PreSonus StudioLive AR8c

A compact mixer with sophisticated featuresThe Presonus StudioLive AR8c packs a clever combination of analogue and digital features into a compact mixing desk that is built like a standard small analogue mixer with eight channels but houses a digital effects processor with 16 reverb, delay, and chorus effects as well as an SD card recorder/player and a fully-fledged USB audio interface under the bonnet. And as an added bonus, the AR8c also has a built-in Bluetooth 5 receiver, and it additionally features four XMAX microphone preamps of the same kind that Presonus uses in its high-end studio equipment. Despite its diminutive dimensions, the AR8c can absolutely be used to create high-quality audio content, be it in the form of music, podcasts, or live streams for a YouTube channel.
