Connect NSB-series stage boxes to add remote analog inputs and outputs wherever they’re required, shortening analog cable runs and streamlining large installations. Add EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers to give your musicians their own customizable 16-channel monitor mix. Multiple StudioLive Series III digital mixers can be networked together, allowing you to route audio to and from any device on the audio network.
Recongure your mix without unplugging a cable.
StudioLive Series III digital mixers let you patch any analog input or digital return (AVB, USB, or SD Card) to any channel to customize your mix configuration. This flexible feature also allows you to freely route audio to your AVB network and record any of the inputs and FlexMixes on the 64 USB sends. Digital Patching also makes it easy to quickly route to and source from your AVB audio network when using the StudioLive 32S as part of a complete networked audio system.
Each of the 16 FlexMixes can be configured to function as an aux bus, a subgroup, or a matrix mix. Matrix mixes support blending any bus with any input channel for ultimate control. Four designated eects buses plus four dedicated subgroups make a total of 26 mix buses in addition to an independent solo bus. 24 DCAs are also provided to more easily control groups of channels. Bus configuration and routing is stored in a master Project that can be locked out from any changes, keeping critical functions safe.
The best digital mixer for recording
- with or without a computer.
With 128 (64x64) channels of recording over USB and an integrated 34-track SD recorder, the StudioLive 32S provides redundant recording options and an automated Virtual Soundcheck mode. Record every input channel plus any stereo mix to USB as well as to an SD Card. StudioLive mix scenes can be stored with your recordings to speed up Virtual Soundchecks. 33 touch-sensitive motorized faders can be used to control Studio One, Logic, or Pro Tools with optimized control modes for each.
Fat Channel plug-ins bring your mix to life for stage or studio.
