Product Overview
When mixing a live event or tracking in the studio, you need the ability to work fast. The familiar, easy-to-use interface on PreSonus' StudioLive® 16.0.2 USB keeps all critical controls visible and accessible — that is, not buried down in menus or lower-level layers. PreSonus' design philosophy is simple: 1 fader for every mono or stereo channel; 1 output for every bus. To that, add rotary trim controls; easily-accessed, color-coded function buttons; and clearly labeled, individual knobs for EQ and dynamics processing. Its Aux sends all have their own physical controls. Every channel features a big, bright meter display. But don't be fooled by that analog feel: The StudioLive 16.0.2 USB brings with it all the power of modern digital mixing, multitrack recording, wireless remote control, and much more. The compact 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 USB offers 8 mono input channels, 4 stereo channels, and 4 aux buses, each with a high-quality, 60 mm fader, all within a footprint of less than 2 square feet (0.19 square meters). Additionally, you get generous analog I/O, extensive signal processing with physical controls, 12 XMAX Class A solid-state mic preamps, a Talkback input with Class A mic preamp, accurate metering, MIDI control, and an onboard multichannel recording interface. As with all StudioLive mixers, the 16.0.2 USB includes a suite of tightly integrated recording, control, and audio analysis software. Plus it's so compact and lightweight that you can easily hold it in one hand and tuck it under your arm.

Notes
Notes: The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer.
Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio signals.
Note: As a commitment to constant improvement, PreSonus Audio Electronics, Inc., reserves the right to change any specification stated herein, at any time, without notification.
