PreSonus® unveiled its new StudioLive™ AVB Mix Systems, which combine one or
two StudioLive RM-series rack mixers, a StudioLive CS18AI Ethernet/AVB control
surface, and integrated control, recording, and production software. Scalable, fully
recallable, networked over AVB Ethernet, and tightly integrated with included
software, the StudioLive AVB Mix Systems put your I/O in an onstage, rack-mount
mixing system with an integrated recording interface, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet
networking, while providing an advanced control surface at front-of-house with 18
touch-sensitive, motorized faders and 4×2 I/O.
Four systems are available: The StudioLive AVB 16AI Mix System, with one
StudioLive RM16AI mixer; StudioLive AVB 32AI Mix System, with one StudioLive
RM32AI; StudioLive AVB 48AI Mix System, with one of each RM model, cascaded to
form a 48-input, 64-channel system; and StudioLive AVB 64AI Mix System, with two
cascaded StudioLive RM32AIs for a 64-input system. You also can start with a
single-mixer AVB Mix System and expand it later by cascading a second RM-series
mixer. Both mixers in a cascaded AVB Mix System can be controlled from the
StudioLive CS18AI and from UC Surface touch-control software.
Equipped with 100 mm, touch-sensitive, motorized faders and AVB networking, the
StudioLive CS18AI control surface provides a compact, intuitive mixing solution for
StudioLive RM32AI rack-mount digital mixers and for Studio One® 3 digital audio
workstation, which is included with all AVB Mix Systems. The CS18AI and RM
mixers connect to the network with CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable, eliminating the
need for cumbersome analog or digital snakes and stage boxes.
StudioLive AVB 64AI Mix Systems are tightly integrated with an entire suite of
state-of-the-art software, including UC Surface mix-control software for Mac,
Windows, and iPad®; QMix™-AI monitor-mix control app for iPhone®/iPod® touch;
Capture™ live recording software; and Studio One Artist. It adds up to a powerful
mix control system with a fast, intuitive workflow and the latest networking
technology.
An associated firmware update for RM-series mixers adds a new Stage Box mode
that lets you use StudioLive RM-series mixers as simple I/O devices in conjunction
with StudioLive AI-series consoles. Simultaneous updates to the StudioLive CS18AI
and Capture 2 recording software add remote control of Capture from a CS18AI and
UC Surface so you can control virtual soundcheck, transport, and Record arm; drop
markers; and keep an eye on record times from anywhere in the venue. The
updates also provide advanced networking features, performance improvements
and bug fixes for StudioLive AI consoles, RM-series mixers, CS18AI, UC Surface,
and Capture.
