Behringer S16 Digital I/O Stage Box Utilize the ultimate solution for connecting the onstage talent with your Front of House (FOH) console with the Behringer S16, a digital I/O stage box with 16 fully programmable, remotely controllable Midas-designed mic preamps and 8 analog, balanced XLR outputs. The stage box connects to the FOH through a single Cat 5e cable without the need for a dedicated router. This I/O box is designed with multiple scenarios in mind; it works equally well as a stand-alone pair for use with analog mixing consoles, or as part of the trio of a digital mixing solution along with the X32 digital mixer and P16 personal monitoring system. It features AES50 networking with the Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology. The front panel also allows the level and phantom power to be controlled for all inputs and outputs, accompanied by an 8-LED meter and 7-segment display. The currently selected channel can be monitored in mono through a 1/4” TRS headphone jack with level control.
