The new StudioLive 24.4.2 ups the ante from the 16-channel verison with 4-band fully parametric equalization and a truly studio-grade gate with Key Filter and Key Listen. Add that to each channel having its own studio-grade compressor, basic limiter, gate/expander, 4-band semi-parametric EQ, and high-pass filter and you've got one killer setup for any situation -- all in one portable device. In all, PreSonus has packed 31 compressors, 31 limiters, 31 gates, 16 high-pass filters, 2 stereo reverbs/delays, 2 master stereo graphic EQs, and more, into one remarkable Fat Channel.

Engaged by pressing any Select button, the Fat Channel of PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 features extensive equalization and dynamics for every input channel, every aux output, every subgroup output, and the main outputs. The high-pass filter and four-band semi-parametric EQ algorithms are based on PreSonus' digital EyeQ equalizer, delivering extremely musical results. Also included in the Fat Channel are limiters, plus compressors and gates modeled after PreSonus' highly-respected ACP88, providing complete dynamics control.

To let you get the most from all of this processing power without descending into menu purgatory, PreSonus designed the Fat Channel with clearly labeled physical knobs; an ingenious, multi-function, 16-ladder LED display; an in-your-face Selected Channel display; and even a separate horizontal pan display. PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 is easy to instantly access any function and get clear, visible feedback.

You get two programmable, 32-bit floating point, stereo DSP effects engines, loaded with 50 reverb, delay, and time-based effects presets that you can really use (see sidebar on page 10). The reverbs are so rich and detailed that you feel like you're there. Delays are precise. Slap echo sounds like old-skool tape effects. All 50 effects have easy-to-use parameter adjustment, tap tempo, store and recall selection for ultimate creative flexibility. The new StudioLive 24.4.2 goes hog-wild with 4 stereo 31-band graphic equalizers, which can be applied to the main, subgroup, and aux outputs.

Whether StudioLive's 94+ signal processors and 50 DSP effect presets were on gigundo channel strips, in a whopping rack of outboard gear, or neatly condensed into our Fat Channel, they have a lot of settings to remember and reset at every performance. That's where the power of digital comes in: StudioLive never forgets, thanks to complete store and recall of all mix settings for each show, service, or presentation. Never lose that perfect mix you worked so hard to achieve again!

PreSonus has also included a whole library of individual channel settings as starting points for optimizing the sound of instruments, vocals, and spoken word. And an Automatic AutoStore feature regularly saves your current settings, just in case the power fails.
