Designed to work with the PreSonus StudioLive Series III family of mixers, as well as other AVB-enabled systems, the PreSonus EarMix 16M 16x2 AVB-networked personal monitor mixer provides a high-quality, expandable, networked monitoring solution for stage, installed sound systems, and studio recording.

Part of PreSonus’ ecosystem of AVB-networked products, each EarMix 16M accepts 16 mono channels of input via AVB networking – multiple units can be networked using a StudioLive Series III mixer. The headphone amplifier can drive low-impedance devices such as professional in-ear-monitors, while channel grouping and stereo channel linking support custom mixes for each musician. Limiting and three-band EQ with sweepable midrange frequency can be applied to each channel, as well as to the main mix. Scenes can be saved to internal memory; up to 16 mix scenes can be stored and recalled locally.

The EarMix 16M can be powered with its included external power supply but in many cases – such as when it’s difficult to provide power across multiple onstage locations – Power over Ethernet (PoE), enables network cables to carry electrical power to compatible devices.

A pair of AVB jacks enable you to chain multiple EarMix 16Ms while also connecting to a StudioLive Series III mixer. The system can be expanded further by chaining EarMix 16Ms from multiple PreSonus SW5E AVB switches. Once an AVB network has been created, setting up EarMix 16M routings from a networked StudioLive Series III console or using free PreSonus UC Surface control software for Mac, Windows, iPad and Android is quick and easy.

EarMix 16M will be available in Q1 2018, with an anticipated street price of US$399.95.
