The 16-channel Presonus Studio Live 16.0.2 was unleashed at this years Musikmesse, bringing the quality of the bigger StudioLive boards to a package sizing up to less than 2' square, making it ideal for any venue or studio that is tight for space that still cares about sonic greatness. With high quality converters and 16x16 firewire interface built in it makes it ideal for both studios and live venues and offers the ability to record and mix quickly and easily with a simple firewire connection.

With 8 mono channels and 4 stereo channels, it comes with more than enough for small to medium sized venues. The 12 XMAX solid state pre-amps offer incredibly quiet, clean gain thats even enough for low output ribbon microphones.

The Presonus 16.0.2’s is stocked up with compressors, limiters, gates, phase reverse, high-pass filters, and 3-band semi-parametric EQ, as well as Two stereo 32-bit floating-point effects processors that provide the processing power needed for incredibly rich delay and reverb effects.

The Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 has been designed to make life as easy as possible for engineers, offering MIDI In and Out allowing you to recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, almost every parameter can be controlled via MIDI, allowing you to automate whole mixes at the touch of a button.

For more information on the possible applications of the Presonus Live 16.0.2 and advice on how it can be integrated into your system give our hi-tech department a call on 08455557070 or check out the Millennium Music Website for more info.

The 01V96VCM has many of the performance characteristics and features of Yamaha's highly acclaimed digital live sound consoles but in a compact design that is perfect for both home and professional setups where portability or small footprint is required. A compacy digital mixer it is but it can handle up to 40 inputs, and can be linked (cascaded) to another if more are required.

And now the 01V96 has taken a step further in its evolution to become the 01V96VCM - featuring a selection of Yamaha's unsurpassed VCM digital effects ready to use. Of course, the entire console - effects included - features 24 bit/96 kHz operation for ultimate resolution and sound quality that will satisfy the most demanding applications.

Previously available as "add-on" effect packages for top-line digital consoles, Yamaha's highly regarded VCM Channel Strip processors and REV-X reverb are now availablre as standard features on the 01V96VCM.

These incredible effects algorithms are based on innovative Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology that actually models the original analog circuitry of any particular device - right down to the last resistor and capacitor. With minute attention to detail VCM effects are capable of re-creating the subtleties of the original that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, and so going beyond simple emulation and creating a truly musical tool, reaffirming how the sound of classic analog gear is invaluable even in today's digital production environment.

Included with the 01V96VCM you get :

Channel Strip package with COMP276, COMP260, and EQ601 effects that bring vintage analog compression and EQ to life in the digital domain.

REV-X algorithm that is behind the unmatched performance of Yamaha's stand-alone SPX2000 signal processor, delivering the most natural reverb and ambience available anywhere.

Channel Strip VCM logo This compressor and EQ effects faithfully captures the unique saturation effect of analog circuitry. Includes five models that employ VCM technology to recreate the sound and characteristics of classic compression and EQ units from the 70's. Fine-tuned by leading engineers, and featuring carefully selected parameters in a simple interface.

Compressor 276 (mono) / Compressor 276S (Stereo) Compressor 276(S) Recreate the fast response, frequency characteristics, and tube-amp saturation of the most in-demand analog compressors for studio use.

Compressor 260 (mono) / Compressor 260S (Stereo) Compressor260(S) Features faithful modeling of the solid-state VCA and RMS detection circuitry of the late 70's for live sound reinforcement applications.

Equalizer 601 Channel Strip Delivers the unique characteristics of 70's analog EQ circuitry, featuring graphical editing capability on both the console and PC displays. Reverb REV-X logo These reverb effects employ the latest "REV-X" algorithms first introduced in Yamaha's SPX2000 Professional Multi Effect Processor. The REV-X programs feature the richest reverberation and smoothest decay available, based on years of dedicated research and development.

Channel Strip REV-X Hall, REV-X Room, and REV-X Plate programs are provided, with new parameters such as room size and decay envelopes that offer unprecedented definition and finer nuance control. The REV-X Hall and REV-X Room programs have a very open sound, while REV-X Plate delivers a brighter tonality that is ideal for vocals. All models deliver dense, warm reverb that does not interfere with the natural timbre of the source.
