PreSonus StudioLive Series III SE: A New Era in Live Mixing.

In the world of live mixing, brands come and go. But there are those that steadily earn their reputation over time—not just for their sound quality, but for their reliability under pressure. PreSonus, with its well-established StudioLive line, undoubtedly belongs in that category. And now, it returns stronger than ever with the new Series III SE: a bold evolution that doesn’t just tweak technical specs but reimagines the very aesthetic and user experience of the live mixing console.

A New Era in Console Design

With the SE (Special Edition) series, PreSonus places a clear emphasis on ergonomics and user-centric design. The entire chassis has been refined into a low-profile form factor with darker tones that enhance visibility in low-light environments. A newly designed flat screen bezel with an improved user interface ensures faster, clearer access to all functions. The cylindrical encoder knobs and new fader caps add a premium feel and greater tactile precision for smoother, fatigue-free operation.

A Model for Every Setup

The Series III SE lineup includes three distinct models tailored to different needs:

• StudioLive SE 16: Ideal for tight spaces or rackmount installations, featuring 16 preamps, 17 faders, 10 mix outputs, and Main L/R + Mono.
• StudioLive SE 24: Designed for more demanding productions, offering 32 preamps, 25 faders, and 16 mix outputs.
• StudioLive SE 32: The flagship model, with 33 faders, 32 preamps, and the same generous output array—perfect for large-scale live productions.

All three models deliver 40 mix channels and 26 mix buses, giving engineers full control in a streamlined, space-saving footprint.

Upgraded Firmware, Expanded Capabilities

Alongside the launch of the SE series, PreSonus has released a major firmware update available across the entire StudioLive digital mixer ecosystem. Whether you’re an existing user or stepping into the SE series for the first time, the new features elevate the entire platform:

• 7 EQ models and 8 compressor types within the Fat Channel
• Improved Limiter with variable release settings
• Extended parameter set for Digital Reverb XL
• All-new reverb presets for realistic spatial effects
• Milan certification for advanced AVB audio networking
• Over 40 performance enhancements and bug fixes

The Freedom of Networked Sound

The SE series is more than just hardware—it’s part of an interconnected ecosystem. Thanks to tight integration with Studio One Pro and Capture, multitrack recording becomes seamless. The onboard SD card slot even allows for standalone recording—no computer needed.

With the Universal Control app, users can mix from any device, anywhere in the room. And for remote mixing beyond the venue, PreSonus Metro introduces a groundbreaking capability: real-time remote mixing over the internet. Whether you're teaching, collaborating across distances, or running hybrid productions, the StudioLive SE gives you the power to stay connected.
