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 32S 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.
