be accessed directly through your mixer, or via Studio One. You can also take advantage of the full variable 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, and limiter on every single output bus of your mixer.

Mix anywhere

Remove those shackles. With the StudioLive 24, you can mix from anywhere you want to, and on any device. Presonus' UC Surface touch-control software lets you take complete control of your mixer from anywhere in the venue. The software can be used on Mac and Windows computers, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices.

You can even control monitor mixes with the Qmix-UC app for iOS and Android tablets and smartphones. Simply hook up a wireless router to your mixer via the dedicated 1GB Ethernet port, and create your wireless control network.
