Our StudioLive™ 24.4.2 and 16.4.2 changed the game, offering amazing performance and ease of use for a great price. Now we’ve packed the same audio quality, performance, seamlessly integrated software (including remote control) into a smaller, even more affordable package.
In a “footprint” of less than 2 square feet (0.19 m2), the compact, 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels and 4 stereo channels and provides 12 XMAX™ Class A solid-state mic preamps. (Well, okay, it actually has 13 XMAX preamps; the Talkback input has one, too.)

But don't let its size fool you; the 16.0.2 is jam-packed with features and processing power, employs the same workflow and easy-to-use mixing-surface design as the bigger StudioLive boards, and sounds every bit as good, with the same high-definition, wide-dynamic-range, digital converters.

The 16.0.2 integrates a 16x16 FireWire interface and comes with Capture™, Studio One Artist™ recording and production software, and Virtual StudioLive, bidirectional control software, and it works great with our free SL Remote iPad and iPhone control apps.
The 16.0.2 integrated software system details
The 16.0.2's Fat Channel is well stocked with compressors, limiters, gates, phase reverse, high-pass filters, and 3-band semi-parametric EQ. Two stereo, 32-bit floating-point effects processors deliver delay and reverb effects.

Moreover, a glance at the rear panel reveals that "Junior" offers something the two bigger boards don't: MIDI In and Out. You can recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, and even mute effects between songs—all thanks to the magic of MIDI control.
Two factors work against getting that Perfect Mix with an analog mixer.
First, the Perfect Mix can be hard to reproduce a week, day, or hour after you
perfect it. And second, a good mix should be dynamic: levels, effects, and EQ
should be tailored to each song or segment of the show, service, or
presentation.
StudioLive solves this problem by letting you save all of your
digital settings for quick setup and recall.
Watch the 16.0.2 overview video at the upper left side of this page. Then,
because the 16.0.2 has so much in common with our other StudioLive mixers, watch
some of the other 60+ videos about how to use our StudioLive series. You find
them on the 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 product pages…or search for “StudioLive” on YouTube
and Vimeo.
Better yet, use our WHERE TO BUY to locate your
nearest PreSonus dealer.
Because nothing beats actually getting your hands
on a StudioLive digital mixer. You’ll see what we mean about intuitive
ease-of-use. You’ll hear what we mean about Class A preamps, rich DSP effects,
and overall sound quality.
You'll come to believe in StudioLive family
values. And you'll understand why StudioLive 16.0.2 is the most exciting new,
small-format digital mixer on the planet.
Computer system requirements:
Below are the minimum
computer-system requirements for your StudioLive
16.0.2.
Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and
speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your
recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM)
will allow for lower latency (signal delay) that you might experience while
monitoring audio or MIDI signals.
Monitor resolution for both PC and
Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
