General

In terms of practicality, Presonus feel that a mixer should cater to sound technicians' every need, down from the channel strips to the connectors. No vague guessing through layered channels, but a straightforward layout that allows you to rapidly adjust the mix, that's what the Presonus StudioLive 64AI offers. This digital mixer consists of two 32.4.2AIs, or two highly powerful 32-channel mixing consoles that form a seamless 64-channel mixer without sacrificing speed or versatility.

64AI: channels and effects

The two mixers that make up the 64AI are joined by the included adapter and FireWire 800 cable. You will then have 64 very complete channels at your disposal, each with their own fader and so-called Fat Channel. The Fat Channel is an excellent compressor, limiter, gate/expander and 4-band parametric equalizer. Even when you apply these effects to each channel at full capacity, this professional product by Presonus is still as smooth as an analogue mixer.

Connectors and connectivity

Presonus fitted the 64AI with no fewer than 64 microphone inputs that are all supported by the renowned XMAX preamps. What's more, each channel has a line input and an insert connector. There is also a wide selection of main, aux, and sub-group outputs. An important advantage of the AI models is that you can also access their functions via Wi-Fi on your iPad, iPhone, Mac or PC. This is an excellent product that perfectly combines the best of analogue and digital.

Presonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI digital mixer

Wrote the following about Presonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI digital mixer
Een van de meest onoverzichtelijke consoles waarop ik ooit heb gewerkt. Het idee van het weergeven van alle sends, eq's, compressie en FX-parameters (ohja en ook nog je input metering die je dus gewoon niet standaard onder het oog hebt...) onder dezelfe led strips is tot zover het slechtste idee van de gasten van Presonus dat ik ben tegengekomen, de Ipad app is raar, klein en onhandig en er zijn 4 versies van wat super verwarrend is.

Dsnake aansturen is ook heel vreemd, je hebt allemaal gain pots boven de kanalen maar die doen het prompt niet meer als je aan de Dsnake bent verbonden, je moet het kanaal selecteren en dan naar een bepaalde pagina in het kleine LCD schermpje navigeren om vervolgens de gain aan te kunnen passen wat echt in stapjes van 0.02dB gaat...

Vervolgens, als klap op de vuurpijl, ook nog een tegekke bank ongemotoriseerde faders! Wat inhoud dat wanneer je via een Ipad mixt tussen het publiek, je gewoon een kanaal 'kwijt kunt raken' daarmee bedoel ik dus: Je moet eerst de fader positie van het kanaal weer opzoeken met je fysieke fader voordat je weer kunt schuiven op de tafel zelf! Gaat je gegarandeerd een keertje tegenwerken tijdens een plotselinge rondzinger of solerende gitarist.

Als je een tafel wil hebben waar iedere gast tech helemaal de kluts van kwijt raakt, ga dan vooral voor dit maffe apparaat... Ik kan tenzeerste aanraden: een SiExpression of SiImpact (als je schermpjes wilt hebben boven de faders) of gewoon een X32(c) of M32(r).

Al met al is dit ding gewoon echt een NEE
