General

The StudioLive 16R by Presonus is part of the brand's third-generation rack mixers. Operate the 16R's preamps and phantom power by combining it with a Series III console. As well as an outstanding stage box, the StudioLive 16R can function in a stage box + monitor mixer mode. In that case, the rack mixer works exactly like a fully functioning monitor mixer with remarkably powerful processing capacity. Furthermore, the StudioLive 16R is equipped with 3^rd-generation Fat Channel processors, vintage-style EQs and compressors, and AVB networking via CAT5^e or CAT6 Ethernet. Multi-track recording is also possible via USB2.0, AVB, or on-board stereo recording to SD(HC). Lastly, you can use a touchscreen computer or tablet to operate it as a front-of-house mixer rack mount!

Wrote the following about Presonus StudioLive 16R Series III Rack Mixer

Deze had ik een jaar eerder moeten kopen.
Ben zeer tevreden over de 16r.
Goede keuze geweest voor hetgene wat ik er mee doe, namelijk live opnames maken van blaasmuziek.

Wrote the following about Presonus StudioLive 16R Series III Rack Mixer

De Presonus 16R is een geweldige tool en multi inzetbaar: als live mixer, bediend vanaf je iPad. Eenvoudige routing, prima audio inputs en outputs met een uitstekend geluid. Daarnaast ook te gebruiken in de (home) studio als interface. De volledige interface is vanuit Presonus StudioOne te besturen.
Presonus heeft er niet veel ruchtbaarheid aan gegeven, maar met de laatste 2021 update is de 16R een 24x24 interface geworden (in interface mode), waarmee het veel extra mogelijkheden krijgt, o.a. 3 extra stereo mixen, waarmee je in opname sessies 3 muzikanten een unieke mix geeft. Thanx Presonus!!
