When you're mixing a live event or have an artist in the studio, you need to be able to work quickly. PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 USB's familiar, easy-to-use interface keeps all critical controls visible and accessible - not buried in menus or layers. The PreSonus design philosophy is simple: one fader for every mono or stereo channel, one output for every bus. Add to that easily accessed, color-coded function buttons, rotary trim controls and clearly labeled, individual knobs for EQ and dynamics processing. Aux sends have their own physical controls. Every channel has a big, bright meter display. But don't let the analog feel fool you: StudioLive 16.0.2 USB offers the power of modern digital mixing, multitrack recording, wireless remote control and more.

Small size, bigger possibilities
In a footprint of less than 2 square feet, the compact 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 USB offers 8 mono input channels, 4 stereo channels and 4 aux busses, each with a high-quality 60mm fader. You get generous analog I/O, 12 XMAX Class A solid-state mic preamps, a talkback input with Class A mic preamp, extensive signal processing with physical controls, MIDI control, accurate metering and a built-in multichannel recording interface. As with all StudioLive mixers, 16.0.2 USB comes with a suite of tightly integrated recording, control and audio analysis software. And it's so lightweight and compact that you can easily hold it in one hand and tuck it under your arm.

You'll never run out of signal processors
StudioLive 16.0.2 USB mixers provide plenty of DSP power with no limitations, no shared resources, no figuring out what processing is available where - you have all of the processing available at all times with no compromises or caveats. The unique Fat Channel provides a compressor, limiter, expander and 3-band semi-parametric EQ on every channel and bus, a high pass filter on each channel, phase reverse for the channel mic preamps, a library of professionally crafted presets and the ability to save and selectively recall processor settings. A stereo 31-band graphic EQ sits on the main bus. To top it off you get two 32-bit delay/reverb effects processors, each with its own dedicated mix bus and a library of useful presets.

Superior sound
Connect a StudioLive 16.0.2 USB mixer and you'll instantly hear details and clarity you'd expect to find only in a much more expensive console. StudioLive mixers operate at up to 48 kHz for high-definition mixing and recording. High-quality Burr-Brown converters on every input and output provide a best-in-class 118 dB of dynamic range so you'll catch every high and low with great accuracy and no audible distortion. And PreSonus XMAX microphone preamps deliver incredibly high headroom, deep lows, smooth highs and a rich overall sound.

Recording is in StudioLive 16.0.2 USB's DNA
StudioLive 16.0.2 USB's built-in 18×16 multitrack recording interface is tightly integrated with the rest of the mixer, not a tacked-on afterthought. All 16 channels and the main mix continuously stream to your USB-connected Mac or Windows PC. Each channel can independently access its analog input or its dedicated digital return from your computer. And with StudioLive mixers recording is simple and easy: just launch the included, preconfigured Capture software for one-click recording of all channel inputs and your main mix. Or record with the included Studio One Artist DAW or any recording software that supports ASIO or Core Audio. Now you can record in the studio or at the gig with equal ease.

Integrated, multiplatform software for flexible control and one-click recording
Like all PreSonus StudioLive mixers, StudioLive 16.0.2 USB is tightly integrated with an entire suite of state-of-the-art software. Mix wirelessly or over a wired network from anywhere using UC Surface touch-control software for Mac, Windows, iPad and Android. Control individual monitor mixes onstage with QMix-UC for iPhone, iPod Touch and Android. Automate virtual soundchecks and record shows with Capture for Mac and Windows. Edit, sweeten and digitally release your recordings with Studio One Artist. StudioLive 16.0.2 USB mixers and software work together to form a cohesive ecosystem that helps you achieve your creative vision.

Dedicated analog connections for predictable signal flow.
Take a look at back panel of a StudioLive 16.0.2 USB mixer and you'll find the robust connections you'd expect from an analog mixer: balanced mic inputs on each of the 8 mono channels, 8 balanced 1/4" line inputs, 4 unbalanced RCA line inputs and dedicated balanced outputs for each of the 4 aux buses and the main stereo bus. Every input channel and bus send has its own dedicated jack - no sharing, no compromises - so you always know what's flowing from each output.

Add excitement to performances with MIDI control
Being able to control StudioLive 16.0.2 USB from an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch or Android device is cool - unless your hands are busy playing your instrument. That's why StudioLive 16.0.2 USB offers MIDI in and out. Use a MIDI footpedal or DAW to recall scenes using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, mute effects between songs, switch from lots of reverb to a little bit of delay and change the mix for a solo. You can even automate these features with a DAW. It's a great way to make your performances more exciting and varied, even if you don't have a dedicated soundperson.

Includes Studio Magic plug-in suite
This suite of plug-ins brings extended sonic functionality into Studio One. Cherry-picked from the first names in virtual instruments and effects, each one brings a different flavor of practical magic to your songs. These plug-ins aren't gimmicky one-trick ponies - these are real-deal workhorses that you'll find yourself relying on for countless mixes.
