Mini Stagebox 16R 2U Rackmount 16x8 Analogue Stagebox

The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 16R gives touring and installed sound systems a lower-cost way to get signal from the stage to the console without the modularity of a full digital snake system. Housed in a 2U rack chassis, it offers 16 analogue inputs and 8 line outputs in a 16x8 matrix, connecting to any Soundcraft Si Expression, Si Compact, Si Performer, Si Series, or Vi Series console through a MADI card fitted to the option card slot. An integral power supply makes the unit fully self-contained, so it sits comfortably stage-side without needing a separate PSU or extra cabling runs to power it. The Mini Stagebox is part of Soundcraft's ViSi Connect family of interface options, which also includes the larger Compact and Vi Stageboxes along with option cards for MADI, AES, and CobraNet connectivity. Every unit ships with the stagebox card already installed, along with the matching card for an Si series console, while Vi console MADI cards are sold separately. For a house of worship, theater, or touring rig already running a Soundcraft Si console, the Mini Stagebox 16R turns a long multicore snake run into a single MADI cable, cutting stage clutter without giving up the input count a live show needs.
