StudioLive 48AI Mix System

Easy to use, equipped with XMAX preamps and Burr-Brown converters, loaded with no-compromises signal processing, and flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, StudioLive® AI Active Integration mixing consoles deliver the most creative environment possible for live performance and studio music production. StudioLive 48AI Mix Systems consist of two cascaded StudioLive 24.4.2AI consoles, creating the functional equivalent of a 48-channel mixer. These feature-rich mixing systems are a fraction of the size, weight, and price of a conventional large-format digital console yet offer an analog-style workflow and features no console near their price class can match.

StudioLive 48AI Mix Systems perform as a cohesive 48-channel mixer and offer 22 mix buses (including 4 reverb and 4 delay processors with dedicated buses), discrete EQ and dynamics processors on every input and output, and a familiar, surface-driven workflow with one-to-one control over every channel. Every channel is routed through the bus outputs of the Primary mixer and every global setting is controlled from the Primary to provide seamless integration between the two cascaded consoles. Each StudioLive 48AI Mix System provides a robust 64x50 FireWire audio interface, making it easy to record and play audio with a Mac® or Windows® PC. All the power and performance available to a single StudioLive 24.4.2AI mixer are available to a cascaded StudioLive 48AI Mix System.

Like every StudioLive AI mixer, StudioLive 48AI Mix Systems are tightly integrated with an entire suite of state-of-the-art software. Mix wirelessly or over a wired network from anywhere using UC Surface for Mac, Windows, and iPad®. Musicians control their monitor mixes onstage with QMix®-UC for iPhone®/iPod® touch and Android™ devices. Completely automate virtual soundchecks and record shows with Capture™. Save mixer scenes with your live 64-track recordings in Capture and edit both in Studio One® Artist. Only StudioLive AI-series mixers and software work together to form a cohesive ecosystem that helps you achieve your creative vision.

It’s easy to network the two mixers in a StudioLive 48AI Mix System with nothing more than a FireWire 800 cable. Connect each mixer to a wireless router with a standard Ethernet cable and you’re ready to remote control your StudioLive AI Mix System from an iPad or iPhone or go wireless using the included USB Wi-Fi LAN adapters. Or go all-in with the latest technology by equipping both mixers with optional Dante or AVB cards. Now you not only have cascading but also advanced networking with PreSonus StudioLive RM-series rack mixers, StudioLive AI Active Integration loudspeakers, and more.

Only StudioLive Active Integration mixers let you create a large-format console on a small-format budget.
