There’s an even fatter Fat Channel on the 24.4.2 with a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a truly studio-grade gate with Key Filter and Key Listen. It also has a dedicated Limiting threshold switch. Mixing flexibility is significantly increased by adding 4 more aux buses to the 16.4.2’s 6 for a total of 10 aux sends for effects, monitors, etc.

The new 24.4.2 adds to the 16.4.2’s single graphic EQ by having 4 stereo 31-band graphic equalizers, which can be applied to the main, subgroup, and aux outputs with a dedicated master graphic EQ switch.

Of course, StudioLive consoles are now bundled with Studio One Artist, the amazing new DAW software with 20 new PreSonus Native Effects plug-ins and virtual instruments and a generous bundle of third-party loops, software, and instrument sounds.    Shipping Spring 2010.
