  • Our take on the Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2

    The StudioLive 16.0.2 is a 16-channel digital mixing console with 8 mono mic inputs, 4 stereo channels, motorized faders and a built-in USB 2.0 audio interface. It records and plays back multitrack audio to a computer while running PreSonus's Fat Channel processing, compression, reverb and delay on every input. It suits small bands, churches and project studios that want fader recall and DAW integration in one desk. Against the Behringer X32 and Allen & Heath Qu-16 it is smaller and simpler, but it has fewer inputs and no subgroups, so larger shows outgrow it quickly.

    What reviewers say

    • 4.4 / 549 ratings

    Owners rate it well for its fader recall and Studio One integration at a compact size. Complaints centre on limited routing and a learning curve for the software side.

    • FadersPraisedOwners like that motorized faders bring back a saved mix instantly.
    • PreampsPraisedReviewers call the mic preamps clean and quiet for the price class.
    • RoutingCriticisedUsers say the lack of subgroups limits how they group instruments.
    • SoftwareMixedStudio One integration is valued, but setup and drivers take patience.
    • EQCriticisedThe 3-band EQ is seen as basic next to larger digital desks.

    Questions and answers

    Does it record multitrack to a computer?
    Yes. It works as a USB 2.0 audio interface and sends each channel to your DAW for multitrack recording.
    Can it be controlled from a tablet?
    Yes. The StudioLive app gives wireless control of mixes and Fat Channel settings over Wi-Fi.
    How many microphones can I plug in?
    Eight mono channels have mic preamps with phantom power. The four stereo channels are line-level.
    Does it have subgroups?
    No. It has no subgroups, so grouping channels means using the aux and main mixes instead.
    Is it good for a small live band?
    Yes, if you need around a dozen inputs and want fader recall. Bigger shows need more inputs and subgroups.
    Does it work with DAWs other than Studio One?
    Yes. It works as a standard USB audio interface, though deep integration is best in Studio One.
