Question

I'm wondering why I should buy a StudioLive RML16AI (or 32) instead of the new StudioLive 16, 24, or 32R

What separates the  2 models ? The new 16R is cheaper than the RML16

Thanks

Hey Mathieu,

Thanks for your interest in our rack mixers! Here's a few differences for you:

Series III Rack Mixers:

• Combo jacks/line inputs on every input
• USB 2.0
• Recording over AVB
• On-board stereo SD Card recording
• TRS Mix Outputs
• 48kHz Sampling Rate
• Smaller size (a 16R is 1U whereas an RML16AI is 3U; a 32R is 2U whereas an RML32AI is 4U)

RML Series Rack Mixers:

• FireWire 800 (which can be converted to Thunderbolt using the Apple adapter)
• Option card slot for a Dante option card
• XLR Mix Outputs
• DB25 Outputs for your mix outputs
• Dedicated mono output
• 96kHz Sampling Rate
• Meters on the front of the unit for every channel
• Expandable (cascading up to 64 channels with two mixers)
