There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
With this sweet digital/analog hybrid mixer, I can record and edit in Studio One and master music. Indeed, with the StudioLive AR16c, I literally have no more excuses to not make music.
I tried repeatedly to contact Presonus' customer support but always got a message about extremely high call volumes and COVID 19. Then I was invited to contact them via e-mail. I only received automated responses. Never a human being who might actually been able to help.
I finally sent the unit to Asurion . After waiting nearly a month I received a voice mail telling me my equipment was still under factory warranty and was being sent to Presonus. God only knows how long they'll futz with it.
Sorry for a negative review but I am not at all happy with Presonus or Amazon for their handling of this situation.

Die Verarbeitungsqualität von Gehäuse, Potis und Tastern ist okay. Nach inzwischen 2 Jahren Nutzung, sind ein paar Potis (auffällig bei Pan) etwas schwergängig geworden, funktionieren aber trotzdem noch gut.
Ich hatte zum Teil ziemliche Probleme mit der USB Verbindung zum Computer. Ständig ist hat sich die Verbindung neu aufgebaut. Teilweise ging es über Tage/Wochen gut, manchmal gab es alle 60 Sekunden einen Reconnect.
Die Lösung war sehr simpel: Das mitgelieferte USB-C Kabel hatte einen Wackelkontakt. Anderes Kabel -> Alles ist super.
Beim Funktionsumfang vermisse ich eine Post Fader Einstellung für den einen Aux Ausspielweg. Dieser ist fest auf Pre Fader konfiguriert.
