he PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 is a 16-channel (16x4x2) digital mixer that is designed for live events, live and studio recording, and corporate, institutional, and other installations. Each channel features an XLR mic input and high-headroom Class A XMAX mic preamps, individually switched 48V phantom power, ¼" balanced line inputs, and insert points. Channel, subgroup, and main levels are set with 100 mm faders. The StudioLive 16.4.2 has six aux buses, four subgroups with variable (2 to 500 ms) output delay, a talkback section with Class A XMAX preamp, extensive LED metering, mixer Scene save and recall, and channel-strip save/ recall/copy/paste. A stereo, graphic EQ is available on the Main output bus, and four more dual-mono graphic EQs are available for the aux buses. Every channel and subgroup has Solo and Mute buttons, the two FX buses have Mute buttons, and the Aux buses have Solo buttons. A Solo-in-Place (SIP) button is provided, and the Cue bus is switchable between AFL and PFL. The Solo and Main bus, Tape Input, and Main FireWire return can be monitored via the Control Room Outputs. All buttons on the mixing surface glow gently when inactive and brightly when selected for easy viewing in lowlight conditions. The mixer also offers a 12 VDC, BNC lamp socket. ™
™
Main outputs are on both XLR and balanced ¼" jacks, and a full-range XLR Mono output is provided. The subgroup, aux send, and control room outputs are balanced ¼" jacks, as are the two stereo Aux returns. The stereo tape sends and returns use RCA jacks. Pre-insert, analog direct outputs are provided on DB25 connectors. A stereo coax S/PDIF digital output is included. The mixer incorporates a built-in 32x18 FireWire recording/playback engine and has two FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) ports. In addition to providing computer connectivity, the ports permit passthrough for connecting a hard drive, and they allow two StudioLive 16.4.2s to be daisy-chained, providing a 32x8x2 or 32x4x2 (selectable) mixer with computer recording. Up to four StudioLive 16.4.2s can be daisy-chained for live mixing without recording. The StudioLive 16.4.2’s Fat Channel processing section offers 4-band quasiparametric EQ (with high/low Q switch on the two midbands and switchable shelving on the low and high bands), compressor, limiter, and expander/gate on every channel, aux, and subgroup, as well as a high-pass filter and phase reverse on each channel, aux, and effects bus.

In addition, the Fat Channel provides panning, subgroup and main assigns, and sends to each aux and effects bus. The Fat Channel’s 16-segment, multipurpose LED meters offer 4 modes for the levels of all 16 inputs: post-gain and predynamics and fader; post-dynamics and fader; the amount of gain reduction; or the fader settings for a saved Scene. These meters can also be used to display output volume of each of the 6 Aux Sends. Channels can be linked in stereo as odd-even pairs (Ch. 1-2, 3-4, etc.), and a horizontal LED Pan meter displays the pan position for the selected channel or linked channels. The Fat Channel is available anywhere there is a blue Select button; when a Select button is fully lighted, the Fat Channel is active on that channel, aux, etc. Time-based effects such as delay and reverb are delivered by two stereo 32-bit effects processors, which are assigned to dedicated effects buses and come with 50 user-editable factory presets and 49 empty locations for user-created presets. Both internal effects returns can be directly patched to any of the analog Aux Buses. An LCD display gives access to the effects parameters, graphic EQ, Scene store/recall, channel strip store/recall, and system settings. In addition to the multifunction meters in the Fat Channel, the StudioLive 16.4.2 has a main metering section featuring 15- segment LED meters that display the levels of the currently selected channel or bus, the four Subgroups, and the Left and Right channels of the Main bus. This section features the same metering modes as the Fat Channel: pre-dynamics and pre-fader, post-dynamics and post-fader, the amount of gain reduction applied to each subgroup and the Main bus, or the fader settings for a saved Scene. In addition, the main meter section offers a dedicated Gain Reduction meter for the currently selected channel. The StudioLive 16.4.2 can be rack mounted (12U), using the included rack rails. The mixer operates on 100240 VAC and employs a standard IEC power connector. Bundled software includes PreSonus Capture multitrack audio-recording application (primarily intended for recording live events), PreSonus Studio One Artist digital audio workstation (for audio and MIDI production), and PreSonus Virtual StudioLive bidirectional mixer-control application, which

The High band shall have a sweepable frequency from 1.4 kHz to 18 kHz, ±15 dB, and shall be switchable between shelf and peaking. In addition, the Fat Channel shall enable signals to be assigned to the Subgroups and Main bus and shall enable adjacent odd-even channels (Channels 1/2, 3/4, etc.) to be linked in stereo. The Fat Channel also shall provide button switches that enable Channel settings to be copied, loaded, and saved to and from onboard memory. 6. MIXER OUTPUT SECTION.
The mixer shall have 1 stereo 100 mm fader for the Main bus, providing up to 10 dB gain, and 4 mono 100 mm Subgroup faders, each providing up to 10 dB gain.
