The PreSonus StudioLive 16R is a powerhouse rackmount digital mixer and stagebox, built for both live sound and studio recording. Equipped with 16 pristine XMAX microphone preamps, flexible routing options, and powerful onboard processing, the 16R adapts to virtually any application — from concerts and theater productions to mobile recording rigs and broadcast environments. With three recording options built in, capturing performances has never been easier. Use the integrated stereo SD recorder for quick and reliable live recordings, connect via USB 2.0 for 18 channels of recording/playback, or harness the power of AVB networking for up to 32 channels of low-latency audio streaming. Every channel is equipped with Fat Channel processing, giving you vintage-style EQs, compressors, limiters, and gates for professional sound shaping. The 16R’s Flex Mixes provide unmatched versatility, letting you configure up to 16 aux sends, Subgroups, or Matrix mixes to fit your exact needs. Whether you’re mixing monitor wedges for a large band, creating multi-zone audio for a venue, or running complex productions, the StudioLive 16R has the flexibility to keep up. Compact yet powerful, it can be rack-mounted for touring setups, used as a remote stagebox with StudioLive Series III consoles, or run standalone with full wireless control via Mac, Windows, iOS, or Android devices. And with the included Studio One Professional license and a 12-month Studio One+ subscription, you’ll have a complete end-to-end solution for mixing, mastering, and producing with no compromises.
