An ideal partner for your StudioLive Series III console/recorder (sold separately), the PreSonus StudioLive 24R Series III 26-input, 32-channel Series III stage box and rack mixer can serve both as a simple stage box or as a combination stage box and monitor mixer. You can connect your StudioLive 24R to a Series III front-of-house console with a single lightweight CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable since they can both network via AVB. This eliminates the need for a heavy, expensive copper snake—as well as the signal degradation that happens with long analog cable runs. You even have remote control over the StudioLive 24R's preamps and phantom power from your networked Series III console. In stage box + monitor mixer mode, the StudioLive 24R not only serves as an exceptional networked stage box, it'll act as a full-blown monitor mixer much more processing and mixing power than any mixer in its class—and all packed into only two rackspaces (2RU).
