The Compact Stagebox is an extension to the range of Soundcraft digital live sound consoles,and adds a low-cost expansion option to the Soundcraft Vi Series,Soundcraft Si Series,Soundcraft Vi1™ and Soundcraft® SI Compact.
The Soundcraft Compact Stagebox offers a high density of I/O connections in only 4U of rack space. The modular unit is fully configurable but is offered with a standard configuration of 32 mic/line inputs,8 line outputs,8 channels of AES/EBU outputs and 2 expansion slots for standard Studer D21m I/O cards. The D21m is the I/O architecture for Studer as well as Soundcraft digital mixing systems and allows connection to most popular digital formats,including CobraNet®,AVIOM A-Net®16,Ethersound,ADAT and RockNet. A MADI recording interface can also be fitted to the expansion slots.
It is possible to equip the Compact Stagebox with an additional 16 mic/line input XLR module instead of the output module,providing 48 inputs. In this case,analogue or AES outputs could sill be obtained on D-Type connectors via D21m cards fitted to the expansion slots.
