Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32i - 32-Channel Digital Stagebox with 12 Line Outputs and Remote Controlled I/O in Black Finish

The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32i is a professional-grade 32-channel digital stagebox designed to expand the input and output capabilities of Soundcraft Si-series mixing consoles. With 32 remote-controlled mic preamps and 12 XLR analog line outputs, the Mini Stagebox 32i offers exceptional sound quality and versatile I/O connectivity for live sound engineers, bands, houses of worship, and corporate installations. Ideal for replacing bulky, expensive analog snakes, this stagebox provides multi-channel MADI I/O via a single Cat5 Ethernet cable, making it an efficient and streamlined solution for both small and large venues.

Equipped with renowned Studer-designed mic preamps, the Mini Stagebox 32i delivers warm and rich sound, ensuring high-fidelity audio for live performances, recordings, and broadcasts. The 32 mic preamps and 12 outputs make it suitable for connecting to house and stage monitors, recording devices, or broadcast feeds. This stagebox provides a simple and cost-effective way to expand the I/O capacity of your setup, offering seamless integration with Soundcraft Si-series consoles such as the Si Impact, Si Performer, and Si Expression.

The Mini Stagebox 32i is designed with practicality in mind. Its 3U rack-mountable form factor makes it portable and easy to transport, while the Cat5 connectivity allows up to 100 meters (328 feet) of distance between the stage and mixing console. This eliminates the need for heavy, analog snakes, reducing setup time and complexity. No additional hardware or configuration is required; the Mini Stagebox 32i comes pre-fitted with MADI over RJ45 connectors, allowing users to simply plug it in, power it on, and control the inputs and outputs remotely using a Soundcraft Si console.

This stagebox is perfect for situations requiring a high channel count with reliable performance. It can be used in conjunction with a Soundcraft Si console to expand the number of inputs without affecting the existing console inputs. For even greater flexibility, users can add a second stagebox to the system by using an additional MADI option card, allowing for up to 80 mixing channels. This configuration provides incredible scalability, making it ideal for live sound applications that require versatile I/O options and precise control.

The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32i delivers more than just audio connectivity; it ensures professional-grade performance, reliability, and ease of use. The design is robust and fanless, making it suitable for environments where silent operation is a priority, such as theaters, broadcast studios, and houses of worship. With high-quality digital converters and precise audio performance, this stagebox is a critical component for those looking to enhance their live sound or recording setups without compromising on sound quality.
