The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32R is a compact, cost-effective digital stagebox designed to enhance the input/output (I/O) capabilities of Soundcraft Si and Vi series consoles. With its robust feature set, the Mini Stagebox 32R provides an affordable solution for stage connectivity without the need for the complex modularity of larger systems. It's the perfect choice for small to mid-sized venues, touring setups, and live sound applications that require flexible I/O options and high audio quality. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Soundcraft's Si Expression, Si Compact, Si Performer, Si Series, and Vi Series consoles, the Mini Stagebox 32R offers unmatched versatility and professional-grade sound performance.
The Mini Stagebox 32R provides 32 recallable mic/line inputs, 8 balanced line outputs, and 4 pairs of AES outputs, effectively creating a 32x16 matrix. It connects to the host console via a MADI card, enabling up to 32 channels of high-quality audio transmission over a single Cat 5 cable. This streamlined connection method ensures minimal cable clutter and easy setup, while its compact 3U rackmount form factor makes it a space-saving solution for stage-side or rack installations. The MADI interface also supports redundant cabling, providing reliability and peace of mind for live sound professionals working in mission-critical environments.
The Mini Stagebox 32R is part of the ViSi Connect range of Soundcraft's interface solutions, offering extensive flexibility for expanding the I/O of your digital mixing system. It features an internal power supply (PSU), making it a self-contained unit that can operate independently without additional external components. This design allows for simple and efficient deployment, particularly in situations where the modularity of larger stageboxes is not required. Despite its compact size, the Mini Stagebox 32R delivers high-quality audio performance, with 24-bit converters and a 48kHz sample rate ensuring pristine sound and low latency (just 1.5ms) for real-time audio processing.
Built with reliability and ease of use in mind, the Mini Stagebox 32R inherits the professional-grade performance and design from Soundcraft's larger Vi6 and Compact Stagebox models. It provides recallable mic preamps with integrated gain control, ensuring consistent sound quality and allowing you to quickly adapt to different performance needs. The AES outputs offer additional flexibility for digital connections, making the Mini Stagebox 32R suitable for both analogue and digital sound systems. It is designed without a fan, making it ideal for applications where quiet operation is critical, such as in studio settings, theatrical performances, or conference environments.
The Mini Stagebox 32R is a versatile addition to any Soundcraft digital mixing console setup, providing the necessary I/O for live sound, studio recording, and broadcast applications. With its robust construction, reliable performance, and seamless integration with Soundcraft's MADI-enabled consoles, this stagebox is an ideal solution for expanding your audio system's capabilities, whether it's for live sound on stage or in a remote recording situation.
