Overview
18-input, 18-channel rack mixer with stagebox and monitor mixer modes
The StudioLive® 16R is a versatile 18-channel digital mixer in one rackspace. Use it standalone with Universal Control, pair with StudioLive Series III consoles as a stage box or monitor mixer, or connect with EarMix 16M personal mixers. It features a bidirectional 36-channel (18x18) USB audio interface with vintage-modeled dynamics and EQ plug-ins on every input and bus.
StudioLive offers nearly infinite mix configuration with 10 FlexMixes as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes. Four effects buses add reverb and delay without affecting monitors, and four subgroups simplify processing. With 24 DCAs, group control is fast and flexible.
Powered by the single-core PreSonus® FLEX DSP Engine, it delivers 18 channels, 10 buses, and 130 processors—including Fat Channel plug-ins on every input and bus. Control mixes via wireless router on iPad®, Android™, or Windows® devices.
Recording is effortless with instant playback streams and no extra routing needed. Modeled analog preamps and vintage EQ/dynamics run natively and in Fender Studio Pro®.
A free firmware update adds Milan certification, an improved limiter with variable release, and expanded Digital Reverb XL controls with new presets—offering enhanced power and precision. With this firmware update, you also get the 7 additional State Space Models EQs (10 total) and 8 analog-inspired compressors (11 total) from the Fat Channel Collection installed standard, adding even more processing to create studio-quality mixers for your live session.

Highlights
The perfect personal monitoring system.
When combined with up to 16 EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers, the StudioLive 16R is the most powerful personal monitoring hub available. With 6 FlexMix buses that can be configured as aux mixes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, the StudioLive 16R makes it easy to create simplified mixes for musicians on stage. No other personal monitoring system offers so much power and flexibility.
The digital stage box.
As a digital stage box, the StudioLive 16R provides 16 remote digitally controlled XMAX preamps that can be gain-staged right from your StudioLive Series III console Fat Channel. The outputs of the StudioLive 16R automatically mirror the mixes available on your console mixer, making routing fast and easy.
One-click recording
The StudioLive 16R is tightly integrated with PreSonus® Capture® live-recording software. Capture is designed to make recording easy by instantly configuring with your mixer and allowing you to record every channel plus the main mix with a single mouse click. Even better, your Capture sessions open natively in Fender Studio Pro!
Fender Studio Pro DAW Software License Included.
Your hardware registration includes a perpetual License to Fender Studio Pro.
