Klark Teknik DN4816U Bus-Powered StageConnect Interface Bridge with Multi-Channel USB Input/Output

Just imagine a compact, universal interface box that effortlessly shares 32 channels of audio between StageConnect devices, Behringer Ultranet, and USB audio on your PC. That's the Klark Teknik DN4816U. This durable and high-quality device is perfect for a myriad of applications, from sending USB audio to Behringer P16 personal monitor mixers to using a Midas MR18 as a 16 CH input box for Behringer WING.

The DN4816U is a professional-grade product from Klark Teknik, a trusted name in the audio industry. It's designed to interconnect SC-Devices with a single XLR cable for multi-channel audio transmission, offering various I/O options for easily scalable connectivity. The DN48XX Series devices, including the DN4816U, can be daisy-chained, automatically allocating channels for their respective connectivity.

StageConnect, the future of XLR, is a new interface standard developed by Music Tribe. It allows any standard XLR or DMX cable to transmit more than one channel of audio bi-directionally, while also permitting the passage of control data or even MIDI simultaneously. A connected StageConnect device can receive up to 18 W of power through the same cable, making the DN4816U a versatile and reliable choice for your audio needs.

The DN4816U is part of the first generation of I/O Interfaces for the new StageConnect ecosystem, introduced with the Behringer WING mixing console. Although designed with the WING console in mind, the DN4816U can be used with other SC devices like Midas HUB4, opening up a wide field of audio devices.

The DN4816U can be powered via DC or StageConnect, with every SC Master providing 18W of power that can be used by devices in the chain. The device also features an automatic bus configuration, adapting the input and output configuration of the SC Bus depending on the connected devices.

The DN4816U also integrates seamlessly with Ultranet technology, transmitting up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio via a single CAT5 cable between compatible digital devices. The DN4816U provides sample rate conversion to separate the Ultranet input from StageConnect and USB, allowing you to connect Ultranet sources to your WING console while keeping both clock sources independent.

With the DN4816U, you can explore the possibilities of routing signals through the new ecosystem, thanks to the StageConnect Calculator. This tool checks a virtually configured chain for the DMX cable lengths, power supply, audio routing, and other parameters.

In summary, the Klark Teknik DN4816U is a versatile, reliable, and high-quality bus-powered stage connect interface bridge with multi-channel USB input/output. It's designed to provide seamless integration, automatic adapting routing, and a host of other features that make it a top choice for professionals in the audio industry.
