PreSonus has released two StudioLive RML-series models offering line-level inputs in addition to the XLR mic inputs found in the RM series. Otherwise, the new RML-series and the RM-series mixers are identical, with the same recallable XMax preamps and up to 96kHz operation.
Designed for live-sound mixing and studio recording, StudioLive RML16AI and RML32AI mixers provide 32 internal channels and 25 buses, a 52x34 FireWire 800 recording interface, AVB Ethernet networking, and Fat Channel signal processing on all input channels and all buses, including a 4-band parametric EQ, compressor, gate and limiter. The my be controlled using UC Surface touch-control software for Mac, Windows and iPad, and by the StudioLive CS18AI AVB control surface, which provides motorised faders.
Using AVB Ethernet networking, any two StudioLive RML and RM mixers can be linked to create larger mixing systems. Both mixers in the expanded systems can be controlled from a StudioLive CS18AI, from UC Surface, and from Studio One.
A Stage Box mode enables StudioLive RML mixers to be used as remote I/O devices in conjunction with StudioLive AI-series consoles – as simple I/O, bypassing the internal mixer, or as a monitor mixer and remote I/O.
In addition to UC Surface touch control software, the rackmount mixers come with integrated Capture recording software for Mac and Windows, with true Virtual Soundcheck mode; and Studio One 3 Artist DAW for Mac and Windows. PreSonus’ free QMix-AI aux-mix control software for iPhone/iPod touch enables musicians to control their own monitor mixes.
StudioLive RML-series rack-mount mixers are available immediately with MAP/street prices of StudioLive RML16AI US$1,199.95 and StudioLive RML32AI US$1,799.
