PreSonus StudioLive 32SC 32-channel Rackmountable Digital Mixer

The Most Formidable StudioLive Yet

The StudioLive 32SC packs a lot of power for a compact console — it’s PreSonus’ most formidable offering yet. This 32-channel rackmountable digital mixer boasts a dual-core FLEX DSP engine with enough muscle to drive 286 simultaneous processors, and then some. What’s more, its FLEX FX multi-effects processor vaunts four slots of reverb emulations and delays with four dedicated effects buses. Benefit from easy expandability thanks to built-in AVB networking. Enjoy versatile operation by virtue of the 32SC’s 16 Flex Mixes. Shape and polish each channel to perfection courtesy of PreSonus’ lauded Fat Channel processing.

Dual-core FLEX DSP Engine boasts impressive processing muscle

The StudioLive 32SC is packed with serious power. Its dual-core FLEX DSP engine possesses enough processing muscle to run 286 simultaneous processors, 26 mix buses, and 40 inputs. And its FLEX FX multi-effects processor includes four slots of reverb emulations and delays with four dedicated effects buses. At City Music, we’re impressed by the sheer amount of raw power that’s lurking under the 32SC’s hood.

Three options for multitrack recording

The PreSonus StudioLive 32SC gives you three efficient options for multitrack recording. A built-in SD card recorder allows you to record all inputs simultaneously, and you can also play back from the SD card to do virtual soundchecks without a computer. You can also connect to a computer via USB for 64 channels of recording and playback — almost twice that of previous generations. And the StudioLive 32SC supports AVB over Ethernet too, enabling you to interface directly with PreSonus NSB stage boxes and EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers.

Pristine XMAX preamps for sound reinforcement and recording

Simply put, the 16 Class A XMAX preamps onboard the StudioLive 32SC sound like they belong in the studio. Their high headroom and low noise floor deliver extremely clean and clear sound you simply wouldn’t expect from a live console. And mic preamp settings are fully recallable, which is a huge time saver when you mix or record the same band or show on a regular basis.

Flex Mixes offer a ton of freedom for any mixing application

It can be frustrating trying to use the same mixer for many different tasks. Thanks to Flex Mixes, that’s not the case with the PreSonus StudioLive 32SC. Flex Mixes can be set up as aux mixes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, depending on what your show demands. Need a ton of different monitor mixes for a large group of musicians? No problem. You can create up to 16 aux sends if you need to. Same with subgroups and matrix mixes — perfect for theater productions and multi-zone venues, respectively. Basically, the 32SC’s Flex Mixes allow you to adapt your mixer to the mixing task at hand, instead of adapting your workflow to the limitations of your mixer.

Advanced processing for EQ, compression, and effects

The StudioLive series of consoles has always been known for outstanding effects and processing capabilities, and the StudioLive 32SC takes it even further. Its FLEX FX multi-effects processor supplies you with four internal effects buses that are loaded with a combination of reverbs, delays, and other effects that you can route any channel through. On top of that, Fat Channel processing offers vintage EQ and compressor models on every channel. And if you crave even more plug-in processing power, then you can bolster your 32SC with PreSonus’ Fat Channel Collection (sold separately).
