PreSonus® StudioLive AR8c Analog Mixer
With its instantly familiar analog mixer design, the StudioLive® AR8c is the easiest way to record podcasts, livestreams, and music productions. Featuring a pristine analog front end with four high-gain XMAX mic preamps and an 8x4, 24-bit, 96 kHz, USB-C™-compatible USB 2.0 audio interface, the StudioLive AR8c's hybrid design makes it simple to mix and record. Add in tools like a musical 3-band analog EQ, mic/line boost for low-level input sources and consumer devices, Bluetooth® connectivity, a stereo SD recorder, and high-impedance instruments inputs, and you have a broadcasting and recording powerhouse that fulfills the needs of modern musicians and content creators.
Use Stereo SD to record your performances without a computer
The mixer isn't just compact and perfectly portable, it's easy to set up and offers performers the option to record their performances onboard the mixer. You read that right. You can record your live performances without the need for any external hardware. So if you're battle testing your newest stand-up routine, performing high-octane sets, or performing interviews, the AR8c will store it all for easy retrieval. This mixer supports SD and SDHC formats up to 32GB in size.

Get more out of your mixer with Super Channel
Super Channel is a completely unique concept that takes this mixer to the next level. Super Channel easily handles four stereo sources at once and can integrate your consumer devices into the mix. It has inputs for RCA, 1/8" stereo, and Bluetooth 5.0. This lets you play stereo audio from the onboard SD recorder or from a USB-connected Mac or Windows PC. And between acts at the venue, you can stream music wirelessly with Bluetooth 5.0 technology. With you at the controls, there's really nothing that Super Channel can't do.
Superior signal processing with StudioLive's channel strips
The channel strips on the StudioLive AR8c are built to help you create your best recordings to date. The mono channels can be used for mic-, line-, or instrument-level inputs, and include a highpass filter. The stereo channels feature a +10dB boost for low-output microphones and line-level sources. And each channel has a 3-band semi-parametric EQ. Additionally, the AR8c has an onboard stereo effects processor with 16 presets, a dedicated send and return, and a bypass footswitch jack. You can apply the effects to your signal in real-time with no annoying latency issues.
Superb software package included
Your purchase includes Studio One Artist and everything you need to start recording via your computer. Plus, to take your recordings to the next level, you get the Studio Magic plug-in suite. This extensive collection of popular plug-ins includes emulations of classic studio gear from legendary manufacturers, adding hundreds of dollars in extra value. Punch up your mix bus with the Brainworx bx_opto compressor, add ambient reverb with Lexicon MPX-i Reverb, fire up transients with SPL's Attacker Plus, and much more. And since these plug-ins are available in AAX, VST, and AU formats, they're compatible with any DAW.
