NSB 16.8 AVB Stage Box with 16-Channel Snake Cable

This bundle pairs the PreSonus NSB 16.8 AVB stage box with a Rockville SX1650 snake cable, covering both the networked stage inputs and a long cable run in one order. The NSB 16.8 provides 16 locking combo mic/line inputs with remote-controlled XMAX preamps and gain compensation for shared inputs, plus 16 direct AVB inputs and 8 locking XLR outputs that a Series III console can control from front of house. Its built-in 2-port AVB switch supports daisy-chaining more stage boxes, and a rugged steel chassis with handles keeps it road-ready.

The SX1650 snake handles the 50 foot run between the stage and the mixing position, with 12 XLR male sends and 4 XLR female returns bundled into a single 1 inch thick cable. A 25 gauge 100% OFC conductor and double shielding with aluminum foil keep the signal clean over distance, and labeled, numbered ports speed up setup at both ends. Together, the stage box and snake give a live sound engineer a complete signal path from the stage to the console without patching individual cables.
