Digital Mixing: the next generation With its incredible signal-processing power on every channel, easy store & recall of every setting, & the ability to record it all with just two mouse clicks, a Studio Live mixer will spoil you fast! Easier to use, better sounding, & flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, it delivers the most creative environment possible for both live performance & studio music production. The 32-channel, 14-aux Pre Sonus Studio Live™ 32.4.2AI starts with all the strengths of previous Studio Live models
- & then pushes the technology to the next level. Studio Live 32.4.2AI is built with next-generation Active Integration technology that adds unprecedented power for mixing consoles anywhere near this price class. So while the 32.4.2AI looks & feels much like its non-AI counterparts it has with far more computing power, which makes possible some very useful new features. For starters, you get twice as many internal effects buses & 31-band graphic EQs. We’ve added six mute groups & user-assignable Quick Scene buttons. You’ll love the ability to create two complete sets of EQ & dynamics settings for a channel or bus & then make quick A/B comparisons at the touch of a button. A built-in 48x 34 Fire Wire S800 interface is standard equipment but Thunderbolt & Ethernet (Dante) cards are expected by the end of 2013. A dedicated USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2 port & included Wi-Fi LAN adapter lets you control the mixer wirelessly
- even without a Mac or Windows PC. Of course, you get the latest version of our tightly integrated software bundle, including updated Capture™ 2.0 recording software, Studio One Artist DAW, & Virtual Studio Live-AI editor/librarian/control software with Smaart Measurement Technology™. Studio Live Remote-AI for iPad & QMix™-AI for iPhone/iPod touch will both be available free from the Apple App Store. The deeper you dig into the Studio Live 32.4.2AI’s capabilities, the more you will realize that the future of digital mixing starts here & now! The future is Active Integration Products that sense each other, interact & work together via wireless & wired communication, feature 32-bit floating-point DSP & seamlessly integrated software, & run on CPUs far more powerful than competitors’ current audio products
- Pre Sonus has realized this dream with its new Active Integration technology. Thanks to Active Integration, the Studio Live 32.4.2AI mixer has 64 times the processing power & an incredible 10, 000 times more RAM than the Studio Live 24.4.2. This makes possible the aforementioned extended feature set. Features
