Presonus StudioLive AR8c

With its classic analogue mixing console design, the StudioLive® AR8c allows you to easily create podcasts, live streams and music productions. With its flawless analogue input section featuring eight overload-resistant XMAX mic preamps; and 8x4 USB-C compatible 24-bit/96kHz USB 2.0 audio interface, the StudioLive AR12c hybrid mixer makes mixing and recording straightforward with a single intuitive console. With additional features such as a musical 3-band analogue EQ, mic/line boost for low-level broadcast microphones and hi-fi devices, Bluetooth® technology and a stereophonic SD recorder, it presents itself as a powerful, modern broadcast and recording system for the production of digital music content.

The StudioLive AR8c audio interface enables high-resolution mixing and recording at up to 96 kHz. Record any of the six inputs as well as the master mix for even more recording options. Play back up to four streams for monitoring pre-recorded tracks and utilise features such as sound effects, audio feedback and much more. Four highly acclaimed XMAX mic preamps provide the gain reserves needed to convey even the most subtle details without adding noise. The analogue mixer front end allows you to intuitively connect your devices to your computer. With a USB-C compatible connection, your StudioLive AR8c can be used as an audio interface for almost any computer.

The unique Super Channel can handle four stereo sources simultaneously, making it easy to integrate consumer devices into your studio workflow. Connect a turntable to the RCA inputs, use the stereo input to connect your smartphone or skip the cable and connect via Bluetooth wireless technology instead. You can also switch between a stereo playback stream from your computer and playback from the integrated SD recorder to easily add bumpers and sound effects to your podcast in real time or practice live to your favourite tracks.
