You’ll
never go back to an old-school analog mixer once you’ve used
StudioLive™. With its incredible signal-processing power on every
channel, easy store and recall of every setting, and the ability to
record it all with just two mouse clicks, you’ll get spoiled fast!
Easier to use, better sounding, and flawlessly integrated with
state-of-the-art software, it delivers the most creative environment
possible for both live performance and studio music production.
But StudioLive is not simply a mixer, it’s a rapidly growing family of
state-of-the-art, integrated hardware-software mixing and recording
systems that deliver the features you need for live sound, live
recording, and studio recording.
The StudioLive 16.4.2 is a great
choice for those who want to mix smaller shows and worship services,
and it’s a great choice for small club systems, portable churches, small
bands, corporate applications, educational institutions, and anywhere
you want a rack-mount mixer. It’s the perfect hardware core for a
project studio. Or daisy-chain two StudioLive 16.4.2s to form a 32x4x2
performance and recording console for mid-sized shows and events.
Here, in one device, are high-headroom XMAX™ microphone preamplifiers, a
built-in FireWire recording and playback interface, more than 90 signal
processors, a big library of DSP effects, 6 aux buses, 4 subgroups,
extensive LED metering, mixer save and recall, channel-strip
save/recall/copy/paste, talkback, and more. Yet despite its many
controls and features, it’s compact, rack-mountable, and easy to
transport.
Build live mixes that glisten with clarity and
detail—then record and enhance the performance with the power of
StudioLive 16.4.2. Get creative in the studio. Build mixes, loops, sound
effects, and more, then bring them out to your show and mix them with
the live performance. Process channels using your favorite plug-ins and
completely automate your entire performance. StudioLive 16.4.2
revolutionizes music production, opening endless creative possibilities.
See it. Touch it. Change it: the ease of analog meets the power of digital.
When
we designed StudioLive, one of our primary goals was to provide a
familiar interface that would keep all critical controls visible and
accessible—not buried inside multiple menus.
Sit down at a
StudioLive 16.4.2, and you see real hardware Mute and Solo buttons, trim
controls, and clearly labeled, individual knobs for the semi-parametric
EQ and dynamics processing. The master section—complete with Talkback,
Monitor, Cue, and a choice of headphone sources—looks just like the
master section on an analog board but with far more power and
flexibility. Aux sends have their own controls. Every channel has a big,
bright meter display.
Bottom line: if you’ve ever used an analog
mixer, you’ll be right at home with a StudioLive 16.4.2. And even if
you’ve never used a mixer before, you’ll quickly be able to create
quality mixes and recordings.
Which StudioLive is Best for You?
Your
mixing and recording needs aren’t necessarily exactly the same as
everyone else’s. That’s why we created a StudioLive family of digital
mixers, starting with the StudioLive 16.4.2 and the StudioLive 24.4.2.
Why choose the StudioLive 16.4.2 rather than the StudioLive 24.4.2?
Obviously, if you don’t need more than 16 channels and 6 aux buses, the
16.4.2 might be your best choice. The StudioLive 16.4.2 weighs only 35
lbs. (15.9 kg), and you can rack-mount it, which makes it perfect for
compact studio systems, rack-based contractor installs, and bands that
want to do mobile recording. And the StudioLive 16.4.2 is very easy on
your budget.
