Small mixer – big power

The StudioLive SE 16 is a 40-channel digital mixer in a compact, rack-mountable format. Featuring 16 recallable XMAX-R preamps and vintage-style EQ and compression on every channel and bus, it delivers studio-grade performance in a portable design. Expandable from 16 to 36 inputs via AVB connection.

Flexible mixing

16 FlexMixes configurable as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes. Matrix mixes include all 40 inputs and buses, ideal for frontfills, sidefills, or broadcast mixes. Additionally, 24 DCA groups, 4 subgroups, and 4 FX mixes with stereo returns and onboard effects are included.

Recording and integration
