Behringer SD8 I/O Digital Stage Box

The Behringer SD8 8-channel digital stage box is the ideal choice for connecting the act performing onstage to your front of house console – plus its extremely affordable too!

Remote-Controllable Preamps

A digital snake, remote-controllable preamp setup means no more running across a venue last minute to make adjustments. These preamps are MIDAS designed, which are known for their legendary sound quality, heaps of headroom and low noise. Everything MIDAS touches truly does turn to gold. Courtesy of the Klark Teknik SuperMAC protocol, the SD8 appears in your digital mixers operating system – which in turn allows for impressive control over your pres. This means you’ll have unparalleled command from your designated front of house position.

Compatible Networking

The SD8 will work with all digital consoles that contain an AES50 digital Ethernet connection. This makes it an extremely versatile bit of kit. No matter whether you’re using a Behringer, MIDAS or other compatible digital mixing console (with the appropriate port), the SD8 pairs brilliantly, offering an intuitive single connection between itself and your stage box.  

Versatile, Servo-Balanced XLR Outputs

Whatever the scenario, you’ll get audio of crystal-clear clarity. A group of 8 XLR balanced outputs lets you connect your external equipment, be it monitors, active loudspeakers or amp racks. Radio frequency interference and crosstalk is removed thanks to Cirrus Logic 24-bit converters. This all adds up to a very well-rounded piece of gear.

Next-Level Monitoring Partnership

Behringer have taken monitoring systems into consideration when producing the SD8. It works especially well with their Powerplay P16 personal monitoring set – which is straightforward to use and amazingly priced. The pairing works due to the SD8’s in-built Ultranet connectivity. This gives the P16-M monitor controllers a digital split direct from your stage box.
