General
The PreSonus StudioLive CS18AI controller is made for operating the StudioLive RM rack mixers, the Studio One and the PreSonus DAW. No more need for analogue mixers connected to a stage box via long cables. Simply place an RM mixer like the RM16AI or the RM32AI on the stage and connect it to the CS18AI using a single UTP cable. This gives you the possibility to operate every part of the mixer using the extensive yet user-friendly controls, including motorised faders, on the CS18AI
CS18AI: Filter DCA's
An important feature of the CS18AI is that you are not limited to using layers like you are with many other mixers. Instead of switching between channels 1-16, 17-32, 33-48 and so on, you can choose to use the intuitive PreSonus Filter DCA groups. This means that you no longer have to guess where the guitar is, but can simply select a Filter DCA group that will immediately show all the corresponding channels. Endless Filter DCAs can be made so that you can have all the drums together, all the backing vocals together, all the wind instruments, keyboards, toms together, etc.
Digital and analogue options
The CS18AI is packed with controls. Each 16-channel strip has a touch-sensitive motorised fader as well as multi-colour push buttons and a name display. There is also a touch-sensitive display for adjusting things like EQ, gate and compressor settings and a practical series of knobs for controlling DSP effects. Furthermore, this controller has a number of handy modern AVB transport analogue inputs for headphones, microphones and main mix connectors.
