Overview
The StudioLive® 32SX is a 40-channel digital mixer in a compact 25-fader chassis. Its split-fader workflow lets you control 32 inputs across two layers, with eight faders dedicated to mix outputs for quick access. With 16 FlexMixes configurable as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, plus four effects buses and four subgroups, your routing options are nearly limitless. Manage groups easily with 24 DCAs. Fat Channel processing delivers vintage EQ, classic compressors, and more on every input and output.
Equipped with a full 32 XMAX-R mic preamps and 16 Mix Outputs onboard, the StudioLive 32SX makes it easy to expand your system thanks to rock-solid audio networking. You can add remote I/O with NSB-Series stage boxes, personal monitor mixers with EarMix 16M, and even connect another StudioLive mixers for broadcast, monitor position, and more all with an Ethernet cable.

Highlights

Superior sound
In 1995, PreSonus patented digital control over analog circuits with our first studio product. Building on this legacy, we created a separate digital volume-control circuit ahead of our lauded analog XMAX mic preamp design, providing the convenience of digital recall without sacrificing fidelity.

The FlexMix difference.
Highly configurable, the StudioLive 32S provides 16 FlexMixes that can be used as aux buses, subgroups, or matrix mixes. Four dedicated effects buses and four additional subgroups provide a total of 24 mix buses plus an independent solo bus and the main mix. You also get 24 DCAs to control groups of channels easily.

One-click recording
The StudioLive 32SX 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 Studio One!

Studio One Pro 7 DAW Software License Included.
Your hardware registration includes a perpetual License to Studio One Pro.
