Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 16R - 16-Channel Digital Stagebox with 8 Line Outputs and MADI Card for Si/Vi Sereies Consoles in Black Finish

The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 16R is a compact 16-channel digital stagebox designed to expand the I/O capabilities of Soundcraft Si and Vi Series consoles, offering a streamlined and cost-effective solution for stage connectivity. Housed in a sleek 2U rack-mountable chassis, this stagebox provides 16 recallable mic/line inputs and 8 balanced line outputs, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized venues, touring setups, or studio environments where additional inputs and outputs are required. The Mini Stagebox 16R is part of Soundcraft's ViSi Connect range, which ensures seamless integration with the Si/Vi series consoles via a MADI card.

The Mini Stagebox 16R connects to any compatible Soundcraft console using an approved Cat 5 cable through its built-in MADI interface, allowing for a single-cable connection to the mixing console, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter on stage. With the ability to operate hundreds of meters away from the console, it serves as a remote stage solution that delivers pristine audio quality while offering the flexibility to place the stagebox exactly where it's needed. This unit is designed to expand I/O capabilities both locally or at a distance, without the need for complex modular setups, making it an easy plug-and-play solution for both permanent installations and live events.

Equipped with an internal power supply (PSU), the Mini Stagebox 16R is a self-contained unit that can be placed comfortably at the side of the stage or in a rack, without the need for additional external components. It is designed with 16 analogue mic/line inputs that feature high-quality recallable preamps, delivering professional-grade sound quality. The 8 balanced line outputs provide routing flexibility, whether you're sending signals to monitors, amplifiers, or recording devices. The I/O configuration is directly inspired by the larger Vi1 and Compact Stagebox models, ensuring top-tier performance in a smaller, more cost-effective unit.

The Mini Stagebox 16R supports a 48kHz sample rate and features 24-bit converters to maintain high-resolution audio throughout the signal path. With a low latency of just 1.5ms, this stagebox ensures that your live audio system operates with minimal delay, making it an ideal solution for both FOH and monitor mixing applications. The MADI connection ensures high-speed, reliable digital audio transmission with no signal degradation, even over long distances, making the Mini Stagebox 16R a perfect solution for expanding input/output channels without sacrificing audio quality.

Designed for reliability in various environments, the Mini Stagebox 16R has a durable construction and operates within a wide temperature range of -10°C to +50°C, ensuring performance in demanding conditions. Its compact 2U design fits neatly into standard equipment racks, making it suitable for portable touring rigs as well as fixed installations. Additionally, its lightweight nature makes it easy to transport, set up, and integrate into any audio system with minimal hassle.
