The digital mixer that defines versatility

The StudioLive 24R digital mixer is four audio tools in two compact rack spaces. Use it as a standalone digital mixer with UC Surface remote mixing software. Pair it with your StudioLive Series III console mixer to use as a stage box or integrated monitor mixer. Connect it with EarMix 16M monitor mixers for the ultimate personal monitor system. Get professional recording results every time with the continuously bidirectional, 128-channel (64x64) USB audio interface featuring statespace modeled vintage dynamics and EQ plug-ins on every input and bus. Whether used standalone or as part of a complete audio system, no other rackmount digital mixer is as flexible or as powerful.
Inside the StudioLive 24R, the dual-core PreSonus FLEX DSP Engine powers 40 mixing channels, 22 mix buses, and 286 simultaneous processors – including 4 stereo reverberation systems and Fat Channel plug-in models on every input channel and mix bus. Equipped with 24 remotely controlled XMAX mic preamps onboard, simply add an NSB 8.8 stage box and you've got an analog input and output for every channel and bus to create a true 32-channel digital mixer that can comfortably fit in any size rig. Simply connect it to a standard wireless router and control every mix parameter from an iPad®, Android™ tablet, or Windows® Touch computer using UC Surface. UC Surface was designed to make mixing on a touch screen as intuitive as mixing on a control surface, but with the benefit of allowing you to mix front-of-house from anywhere in the venue.

An integrated monitor mixer

For professional venues and touring acts in need of a dedicated monitor mixer, StudioLive Series III rack mixers provide a dedicated monitor mixer mode when used as a part of a larger StudioLive AVB network. When connected to a StudioLive Series III console mixer, the StudioLive 24R provides remote inputs and main outputs while simultaneously retaining full control over its FlexMixes so that you can create up to sixteen mono monitor mixes complete with independent gate, compression, EQ, and effects on every channel and bus.

The perfect personal monitoring system

When combined with up to 16 EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers, the StudioLive 32R is the most powerful personal monitoring hub available. With 16 FlexMix buses that can be configured as aux mixes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, the StudioLive 24R makes it easy to create simplified mixes for some EarMix 16M mixers, while give others on the same network access to all 16 channels. Four dedicated effects buses let you add reverb and delay and let the musicians control the blend from stage. No other personal monitoring system offers so much powerful processing with flexible, easy-to-use routing features.

The digital stage box

As a digital stage box for StudioLive Series III console mixers, the StudioLive 24R provides 24 remote digitally controlled XMAX preamps that can gain-staged right from your StudioLive Series III console's Fat Channel. The outputs of the StudioLive 24R automatically mirror the mixes available on your console mixer, making routing fast and easy. Best of all, when you need a rackmount mixer for a small mobile gig, or remote corporate application, simply disable Stage Box mode, and you have a full-featured 32-channel digital mixer that fits into two rackspaces.

A complete networked solution

The StudioLive Series III ecosystem of networked products are at the forefront of AVB networking technology. Designed to complement each other, the ecosystem is easily expanded and quickly configured. The StudioLive 24R combines the powerful processing for which StudioLive Series III mixers are known with flexible modes to pair perfectly with console mixers and EarMix 16M personal monitoring mixers. Whether used standalone as a digital mixer and audio interface, or utilized with other StudioLive Series III ecosystem products, the StudioLive 24R combines flexibility with DSP power to become the ultimate compact audio solution.
