Digital mixing has revolutionized virtually everything in the live-entertainment production workflow. Now we have come up with the perfect solution for connecting the onstage talent with your Front of House (FOH) console, and the rest of the world – the ultra-cool and ultra-affordable S16 Digital Snake! The S16 provides 16 MIDAS-designed remote-controllable mic preamps, plus 8 balanced analog XLR returns at the stage end – and all it takes is a single Cat 5e cable. While KLARK TEKNIK, the industry-leader in high-end digital audio processing, invented the SuperMAC technology that made it all possible – our superb scale of production makes the S16 so very affordable. When used as part of a complete X32 system, two S16 Stage Boxes can be cascaded via the built-in AES50 ports, providing connectivity for up to 32 mic/line inputs, 16 balanced outputs and the awesome POWERPLAY P-16 Personal Monitoring System – which can feed up to 48 individual monitor mixers. We also included 2 optical ADAT sockets for connecting channels 1 - 8 and 9 - 16 to outboard devices, a convenient USB port for system updates via your PC – and MIDI I/O for lighting systems and sound module control. • 16 MIDAS-designed, fully programmable mic preamps for audiophile sound quality • 8 analogue, servo-balanced XLR outputs • AES50 network ports featuring KLARK TEKNIK’s SuperMAC networking capability for ultra-low jitter and latency • ULTRANET connectivity for BEHRINGER's P16 personal monitoring system • Digital audio and control connectivity for TURBOSOUND speaker systems with ULTRANET networking capability • Dual AES50 ports for cascading additional S16, SD16 or SD8 stageboxes—no merger or router required • Precise LED metering plus 7-segment displays for signal control on stage • Dual ADAT outputs providing 16-channel digital output on two optical TOSLINK* connectors • Phones output assignable to any of the inputs/outputs for on-stage monitoring • MIDI In/Out for bi-directional communication between BEHRINGER X32 Series console and on-stage MIDI devices • Remote operation via shielded CAT5e cable up to 330 ft / 100 m length • USB connector for system updates via PC • "Planet Earth" switching power supply for maximum flexibility (100 - 240 V~), noise-free audio, superior transient response plus low power consumption for energy saving • "Built like a tank" yet compact, all-steel 2U rack-mount chassis • Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany
