The most powerful and flexible digital mixer for recording and live sound.

The 32-channel StudioLive® 24 is the most powerful and flexible digital mixer available for live sound and recording. PreSonus® gave the StudioLive 24 the works: 40 total inputs; extensive AVB networking; more recording tracks over USB than any other digital mixer; touch-sensitive motorized faders; and a host of State-space modeled Fat Channel plug-ins that let you expand your processing options. Packaged with a full suite of integrated software, including PreSonus’ Studio One® DAW and Capture™ live-recording software, the StudioLive 24 is a groundbreaking professional digital mixer and USB audio interface in a compact, scalable design.

 

The scalable digital mixer that grows with you.

Every audio system is built to solve a unique set of problems. The StudioLive 24 digital mixer and the PreSonus ecosystem of AVB networking products allow you to create a system that is truly customized for your needs. Connect NSB-series stage boxes to add remote analog inputs and outputs wherever they’re required and complete your 32-channel, 16-bus StudioLive 24. 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 thanks to the flexibility of Digital Patching available both onboard your StudioLive 24 digital mixer and inside UC Surface remote mixer software.

The best digital mixer for recording – with or without a computer.

PreSonus Capture recording software is an intuitive, rock-solid multitrack recording application with a fully integrated Virtual Soundcheck mode that runs directly on your StudioLive 24 digital mixer or on your macOS or Windows machine. This gives you the option to record to your computer using the USB audio interface built into your StudioLive 24 digital mixer, or leave your laptop at home and record 34 streams directly to an SD card. Record any combination of channels, FlexMixes, and the Main stereo mix either to USB, to an SD Card, or both for the ultimate redundant live recording rig with the touch of a single button. StudioLive mix scenes can be stored with your recordings to speed up Virtual Soundchecks. Best of all, Capture sessions open natively in Studio One with the entire StudioLive mix scene recreated in the Studio One console, complete with fader levels, Fat Channel settings, mutes, solos, and more to launch your live mix right where you left it.

Reconfigure your mix without unplugging a single cable.

StudioLive Series III digital mixers incorporate the concept of an analog patch bay and digitize it. This lets you patch any analog input or digital return (AVB, USB, or SD) to any channel you like and customize your mix configuration. This flexible feature also allows you to freely route audio to your AVB network and record anything you’d like via USB, so you’re not limited to recording just the input channels and the main mix.

The ultimate USB audio interface and DAW control surface with motorized faders.

With 128 channels (64×64) of USB I/O, the StudioLive 24 is not just the best digital mixer for live sound recording; it’s the best digital mixer for the studio as well. Each channel can independently access its analog input or its dedicated digital return from your computer. And recording is simple and easy. Studio One and the StudioLive 24 digital mixer are the perfect pair to elevate your studio recordings. Remote control the StudioLive 24’s recallable XMAX mic preamps and Fat Channel processing with Studio One Artist for low-latency recording with effects. Press the DAW button your StudioLive 24 digital mixer and use the 25 touch-sensitive motorized faders to control your Studio One mix. Seamless integration and thoughtful bidirectional control with Studio One make the StudioLive 24 the best mixing console for the modern recording studio.

Extensive connections for flexible signal flow.

The back panel of a StudioLive 24 digital mixer is equipped with plenty of local analog I/O. 24 local analog mic/line channel inputs make it easy to connect a variety of gear. 16 local mix outputs let you route to floor monitors, delay stacks and more. But the local I/O is only half the story. Connect your StudioLive 24 digital mixer to an AVB audio network and add remote inputs and outputs anywhere you need them using NSB-series stage boxes.

Note: The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer.

Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio signals.
