Description

The StudioLive Series III SE 16R Digital Rack Mixer delivers the power of a large format console in a compact 1U rack design that is ready for the stage, studio, or rehearsal space. With 16 recallable XMAX-R mic preamps and 18 total channels, it provides the flexibility to handle full bands, in-ear monitor systems, or hybrid live and streaming setups with confidence. Each input and bus benefits from onboard Fat Channel processing, giving you refined EQ and compression to shape a polished, professional mix.

Six configurable FlexMixes, dedicated FX mixes, and DCAs make it easy to create custom monitor sends, subgroups, or matrix mixes that fit your workflow. Integrated 18x18 USB recording and onboard stereo SD capture simplify multitrack sessions, virtual soundchecks, and quick stereo recordings without extra gear. Per-channel source switching between analog, USB, SD, and AVB allows smooth transitions between live inputs, playback tracks, and networked audio.

Designed to work seamlessly within StudioLive Series III systems, the SE 16R features Milan-certified AVB networking for straightforward integration and expansion. Wireless control through Universal Control and QMix-UC gives engineers and performers the freedom to adjust mixes from anywhere in the venue. It can operate as a standalone mixer, stagebox, audio interface, or dedicated monitor mixer, making it a versatile solution for musicians, production teams, houses of worship, and content creators alike.
