Highlights & Specifications

The Ease Of Analog Meets The Power Of Digital

Our design philosophy is simple: One fader for every mono or stereo channel; one output for every bus. Function buttons are color-coded for easy visibility, and EQ and dynamics controls are dedicated and clearly labeled. Every critical control you need is always at your fingertips.

Power Without Compromise

The StudioLive 16.0.2 USB mixer provides 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 Fat Channel

The unique Fat Channel provides a compressor, limiter, expander, and three-band semi-parametric EQ on every channel and bus; plus a library of professionally crafted presets with room for more. You also get a stereo, 31-band graphic EQ for the main bus, and two 32-bit delay/reverb effects processors, each with its own dedicated mix bus.

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.

One-Click Recording

The StudioLive 16.0.2 USB is tightly integrated with PreSonus® Capture® live-recording software. Capture is designed to make recording easy by instantly configuring with your mixer and allowing you to record every channel plus the main mix with a single mouse click. Even better, your Capture sessions open natively in Studio One!

World-Class Recording Software Included

Take your Capture recordings to the next level with Studio One Artist. Open your multitrack sessions natively in Studio One to start mixing! Studio One’s intuitive drag-and-drop workflow makes recording, mixing, and producing fast and fun.
