Behringer S16 16-input / 8-output Digital Stage Box

Full Description

Expansive Connectivity

The S16 has been developed to be easily integrated as part of a complete X32 system. Two S16s can be used in conjunction via the built-in AES50 ports, providing up to 32 mic/line inputs and 16 balanced outputs. Also included in the S16 is 2 optical ADAT sockets for connecting channels 1 - 8 and 9 - 16 to outboard devices plus a USB Port for system updated via your computer. Also featured is a MIDI I/O for lighting system and outboard midi controllers.

Standalone Mode

This unit was designed to be used in conjunction with the X32 digital mixing console but Behringer has catered for other popular mixing boards with the AES50 networking capability. This is a vital feature when it comes to connecting outboard mixing consoles and different setups. As an example, if you require an analog board, you can join together a couple of S16s and ADA8200S to create a powerful, lightweight 16 x 16 digital snake.

P-16 Personal Monitoring System Integration

The Powerplay P-16 system is designed to provide a seamless, affordable solution to giving artists control over what they want to hear. The S16 lets you connect directly to the Powerplay P-16 unit, giving the artist their own control over their overall sound, letting you work in conjunction with the artist to achieve the perfect combination between the engineers and the artists needs. The system is fast and easy to set-up delivering user friendly functionality whilst not compromising on audio quality.

Durable And Portable

The S16's exceptional versatility only compliments the design and functionality, with an array of professional audio components all housed in a durable, lightweight steel frame. The all-steel 2U chassis is fully rack-mountable for added convenience, fitting into any studio rack with ease.
