PreSonus StudioLive AR USB Hybrid Mixers Make Mixing and Recording Easy

	PreSonus StudioLive AR16 USB

Lightweight, versatile, and feature-rich, new PreSonus StudioLive AR USB hybrid mixers make it simple to mix and record. These are musician's mixers, packed with analog connections and digital tools, yet easy to learn and use. The series includes three models: the 18-channel StudioLive AR16 USB, 14-channel StudioLive AR12 USB, and eight-channel StudioLive AR8 USB.

StudioLive AR USB mixers are equipped with a USB 2.0 audio interface that can capture all input channels, plus the main mix, to a Mac or Windows PC, with 24-bit, 96kHz quality. As with all PreSonus mixers and interfaces, StudioLive AR USB mixers are tightly integrated with state-of-the-art recording software. Record with PreSonus' Capture live-recording software, then edit in award-winning Studio One 3 Artist DAW (recording and production software); both are included free.

For applications where connecting a computer is inconvenient, every StudioLive AR USB mixer comes equipped with an onboard stereo SD recorder that lets the user record the main mix without a computer -- just hit record and go. Users can also use the SD recorder to play up to 32 GB of MP3 and .WAV files for hours of program music or backing tracks without needing a computer.

The new hybrid mixers feature the PreSonus Super Channel, which allows a user to connect four stereo analog and digital sources at once, enabling the use of the mixer with high-tech devices. Plug a media player into the super channel's unbalanced RCA and 1/8" stereo inputs and play stereo audio from the onboard SD recorder or from a USB-connected Mac or Windows PC. Use onboard Bluetooth 4.1 to pair a phone to the StudioLive AR mixer and instantly have wireless access to a music library for break music, backing tracks, or ear-training. If there is a song the user wants the rest of the band to learn? Pair a phone and start rehearsing!

StudioLive AR USB mixers are packed with the connections and features needed to mix and record live, in the studio, and in rehearsal, including Class A mic preamps, two instrument inputs, three-band semi-parametric EQ, pan, mute, and PFL solo. In addition to the main outputs, the user gets monitor mix outputs with dedicated buses -- great for feeding stage wedges, a headphone amp, or an in-ear system. Since the StudioLive AR USB is also a studio mixer, the user receives control-room outputs with level control to feed studio monitors.

Each StudioLive AR USB mixer has an internal stereo effects processor with 16 presets, including an assortment of room, hall, and plate reverbs; chorus and delay effects; even a preset that emulates an acoustically treated studio room to provide a warmer, more intimate tone. A dedicated effects return, complete with master level fader and monitor sends, lets the user adjust the amount of the effects in their main and monitor mixes. The user can even bypass the effects with an optional footswitch.

Compact and road-ready, StudioLive AR USB mixers provide a superior all-in-one solution for mixing and recording performances. All models are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2016.
