Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32R – Stage Box for Soundcraft Digital Mixers Soundcraft

The Mini Stagebox 32 is ideal for for expanding the I/O capabilities of any of the Vi or Si range of consoles regardless of whether that I/O is needed locally or hundreds of meters away on the stage. The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32 requires only 3U of rack space and, in this tiny footprint, provides 32 recallable mic/line inputs, 8 balanced line outputs and 4 pairs of AES outputs, all lifted directly from the Vi1 and larger Compact Stagebox. The Mini Stagebox 32 is connected to the host console using Cat-5, similar to how the larger 64 mic/line Vi6 Stagebox is hooked up, and shares the same redundant MADI cable capability when connected directly to a single console. The efficient design negates the need for a fan so making the MINI Stagebox ideal for applications where silence is a must!

Compatible Mixers:

• Vi Series (Requires Vi MADI Card)
• Si Impact Series
• Si Performer Series
• Si1, Si1+
• Si2, Si2+
• Si3, Si3+

The new Mini Stagebox range from Harman’s Soundcraft provides a simple solution to stage connectivity offering a lower-cost option for many systems where the modularity and configurability of the larger systems are not required.

The Mini Stagebox 32 (3U) provides 32 analogue inputs and 8 analogue line outputs, with 4 pairs of AES outputs, providing a total I/O capacity of 32 inputs and 16 outputs, with the Mini Stagebox 16 (2U) model providing 16 analogue inputs and 8 line outputs making a 16 x 8 matrix. They connect to any of the Soundcraft Si Expression, Si Compact, Si Performer, Si Series and Vi Series consoles via a MADI card fitted to the option card slot. The Mini Stagebox models contain an integral PSU so are completely self-contained and sit comfortably stage-side.

The new units are part of the ViSi Connect range of interface options for all Soundcraft mixing consoles which includes the Compact and Vi Stageboxes and a range of option cards such as MADI, AES, CobraNet and AES.
