PreSonus StudioLive Series III SE 16 Digital Mixer

The PreSonus StudioLive Series III SE 16 is a 40-channel beast elegantly disguised in a compact, rack-mountable frame. This digital mixer is your ticket to large-format mixing power without needing a large-format space. It delivers studio-quality sound and extensive routing flexibility, whether you're mixing a live show, tracking an album, or producing a broadcast.

Powerful Processing for Every Channel

Ready to take control of your mix like never before? The StudioLive SE 16 packs immense power and intuitive workflow into a portable chassis, giving you the tools to craft professional sound with speed and precision.

Massive Channel Count, Compact Footprint: Command a full 40-channel mix from a sleek 17-fader surface. It’s perfect for venues and mobile rigs where space is a premium, but sonic quality is non-negotiable.
Studio-Grade XMAX-R Preamps: The 16 fully recallable, studio-grade XMAX-R preamps capture every nuance of your sound with pristine clarity and warmth, ensuring your mix starts with the best possible source audio.
Onboard Multitrack Recording: Record your show or rehearsal directly to an SD card with the integrated 34x34 multitrack recorder. It’s perfect for capturing live performances for later mixing or for conducting a virtual soundcheck without needing the band present.
Massive USB Audio Interface: The built-in 64x64 USB audio interface allows for seamless integration with your studio DAW. You can use it for multitrack recording, playing back backing tracks, and connecting to your favorite plug-ins.

Flexible Routing and Powerful Processing

The StudioLive SE 16 isn’t just about inputs and outputs; it’s about giving you the freedom to route anything anywhere. This mixer adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.

16 Flexible FlexMixes: This is where the magic happens. Configure any of the 16 FlexMixes as an aux mix for monitors, a subgroup for processing, or a matrix mix for sending audio to different zones. This incredible flexibility lets you tailor the mixer’s architecture to the specific needs of any gig.
Vintage-Style Processing on Every Channel: Each input and bus features its own Fat Channel with vintage-style EQ and compression options. You get the tactile feel of analog gear with the convenience and recallability of digital, allowing you to dial in your sound quickly and effectively.
Comprehensive Bus and Grouping Options: Stay organized even with complex mixes. The StudioLive SE 16 provides 24 DCA groups for easy fader control, 4 dedicated subgroup mixes for processing related channels, and 4 dedicated FX mixes with lush reverbs and delays to add depth to your sound.
