The XMAX mic preamps add clarity and a natural warmth to your microphones delivering a professional sound. The three band EQ on each channel allows you to dial in your sound as well as blending the sounds of multiple inputs together creating a great mix.

This comes in handy particularly in podcasting and streaming. An onboard effects processor lets you add high-quality reverb, delay, or chorus to any channel for a professional monitor mix.

Once the great mix is achieved the stereo SD card recorder and audio interface features of the StudioLive AR8c complete the experience. The StudioLive AR8c audio interface operates at up to 96 kHz for high-definition mixing and recording. Record each of the six inputs, plus the main mix. With a USB-C compatible connection, your StudioLive AR8c is ready to use as an audio interface for nearly any computer. For a quick capture of your mix or session the SD recorder features a simple operation allowing for a recording of the main mix without a computer connection. Perfect for mobile applications.
