PreSonus NSB 16.8 16x8 AVB-Networked Stage Box

When you're seeking a seamless integration with your StudioLive Series III consoles, the PreSonus NSB 16.8 16x8 AVB-Networked Stage Box is your ideal solution. This 16-in, 8-out stage box is designed to effortlessly route signals from stage to mixer over an AVB network, simplifying your setup process and enhancing your audio performance.

The NSB 16.8 leverages AVB networking technology, allowing all signals to flow through a single lightweight CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for heavy, costly copper snakes and the signal degradation that comes with long analog cable runs. The NSB 16.8's inputs, preamps, and phantom power can be remotely controlled from your networked Series III console or via the free PreSonus UC Surface touch-control software, offering you unparalleled convenience and control.

The NSB 16.8 is a powerhouse of analog connectivity, providing 16 locking combo mic/line inputs equipped with renowned remote-controlled, Class A solid-state XMAX preamps, including gain compensation for shared input scenarios. All line inputs can be controlled from a StudioLive Series III console and from the free PreSonus UC Surface software. The stage box also features eight outputs with locking XLR jacks for secure connections.

For larger shows and installations, the NSB 16.8 includes a built-in 2-port AVB switch, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple units and expand your connections. The AVB network offers unique benefits such as a high-precision clock that significantly reduces harmonic distortion and phasing, ensuring your audio remains crystal clear.

Built to withstand the most demanding tours, the NSB 16.8 is housed in a rugged steel chassis with sturdy handles, designed to endure the rigors of the road. Its classic stage box form factor allows it to sit well on stage, or it can be rack-mounted with an optional rack-ear kit. The NSB 16.8 is also compatible with stage pockets from Ace Backstage.

The PreSonus NSB 16.8 16x8 AVB-Networked Stage Box is more than just a digital mixer.
