Overview

I/O stage box with 16 remote-controllable MIDAS preamps, eight outputs and ULTRANET personal monitoring hub.

The Behringer SD16 stage box brings pristine audio quality and simplified setup to your live performances. With 16 Midas-designed mic preamps, the SD16 delivers clear, detailed sound for every input. Just run a single CAT5e cable from the stagebox to the mixing console for up to 16 channels of audio, reducing cable clutter across the stage. The onboard ULTRANET hub routes 16 channels of digital audio and phantom power directly to Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers, eliminating extra hardware and cabling. Plug instruments straight into the SD16 thanks to two hi-Z combo inputs, perfect for keyboards, acoustic guitars and more. Keep your system updated via the USB port for firmware upgrades from your computer. With renowned MIDAS preamps and simplified CAT-5e connectivity, the SD16 stagebox takes your live sound to the next level.

Midas-Designed Preamps Bring Pristine Audio Quality

The SD16 is equipped with 16 studio-grade Midas-designed mic preamps to capture your sound with stunning accuracy and clarity. The preamps are remotely controlled from the mixing console, giving you easy access to settings like phantom power, gain and routing. Midas consoles have an acclaimed heritage in live sound, known for their ultra-low noise and transparent audio. With Midas preamps onboard, the SD16 renders every subtle nuance and texture of each input, from vocals to acoustic guitar.

Single CAT5e Cable Simplifies Setup and Reduces Clutter

Connecting the SD16 stagebox to your console is astonishingly simple, requiring just a single shielded CAT-5e cable per unit. That single cable carries up to 16 channels of pristine 24-bit digital audio, eliminating the need for bulky, tangled analog snake cables strewn across the stage. The simplified cabling helps you set up faster and creates an organized, clutter-free stage environment for bands to focus on their performance. For more inputs, connect multiple SD16 units in a chain via the AES50 ports for up to 48 channels from the stage.

Onboard ULTRANET Hub Powers P16-M Monitors

The SD16 features an integrated ULTRANET hub that routes 16 channels of digital audio and phantom power to Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers, without any extra hardware. ULTRANET transmits multi-channel 24-bit digital audio and control data over a single CAT5e cable, providing interference-free sound. Now each performer can dial in their own monitor mix, with simple CAT5e runs from the stagebox - no bulky power supplies or distribution boxes needed.

Hi-Z Inputs Allow Direct Instrument Connections

Two of the combo XLR-1/4" inputs are hi-Z capable, perfect for directly connecting instruments like electric guitar, bass and keyboards on stage. The hi-Z inputs eliminate the need for DI boxes, further simplifying setup. Just plug your instruments straight into the SD16 and you're ready to play. With the SD16's pristine Midas preamps and hi-Z inputs, your instruments will sound amazing with no extra gear required.
