With its instantly familiar analog mixer design, the StudioLive AR8c is an easy way to record podcasts, livestreams and music productions. Featuring a pristine analog front end with four high-gain XMAX-L mic preamps and an 8x4, 24-bit, 96kHz, USB-C-compatible USB 2.0 audio interface, the StudioLive AR8c’s hybrid design makes it simple to mix and record.

Add in tools like a musical 3-band analog EQ, mic/line boost for low-level input sources and consumer devices, Bluetooth connectivity, a stereo SD recorder and high-impedance instruments inputs, and you have a broadcasting and recording powerhouse that fulfills the needs of modern musicians and content creators.
