Tascam SB-16D - 16 In / 16 Out Dante Stage Box with built in 32-bit ADC & Class 1 HDIA mic-preamps

The SB-16D is a Dante-enabled active stage box with 16 analogue inputs and 16 analogue outputs. As an analogue interface equipped with 32-bit A/D converters and Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps, the SB-16D captures your audio in the highest quality right at the beginning of the signal path. You can use multiple devices simultaneously in a Dante network, placed on the floor or mounted in a rack.

Having the same performance and hardware quality as Tascam Sonicview live recording consoles, the SB-16D offers all the advantages of Dante networking, combined with seamless integration with Sonicview mixers and other Dante-enabled products from Tascam and other manufacturers.

Key Features:

• Seamless Integration with Sonicview Mixers.
  When an SB-16D stage box is connected to a Tascam Sonicview, microphone gain can be remotely controlled from the mixing console, and all inputs and outputs come up on the touchscreens for hassle-free ease of use. In addition, the SB-16D is equipped with a GPIO interface with eight inputs and outputs. These expand to 16 GPIO ins and outs when connected to a Sonicview mixer, facilitating parallel control.
• Dante-Enabled For Superior Networking:
  dante audio-over-IP networks integrate thousands of concert touring systems, as well as installed systems in recording studios, radio stations, corporate boardrooms, houses of worship, and much more.Sonicview consoles can serve as the audio center of these systems, thanks to a built-in 64-in/64-out Dante interface that supports Dante Domain Manager and have AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 interoperability. Two Dante ports enable redundant streams.
• Flexible Positioning on the Floor or in a 19-Inch Rack
  Whether you want a networked floor box for stage use, or rack-mounted inputs and outputs for recording and broadcast studios and commercial installs, the SB-16D provides the flexibility you need. It can be installed in an EIA rack (3U) with the included brackets, which offer two angle options. Mount the jack panel on the front of the rack and take advantage of the SB-16D’s cable hole to conveniently and safely route connected cables in the back. Large rubber feet maintain stability, even with cables connected, when the SB-16D is used as a floor box. Multiple stage boxes can be stacked for ease of transportation and stability during installation. And a handle makes the SB-16D easy to carry.
• A complete package with all the features you need:
  Easily accommodate large ensembles and extensive installed Dante systems using 16 XLR mic/line inputs and 16 XLR line outputs. Need more I/O? Simply network multiple SB-16Ds. The mic/line inputs are extremely quiet, achieving –128 dBu EIN and allowing a maximum input level of +32 dBu. Each input channel offers switchable 48-volt phantom power with indicator as well as signal and overload LEDs for monitoring the input level. Level indicators on the line outputs show the presence of signals.
