Like its 16-channel sibling, the 24-channel StudioLive 24.4.2 is designed for both studio recording and live sound. StudioLive 24.4.2 sports the same user interface, feature set and I/O configuration as the StudioLive 16.4.2 but with several additions and enhancements.
The most obvious difference is that the new mixer provides 24 input channels rather than 16. As with the 16.4.2, each input features a trim pot, XLR mic input with XMAX mic preamp, 1/4-inch TRS balanced line inputs and unbalanced insert points.
Like the 16.4.2, the StudioLive 24.4.2 offers 4 subgroup outputs, but where the 16-channel model offers 6 aux buses, the 24.4.2 provides 10 aux buses.
Both StudioLive models serve as dual-port FireWire audio interfaces that can route all channels and buses to and from a Mac or Windows PC. But where the 16.4.2 is a 22×18 FireWire interface, the 24.4.2 can send 32 channels to the computer and can return 26 channels via FireWire.
StudioLive comes bundled with PreSonusʼ Capture 1.1 recording software.
