PreSonus has released firmware version 1.11 for the StudioLive 16.4.2.
The new firmware is said to add important new features and improvements and is recommended for all StudioLive users.
One of the new features lets you use the mixer’s FireWire ports to daisy-chain two StudioLive mixers for 32 channels of recording or to combine up to 4 StudioLive mixers for 64 channels in live performance, with sample-accurate synchronization between units, according to PreSonus.
When you need more channels, plug in a second StudioLive 16.4.2, turn on its link ID, and your master StudioLive will detect it and merge the buses to the master unit, PreSonus says.
For example, with three mixers, all 48 channels are sent to the master unit’s main bus, and the six aux buses on the slave mixers are summed to the aux buses on the master unit. The main buses also are summed. You can either have the slave unit's subgroups merge to the subgroups on the master unit or keep them separate.
The mutes, solos, and PFL/cue are also designed to work together, as if you had one large mixer. The internal stereo effects buses remain independent, so with three mixers, you get six stereo effects processors. Linked mixers can share Scene names, and you can copy parameters across linked mixers. Selecting a meter mode on the master mixer enables the same meter mode on the slave units.
The update also adds a 31-band graphic EQ on the StudioLive’s main output.
Firmware version 1.11 is packaged in one installer, along with a new 64-bit-compatible FireWire driver and Universal Control software update for all PreSonus FireWire products.
Universal Control is designed so you can daisy-chain any FireStudio-series interface with your StudioLive 16.4.2, integrating the units, so that you not only get more inputs and outputs, you also have software control over the FireStudio-series’ internal mixers.
This installer will be part of the PreSonus open-beta program and is available on the PreSonus Web site at www.presonus.com/betaprogram.Associated item(s)

PreSonus announced it is shipping its new StudioLive 16.4.2 digital recording and performance mixer.
The StudioLive has various inputs and outputs. In addition to 16 mic inputs with XLRs, each channel has 1/4-inch TRS balanced line inputs and insert points. The four Subgroup outputs and six Aux bus inputs and outputs are also on 1/4-inch balanced jacks, and the main outs are on both XLR and 1/4 inch TRS jacks, along with a 1/4-inch mono output. Stereo tape sends and returns are on RCA jacks. There's a mic input for the talkback channel, 1/4-inch control-room outputs, a 1/4-inch headphone jack, and coax S/PDIF digital outputs.
The mixer also serves as a dual-port FireWire audio interface that can route all channels and buses to and from a Mac or Windows PC. It works with any ASIO-compliant audio application, including Logic, Cubase, Live, Digital Performer, Sonar, and Audition. Latency is designed to be low that you can use your host program and plug-ins with your StudioLive in real time for live performances.
Further emphasizing its dual nature, StudioLive comes bundled with PreSonus's new Capture™ recording software for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista. Capture is preconfigured to record with the StudioLive, so all mixer channels are correctly routed to Capture tracks. Launch Capture, open a new session, click once to arm all tracks, click on Record, and you're capturing the audio from all 16 channels and the stereo bus. You can drop markers on the fly to separate songs, do basic edits, return the recorded tracks to the mixer via FireWire, process them further, and send a stereo mix back to Capture, where you can export WAV and Open TL files to other audio programs. Capture also can import WAV files so you can bring prerecorded loops and backing tracks to a live show.
"Once you have a setup you like, you can save scenes (all settings), Fat Channel settings, and individual digital effects and recall them at the touch of a button. Record at home and re-create the mix live, set up a mix in one venue and recall it for the next gig, and save your sound-check settings so you're ready to go when the show starts," PreSonus said.
MSRP: $1,999, available now.

PreSonus Audio Electronics has announced StudioLive™ 16.4.2 Digital Performance and Recording Mixer.
It features sixteen high headroom XMAX microphone preamplifiers, built-in 22x18 FireWire recording and playback engine, "Fat Channel" processing with 4-band EQ's, compressors, limiters and gates, DSP effects, six aux buses, four sub-groups, extensive LED metering, talkback and much more.
They tell us that StudioLive seamlessly integrates a powerful and easy-to-use digital mixer with a complete multi-channel recording system delivering the most creative environment available for both live performance and studio music production.
This is what PreSonus has to say about the mixer:
Analog Inputs and Outputs
Sixteen class A, high-headroom, low-noise XMAX microphone preamplifiers are featured on StudioLive. All sixteen channels of StudioLive include line input, balanced inserts and balanced direct output. StudioLive includes six balanced auxiliary sends and two dedicated auxiliary effects sends for flexible monitor mixes and aux effects. Four subgroups are also included. Two sets of balanced main outputs as well as control room outputs are located on the back panel.
Digital Conversion
Analog input and output is converted to digital audio with the digital converters available delivering dynamic range of +118dB.
Digital Mixing
StudioLive features a "QuickTouch" design allowing fast access to every parameter, mix, effect, and aux, allowing quick and creative control during music production. Load and save functions are also included to create snapshots of channel settings, save effect settings, totally recalling a mix, and more. All digital mixing and effects processing is done with 32-bit floating point precision for unmatched musicality.
Fat Channel
The heart of StudioLive is the "Fat Channel" engaged by pressing any "select" button, and features extensive equalization and dynamics available to every input channel, every aux output, every subgroup output, and main output. High pass filter, and four-band semi-parametric equalization algorithms are based on PreSonus' custom — designed digital EyeQ™ equalizer, delivering extremely musical results. Also included in the Fat Channel are compressors, limiters and gates modeled after PreSonus' award-winning ACP88 for complete dynamics control.
DSP Effects
Two programmable 24-bit stereo DSP effects engines are loaded in StudioLive with a wide range of reverbs, delays, and time-based effects with easy to use parameter adjustment, tap tempo, store, recall, and scene selection for ultimate creative flexibility.
Metering
Fast-acting LED metering is displayed all over StudioLive for quick and easy viewing of settings, parameters, inputs levels, gain reduction, and more. Fat Channel metering displays EQ frequency, cut/boost, as well as compressor and limiter gain reduction. Main meters can be switched between a number of viewing modes including input, output, gain reduction, main mix and pan.
Talkback Communication
StudioLive has a comprehensive Talkback system that enables direct communication with each stereo aux mix separately. This allows communication between the mixer and the musicians using in-ear monitors without disturbing other performers during a performance or recording session.
22X18 FireWire Recording
StudioLive includes PreSonus' award-winning FireWire technology with JetPLL™ synchronization delivering 22 channels of recording and 18 channels of simultaneous playback. Each FireWire recording channel can be set to record either pre or post Fat-Channel signal processing giving total flexibility and power. StudioLive can also return 18 FireWire playback channels from your recording and production software for remixing and live performance with pre-recorded tracks, as well as studio mixing using the mixer's internal signal processing and summing algorithms.
Multi-Track Recording Software — Capture
StudioLive also ships with Capture multi-track recording software for Macintosh and Windows based computers. Capture software was specifically designed to interface with StudioLive perfectly and allow instant setup and recording of performances. Capture also gives the user full editing capability and export to wav file formats for complete compatibility with ProTools, Cubase, Logic, Sonar and others. With the look and feel of industry standard digital multi-track hard disk recorders, Capture is instantly familiar to every musician and engineer.
"This is the perfect mixing board for the serious band, nightclub, small church, and home studio," says Director of Marketing Brad Zell. "It opens the door to record every show, record in the studio as well as use recorded tracks during performances — bringing the cool sounds, beats, and effects to the gig."
