PreSonus EarMix 16M Personal Monitor Mixer with Pro Tools Studio for Students & Teachers

Designed to work seamlessly with the PreSonus StudioLive Series III family of mixers, yet compatible with other AVB-enabled systems, the PreSonus EarMix™ 16M personal monitor mixer provides a high-quality, expandable, networked monitoring solution for stage, installed sound systems, and studio recording. We gave EarMix 16M fully professional sound quality, build quality, and features, including a high-performance headphone amplifier, to ensure you have the monitoring you need for any situation. Each EarMix 16M accepts 16 mono channels of input via AVB networking – and you can network multiple units with a StudioLive Series III mixer.

High-quality monitoring is crucial for artists to deliver their best performance, so we've given the EarMix 16M a loud, clear headphone amplifier that can drive low-impedance devices such as professional-caliber in-ear-monitors. We started with a top of the line digital-to-analog converter for the best dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio. We took special care in the amplifier design to deliver excellent sound with a wide range of in-ear monitors and headphones with different impedances. Controls and inputs can be customized on each unit to allow each musician to create a mix that works best for them. Once you've perfected a set of monitor mixes, save the whole scene to internal memory; you can store and recall up to 16 mix scenes locally.

Audio networking is much more than just a way to connect a digital snake. With an AVB network, you can connect digital audio devices over long distances using CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable and route your audio anywhere on the network with extremely low latency. AVB offers several unique benefits that make it a better choice for audio than other networking protocols. For example, AVB provides a high-precision clock that significantly reduces harmonic distortion and phasing, ensuring your audio stays clear and clean. AVB ensures you always have enough bandwidth to carry your low latency audio – even when your intern starts streaming a movie. These important benefits are an inherent part of AVB; you don't need to do anything special to your devices or AVB switch. And you can only get them with AVB.

Features include:

• 16x2 AVB-networked personal monitor mixer
• Loud, clear headphone amp that can drive low-impedance in-ear monitors
• 3-band EQ and limiter on all channels and main mix
• Stereo channel linking and channel grouping
• Support for PoE power
• 2 AVB Ethernet ports; network up to 24 units with a StudioLive Series III mixer

Other Features include:

PoE: Remote Power for Networked Devices
The EarMix 16M can be powered with its included external power supply or over the same Ethernet connection that’s used for AVB network audio. Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE), a single cable delivers both digital audio and electrical power. While compatible with any AVB switch that provides PoE, PreSonus’ SW5E five-port AVB switch enables you to connect multiple EarMix 16Ms to the AVB network and provides PoE.

A Complete Networked Solution
The StudioLive Series III ecosystem of networked products are at the forefront of AVB networking technology. Designed to complement each other, the ecosystem is easily expanded and quickly configured. The EarMix 16M adds simple personal monitoring that can be located anywhere on the network.

The Ultimate Monitoring System
When combined with a StudioLive Series III rack mixer, the EarMix 16M becomes a complete personal monitoring solution that can be added to any mixing system. Simply connect the outputs of your installed mixer to the StudioLive, route audio via AVB to your EarMix, and you’ll have independent reverb, compression, and more to your monitoring system.
