Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this unit run 32 wireless mics simultaneously?

A: This PreSonus StudioLive 32S Series III S 32-Channel Digital Mixer does have 32 mic inputs, which you can use to connect wireless microphone systems.

Q: 2. Can the Studiolive R32 stream audio to Windows 10 via Ethernet?

A: No. You will want to connect via USB to send audio from the 32R to your computer.

Q: 3. Can the 8 mic only inputs somehow be used also for line input from synthesizers? What adapter or settings are needed? There is not enough line inputs.

A: To use the mic inputs for line level input, you would need line-to-mic attenuators for each input. As another option, you could use a separate auxiliary line mixer to accommodate your synthesizers. You would connect your synths to the inputs on the aux line mixer and then connect the main output from the aux mixer to a line input on the 32SC.
