Digital mixing has revolutionized virtually everything in the live- entertainment production workflow. Now we've come up with the perfect solution for connecting the onstage talent with your Front of House (FOH) console and the rest of the world - the ultra-cool and ultra-affordable SD8 Stage Box! The Behringer SD8 provides 8 Midas-designed remote-controllable mic preamps, 8 balanced analog XLR returns at the stage end, plus an integrated 2-port ULTRANET distribution hub for direct connection to Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers - without any additional hardware required. Plus the SD8 digital stage box mixer is extremely compact and comes with rugged protective bumpers, so you can toss them directly on stage wherever you need them. The best part - all it takes is a single Cat 5e cable per stage box. And If you need more inputs or just want to keep your cable runs short and tidy, putting a Behringer SD8 at stage front and another behind the drum riser gives you an additional 8 inputs for drum and guitar/ bass amp mic'ing.

When used as part of a complete x32 system, as many as three Behringer SD8 Digital Stage Boxes can be cascaded via the built-in AES50 ports to provide up to 24 bidirectional inputs and 24 balanced XLR outputs. An onboard ULTRANET distribution hub provides power and 16 channels of audio to 2 Behringer Powerplay P16-M personal monitor mixers per SD8, all via inexpensive Cat 5e cabling - and without any additional hardware. Two of the programmable inputs are also compatible with Hi-Z sources, so you can connect keyboards, acoustic and bass guitars, etc., with no DI box required. The SD8 also features a USB port for fast and easy system updates via your PC.
