Question

Hi

I have an original StudioLive 16.4.2 (non-Ai) mixer.

The unit freezes up, loses it's entire audio output at random times. Shutting power off and turning it back on fixes the issues temporarily. Setting are not affected on the scene

This is unfortunately something I learned in a very bad live situation! Brutal. Whole band goes dead except drums.

Have you heard of this before?

I am trying to update my firmware (1.50a)  (build 188). Perhaps this would help

I notice there is no usb on my board, How do update? would this fix this issue of the power reset.?

Love the product and bought it legitimately, it is not used. I have proof. I purchased a few years ago now though.

Would love to get this working properly again

Thanks

Id really appreciate a response

Answer 2

The freezing problem is a known problem of the original SL series and there is NOTHING you as user can do. Updates WILL NOT HELP, because it is a technical problem. You need to send the board to the doctors in Baton Rouge. Open a ticket in your PreSonus account. The board needs to be registered to get repaired.
