PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 News and Reviews
PreSonus 2442 Overview
Easier to use, better sounding, and flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, it delivers the most creative environment possible for both live performance and studio music production. The Presonus StudioLive 24.4.2 features high-headroom XMAX microphone preamplifiers, a built-in FireWire recording and playback interface, more than 90 signal processors, a big library of DSP effects 10 (24.4.2) aux buses, 4 subgroups, extensive LED metering, mixer save and recall, channel-strip save/recall/copy/paste, talkback, and more.
Sit down at a StudioLive, and you see real hardware Mute and Solo buttons, trim controls, and clearly labeled, individual knobs for 4-band EQ and dynamics processing. The master section—complete with Talkback, Monitor, Cue, and a choice of control room sources—looks just like the master section on an analog board but with far more power and flexibility. Aux sends have their own physical controls. Every channel has a big, bright meter display.
The StudioLive 24.4.2 ups the ante with 4-band fully parametric equalization and a truly studio-grade gate with Key Filter and Key Listen. To let you get the most from all of this processing power without descending into menu purgatory, we designed the Fat Channel with clearly labeled physical knobs; an ingenious, multi-function, 16-ladder LED display; an in-your-face Selected Channel display; and even a separate horizontal pan display. It’s easy to instantly access any function and get clear, visible feedback.
