You can mix from anywhere!Performance perfection with ample analog and digital channel flexibilityWith 16 analog inputs, there's room for everyone in the band to be heard. At Sweetwater, we've found that you can mic a whole drum kit, give everyone a vocal mic, and still have room for keys, guitars, and more, by virtue of 16 great-sounding XMAX mic preamps (including eight locking XLR/TRS combo inputs). Whether you're playing virtual instruments, sending your drummer a click, or adding backing tracks to the mix, the 16 digital channels give you the freedom to add more depth and musical interest to your live shows. Play along with tracks that your band lays down in the studio and give your audience the multitracked-CD feel at every performance. Fat Channel DSP processing places a compressor, limiter, expander/gate, and parametric EQ on every channel. Best of all, everyone in the band has the ability to control their own monitor mix onstage, and the sound engineer is free to focus on how your band sounds out front.UC-Surface software yields total control with the touch of your fingerInspired by the best of their StudioLive console's hardware and processing, PreSonus redefines your mixing experience with the RML16AI.
