StudioLive Series III 32R Digital Rack Mixer

The PreSonus StudioLive 32R is a 34-input, 40-channel Series III digital rack mixer that functions as a standalone mixer, AVB-networked stage box, monitor mixer, and 128-channel USB audio interface in a compact 2U rackmount chassis. It features 32 digitally controlled, recallable XMAX Class A mic preamps and is powered by the FLEX DSP Engine with 270 simultaneous processors.

Mixing and DSP

Sixteen FlexMixes can be individually configured as aux, subgroup, or matrix mixes. Four effects buses provide classic reverb and delay emulations. Four dedicated subgroups and 24 DCAs enable efficient group control.

Fat Channel processing with vintage EQ and compressor plug-in models is available on every input and bus. Milan-certified AVB networking enables seamless integration with the Series III ecosystem. Scene management with Scene Safe protection allows complex recall without disturbing critical settings.

Recording and Interface

A built-in 128-channel (64x64) bidirectional USB audio interface provides multitrack recording with instant playback at the press of a button. The 55x55 AVB recording interface offers additional capture over the network. An onboard stereo SD card recorder captures any mix without a computer. Includes Fender Studio Pro DAW, Capture live-recording software, and UC Surface control.

Flexible Operation

The StudioLive 32R adapts to any workflow. Use it as a standalone rack mixer controlled wirelessly via UC Surface on Mac, Windows, iPad, or Android. Deploy it as a digital stage box for StudioLive Series III consoles, providing 32 remote preamps with gain staging from the console's Fat Channel.

Outputs automatically mirror your console mixes for fast, easy routing. Pair it with EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers for customizable monitoring. Optional Dante connectivity is available with the AVB-D16 bridge.
