Our take on the Presonus StudioLive 32S

The StudioLive 32S is a 32-channel digital mixing console with 16 recallable XMAX mic preamps, 16 motorized faders and a built-in 32x32 USB audio interface. It runs PreSonus's Fat Channel processing and onboard effects, and it can be controlled from a tablet or phone over Wi-Fi through the free UC Surface app. It suits bands, churches and small venues that want a full console and a recording interface in one box. Against the Allen & Heath SQ-6 and Behringer X32, it offers more channels and faders for the size, but its app ecosystem and workflow divide opinion.
