PreSonus StudioLive 32S is an environment for sound creation designed for live sound, touring, and recording. It features 32 recallable XMAX preamps (16 on board, expandable via AVB), with multitrack recording and customizable FlexMixes. Flexible routing with auxes, subgroups, matrices, and AVB networking enables a wide range of configurations – including new features for the PreSonus ecosystem.
Processing is deeply integrated: Fat Channel with vintage-inspired EQs, compressors, gates, and limiters on every channel and bus, DAW control, support for MCU/HUI. Recording can be done in real-time via USB, SD card, or Capture software – for automatic multitracking of sources.
