I searched around and didn't see anything on it here. I'm guessing you'd need another stage box (es) to do it.

Obviously!  The PreSonus product page is quite clear that the desk has 32 local ins, and that you use whatever combination of stageboxes you need to get to the max 64.

Quite a fader count (24+8) for such a compact surface - but the PreSonus is too out on a limb for me.

I would hazard at a guess that if you were doing a job that required 64 channels, the budget would probably be for something else.

The idea of a 64 channel PreSonus makes me think of a quintuple-wide mobile home     -F

[Jeremy Young]

haha quintuple-wide mobile....  not far from the truth, at least based on my experience with Presonus products about 10 years ago.  At least they're not trying to do it without motorized faders this time around!   

I do love the claims like "the StudioLive 64S is not just the best digital mixer for live sound recording; it’s the best digital mixer for the studio as well", "no other mixer can match its 128-channel (64x64) USB recording" and "the most powerful and flexible digital console available". 

Doesn't the Yamaha TF-series use a 64x64 Dante card?  Doesn't the Soundcraft SI Impact do something like 80 channels now?  Just to name a couple off the top of my head that don't cost a small fortune, from brands known for their mixers.

If they went on to say "in this price bracket" I'd give it to them.  But making claims like this that are so obviously false doesn't earn brownie points with me.

"In this price bracket" is something that customers tend to not readily understand when the marketing bullet-point features (input/output quantity, buses/mixes, internal FX, etc) tend to look the same.  They don't readily see the differences between a Yamaha M3000 and a PM3000, except in the price.

The rest of the marketing-speak?  Run it through a 48dB/lie Blather Filter and it comes out as:  "Our AudioThing is a lot like the rest of them or we'd say more specific things here; we'll use hyperbole instead."

[Alec Spence]

And they're still celebrating having only recently joined the moving fader market by having cheesy video of fader bank sine waves - I thought that had died out about a decade ago...

" They don't readily see the differences between a Yamaha M3000 and a PM3000, except in the price."

Well, I'd carry an M3000, but not use it.
I'd use the PM3000, but no way I want to carry it......
Can't put a price on your back.
