General
The RM32AI by PreSonus is an innovative mixing system that can be controlled using computers and tablets instead of large mixing consoles. With 32 inputs and 16 outputs, this mixer is perfect for stage and studio use. It's also equipped with a Firewire connector and each channel can be recorded separately. Everything is contained in a handy, 19-inch 4U housing. Operating the RM32AI can be done with a LAN or a WiFi connection and of course, the quality is excellent.
PreSonus RM32AI: digital possibilities
Where traditional mixers needed lots of external equipment, the RM32AI does everything internally via DSPs. These processors take care of everything so you're not dependant on the speed of your computer. There are enough DSPs to provide each channel with two Fat EQs, a compressor, a limiter and a gate. Even after all that, there's still enough processing power for four FX engines and fifteen graphic equalizers. The RM32AI features PreSonus' own high-quality XMAX Class A preamplifiers. 48-volt phantom power is available per channel and all setting can be saved and recalled quickly and easily.
Operation and possibilities
This mixer offers a number of possibilities that simply aren't achievable using a traditional mixing console; for instance, it allows you to lsiten to the sound from various areas of a location and make immediate adjustments using a tablet. It also enables individual musicians to connect to the rack using a tablet or smartphone to adjust their own monitor sound. You can even do a virtual soundcheck by easily recording and playing back a track, then adjusting the sound accordingly based on what you hear. These are just some of the possibilities that make this mixer ideal for live music or studio applications.

Aanpassingen zijn snel gemaakt. Heb iedereen (5 bandleden) een eigen stereomix gegeven met kanaalaanduiding, naam en headphoon kanaal nummer. Alles is hierdoor snel en gemakkelijk terug te vinden.
Enkele belangrijke voordelen: schitterend klinkende pre-amps, bediening is prettig, vlot en redelijk goed doordacht, fijn werkende EQ's en compressors, robuust gebouwd apparaat, alles gebalanceerd, live mixen klinken als een dijk, 32 input's en 16 aux/subgroep plus 3 main output's met een iPod input maken de I/O compleet, geen overbodige fratsen, stille voeding zonder ventilator.
Met toch wat nadelen: input's zijn niet te delayen voor tijdcorrecties - alleen een delay op 4 aux output's te zetten, ingebouwde effecten cheap en reverb geluidskwalitatief slecht (zie uit naar toekomstig gebruik plugin effecten via AVB en laptop) , gebruikersinterface in de diverse software mag nog wat genuanceerder, het is grijs en donker zonder al te veel herkennende kleuren, weinig contrast op het gebruikersinterface waardoor met helder weer het zéér moeilijk is om de mixer te bedienen met een touchscreen zoals een iPad. Het heeft niet zo zeer met de mixer zelf te maken en de software valt allemaal te verbeteren maar toch... het duur allemaal ter-gend-laaaaaangzaam eer er wat gebeurt. Echter het geduld wordt wel beloofd want het zijn toffe jongens bij PreSonus die alles ook best goed voor elkaar willen hebben.
Op meerdere locaties heb ik problemen gehad met het aansturen via alleen iPad's, waarbij de mixer slecht reageerde. Een uitbreiding met een CS18AI met een bedrade ethernet verbinding om niet alleen afhankelijk te zijn van de kwaliteit van een WiFi verbinding is zeer aan te raden.
Al met al kan ik deze mixer goed aanbevelen. 4 van de 5 sterren wat betreft de mogelijkheden ongeacht de prijs, 5 van de 5 als je alleen kijkt wat je krijgt voor het geld.
Daarnaast werkt de Capture software voor multitrack recording niet 100%, de afzonderlijke kanalen worden wel opgenomen, maar de L/R bus niet. Dus een snelle L/R opname is er gewoon nog niet bij. Capture blijkt nog niet aangepast te zijn aan de RM32.
