The 18-channel StudioLive SE 16R packs the power of a large-format digital mixer into a sleek rackmount design. Equipped with 16 fully recallable XMAX-R mic preamps and powered by the PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine, it delivers vintage-style EQ and compression options on every channel and bus for musical, studio-quality sound.
Six FlexMixes can be individually configured as aux mixes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, giving the SE 16R exceptional flexibility for live sound, broadcast, and installed applications. Two dedicated FX mixes with stereo returns provide lush reverbs and delays without consuming valuable buses.
For recording and playback, the StudioLive SE 16R features a continuously bidirectional 18x18 USB 2.0 audio interface, onboard stereo SD recording, and tight integration with included Capture multitrack recording software with Virtual Soundcheck. Each channel can switch between analog, USB, SD, and AVB sources, making hybrid workflows effortless.
Built-in Milan-certified AVB networking allows the SE 16R to function as a plug-and-play stagebox or monitor mixer for StudioLive Series III consoles, while optional AVB-D16 support adds Dante connectivity when required. Universal Control remote mixing software provides complete wireless control, with Offline Editor support for mix preparation anywhere.
