outputs wherever they’re required and complete your 64-channel, 32­bus StudioLive 64S. 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 64S as part of a complete networked audio system.

Each of the 32 FlexMixes can be configured to function as an aux bus,
a subgroup, or a matrix mix. Eight designated eects buses plus both
stereo and mono main buses make a total of 43 mix buses in addition
to an independent solo bus. 24 DCAs are also provided to more easily
control groups of channels. The independent Main Mono bus can
be configured with individual channel sends to feed a subwoofer or
as the center channel in an LCR system with a Center Divergence
control on each channel to more precisely place pan placement.

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 64S provides redundant
recording options and an automated Virtual Soundcheck mode.
Record any combination of channels, FlexMixes, and the main 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.

to life for stage or studio.
