Don't be fooled: The StudioLive® AR16c may look like an ordinary analogue mixer, but it was developed specifically for recording. With a premium analogue front end, 12 XMAX mic preamps with high gain reserves and a USB-C compatible 18x4 USB 2.0 audio interface with 24 bit and 96 kHz, the hybrid design allows easy recording and simultaneous mixing of studio productions and live shows via a single, intuitive console. With additional features such as a musical 3-band analogue EQ, mic/line boost for low-level vintage synthesizers and broadcast microphones, a brand new digital effects section with rich reverbs and lush delays, Bluetooth® technology, a stereophonic SD recorder etc., it presents itself as a powerful, modern recording system for the production of music digital content.

The StudioLive AR16c audio interface enables high-resolution mixing and recording at up to 96 kHz. Record any of the 16 inputs as well as the master mix for even more recording options. Play back up to four streams for monitoring pre-recorded tracks - plus one click. Twelve highly acclaimed XMAX mic preamps provide the gain reserves needed to convey even the most subtle details without adding noise. The analogue mixer front end allows you to intuitively connect your devices to your computer and create monitor mixes quickly and intuitively. With a USB-C compatible connection, your StudioLive AR16c can be used as an audio interface for almost any computer.

The unique Super Channel can handle four stereo sources simultaneously, making it easy to integrate consumer devices into your studio workflow. Connect a turntable to the RCA inputs, use the stereo input to connect your smartphone or skip the cable and connect via Bluetooth wireless technology instead. You can also switch between a stereo playback stream from your computer and playback from the built-in SD recorder, making band rehearsal a breeze.
