Don't let the classic analog mixing console design fool you - the StudioLive® AR16c was built for recording. Its hybrid design features a traditional analogue section that includes 14 line-input channels, 8 high-gain XMAX microphone preamps and 2 instrument inputs. The channels are routed to a multi-channel USB-C audio interface that allows recording of 14 independent channels in 24 bit/96 kHz quality. Add a musical 3-band analog equalizer, all-new digital effects with rich reverbs and lush delays, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a stereo SD recorder, and you have a mixing and recording device that meets the needs of modern musicians and content creators.
The channel that does it all
The unique Super Channel makes it easy to connect multiple consumer devices at once with RCA, Jack 3.5mm, SD, USB or Bluetooth inputs. Switch between playback from your computer and the built-in SD recorder to add different sounds and sound effects to your podcast in real time or practice along with your favorite recordings.
Onboard effects
The StudioLive AR12c mixer's built-in effects processor lets you add high-quality reverb, delay or chorus effects to any channel to create a professional monitor mix. Like what you hear in your headphones? Record the main mix without effects and capture the effects mix as well, blending it with the multitrack recording. Experiment in post-production at will.
One-click recording
StudioLive AR12c is tightly integrated with PreSonus® Capture® software for live recording. Capture is designed to make recording easy by instantly configuring itself with your mixing console, allowing you to record each channel and master mix with a single mouse click. What's more, your Capture sessions open natively in Studio One!
World-class recording software
