PRESONUS REVEALS SPECIAL-EDITION STUDIOLIVE® DIGITAL MIXERS WITH INDUSTRY LEADING RECORDING, REMOTE MIXING AND MILAN-CERTIFIED I/O

Versatile New Mixers that Bring Studio Workflows to the Live Stage

BATON ROUGE, La., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PreSonus Audio Electronics, Inc. today introduces the new line of StudioLive Series III SE Digital Mixers. The new line of mixers offers a comprehensive solution for effortless recording and fast mixing workflows with features like Virtual soundcheck, Milan-certified audio networking, Metro remote access and a powerful software suite—including Studio One Pro, Capture and Universal Control. These new versatile mixers are available in three models: SE 16, SE 24 and SE 32.

The all-new StudioLive Series III SE Digital Mixers are designed for professionals and installations where recording, playback and remote access are essential—from houses of worship, to small music venues, gigging musicians and audio engineers. PreSonus continues to honor its mission to make professional audio equipment attainable, democratizing the live music and recording processes. With StudioLive SE, users get the ultimate solution for reliable, professional sound on stage and in the studio.

The StudioLive Series III SE Digital Mixers offer capabilities beyond any solution in their class:

• Third-party Milan certification ensures reliable, low-latency, time-aligned AVB audio networking with guaranteed interoperability—allowing StudioLive to effortlessly route audio anywhere with intuitive control and unshakable reliability.
• FlexMixes provide flexibility to individually configure Aux, Subgroup and Matrix mixes to create over 20 distinct routing configurations, in addition to a dedicated stereo main output.
• Flexible Routing accommodates patching up to four sources (analog, network, USB and SD card) to any channel, plus the ability to switch between them at the press of a button.
• Virtual Soundcheck allows sound engineers to recall previous recordings and mix scenes, instantly name channels and engage digital returns—all with the click of a button.
• The mixers function as a 64x64 channel bidirectional audio interface, delivering Integrated Recording for effortless individual channel capture and streamlined routing to plug-in racks, while allowing uninterrupted performance recording via Capture software or the onboard multitrack SD card. And for those who want to take their recordings further, StudioLive is fully compatible with the award-winning DAW, Studio One Pro.
• Metro remote access gives users full control of settings, routing, levels and effects processing over an internet connection—while delivering low-latency audio monitoring directly from a local device.
• Customized Configurations and User Settings let users create tailored fader layouts for quick access to critical channels and lock EQ, dynamics, gain staging, scenes, projects and level limits—keeping less experienced operators focused and on track.

"We're excited to launch the new special edition StudioLive Digital Mixers," said Adrian Haselhuber, VP of PreSonus Hardware. "We designed these mixers specifically to address the real-world challenges audio engineers and musicians face during live performances. These powerful mixers come packed with innovative features, including an entire software package to get started recording quickly and easily."

Additionally, StudioLive SE mixers have new ergonomic improvements, expanded reverb parameter set with pro-level depth and precise sonic control, upgraded analog-modeled EQs and compressors plus a new variable release on the Fat Channel limiter for even more tonal sculpting. For those with existing StudioLive Series III Digital Console and Rack Mixers, this release delivers a free firmware update that includes every new DSP and audio networking feature addition plus over 40 improvements to ensure optimized performance and rock-solid stability.
