Description
- With its instantly familiar analog mixer design and USB-C™ and Bluetooth® connectivity, the 18-channel StudioLive® AR16c makes it simple to record studio productions and mix live shows from a single, intuitive console.
The channel that does it all… even Bluetooth connectivity!
The unique Super Channel can handle four stereo sources at once and makes it easy to integrate consumer devices into your studio workflow. Connect a turntable to the RCA inputs, use the ⅛-inch stereo input to plug-in your smartphone, or forget the cable and connect it via Bluetooth wireless technology. You can also toggle between a stereo playback stream from your computer and playback from the onboard SD recorder, making rehearsal a snap
A real audio interface.
The StudioLive ARc audio interface operates at up to 96 kHz for high-definition mixing and recording. Record each of the inputs, plus the main mix for even more flexible recording options. Play back up to four streams for monitoring previously recorded tracks—plus a click. Each channel is equipped with one of PreSonus' lauded XMAX mic preamps to provide all the gain you need to capture even the most subtle details without adding any extra noise. The analog mixer front-end makes connecting your gear to your computer intuitive, and creating monitor mixes is quick and easy. With a USB-C™ compatible connection, your StudioLive ARc is ready to use as an audio interface with nearly any computer
Effects without latency.
Monitoring with reverb and delay helps to create better recordings. Any vocalist or guitarist will tell you that a little reverb makes them feel more comfortable while performing. The StudioLive ARc mixer’s onboard effects processor lets you add high-quality reverb, delay, or chorus to any channel for a professional monitor mix. Like what you hear in your headphones? Record the Main Mix and capture the effects mix, too—with or without the dry channels—to blend with your multitrack recording. Experiment in post production to your heart's content
All the connections you need with a familiar look
Packed with all the connections and controls needed to mix and record in the studio and on the stage, the StudioLive ARc audio interface mixers are the ultimate recording solution. Every channel features a musical three-band EQ, plus one of PreSonus’ famed XMAX high-gain mic preamps. Dedicated monitor mixes with balanced outputs provide your musicians the custom mix they need. The USB-C compatible connector ensures your StudioLive ARc audio interface will be the center of your studio for years to come. And with high-resolution 96 kHz recording, a full complement of connections, and an instantly familiar workflow, the StudioLive ARc is the perfect recording and mixing solution for the modern musician and content creator.
