Description
The PreSonus StudioLive AR16c is the larger sibling of the AR12c: an analog mixer with 12 mic preamps, an 18-in/4-out USB-C audio interface and a stereo SD recorder in one 480 mm-wide desk. It is for bands, venues and events that need more microphone inputs and still want to record every channel.
Highlights
- 12 XMAX Class A mic preamps (+12 to +55 dB of gain) with global 48 V phantom power.
- 8 mono and 4 stereo channels plus a stereo Super Channel (17/18) with Bluetooth 5.0, RCA, a 3.5 mm input and SD/USB playback.
- 18×4 USB-C interface at 24-bit/96 kHz that records every channel plus the main mix.
- 2×2 SD recorder for the main mix on SD/SDHC cards up to 32 GB.
- 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid on the mono channels and a 100 Hz high-pass filter on every channel.
- Stereo effects processor with 16 presets and a bypass footswitch jack.
In your setup
Compared with the AR12c, the AR16c adds four mic preamps and four mono channels, and PreSonus's feature list names a rackmount kit as included. Wedges run from the two monitor buses, the PA from the XLR main outputs, and you check the mix on the control-room or headphone outputs. A DJ controller fits a stereo channel or the Super Channel's RCA inputs. Capture records each channel on the computer, and PreSonus includes a DAW licence on registration (Fender Studio Pro on its current page). The desk measures 480 × 89 × 397 mm and weighs 6.4 kg.
