With ultra-fast, rock-solid performance, Behringer's ultra-affordable S32 digital stage box bridges the gap between the onstage talent, Front of House (FOH) console and the rest of the world. It offers 32 MIDAS-designed remote-controllable mic preamps, plus 16 balanced analog XLR returns at the stage end – and all via a single Cat 5e cable (up to 328' or 100m). And even though KLARK TEKNIK, the industry-leader in high-end digital audio processing, made it all possible with its AES50 SuperMAC technology, Behringer's signature remarkable scale of production makes the S32 very affordable.While it was originally designed with the flagship X32 Digital Mixing Console in mind, any mixing board that offers AES50 networking compatibility can still tap directly into the powerful featureset of the S32.But when used as part of a complete X32 system, two S32 Stage Boxes (additional componentssold separately) can be connected using the mixer's onboard dual AES50 ports, providing connectivity for up to 64 remote mic/line inputs, 32 balanced outputs and the awesome POWERPLAY P-16 Personal Monitoring System (sold separately) – which can feed up to 16 individual monitor mixes via CAT5 to every musician on stage. And when 32 inputs aren't enough, an S32 Stage Box may also be cascaded with an S16 or SD16 (bothsold separately) for full use of the 48-channel bidirectional capacity of AES50 SuperMAC networking, all on just a single CAT5 line.AES50 TechnologyKLARK TEKNIK SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) technology gives the S32 its high-capacity, ultra-low latency digital interconnectivity, as well as incredibly simple deployment and ease of use. KLARK TEKNIK engineers worked in concert with Behringer to ensure the S32 meets, or exceeds, the requirements of live entertainers and their professional audio engineers.Behringer S32 Features:(48) bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5e cable (48 kHz)(24) bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5e cable (96 kHz)Single cable duplex interconnection for audio and sample clocksEthernet physical layer audio data transmissionHigh channel count and ultra-low deterministic latencyAccurate phase-aligned clock distribution.Comprehensive error detection and managementProvision for redundant networkingMinimal configuration – total ease of deployment and useEthernet TCP/IP protocol-compatible auxiliary data channelRoyalty-free implementations available as Xilinx FPGA coresOEM modules available from developer partners(32) MIDAS-designed, fully programmable mic preamps for audiophile sound quality(16) analog, servo-balanced XLR outputsTwo AES-3 ports (AES/EBU), e.g. for directly connecting PA system controllers with digital inputsUp to 100m networking capability via CAT-5e cable (sold separately)Dual AES50 ports for cascading S32 units—no merger or router required (note: additional S32 units sold separately)Connectivity for Behringer’s P-16 Personal Monitoring System for In-Ear applications (sold separately)Dual ADAT outputs for use in splitter mode and stand-alone digital multicore applicationsMIDI In/Out for bi-directional communication between FOH console and on-stage MIDI devicesUSB connector for system updates via PC“Planet Earth” switching power supply for maximum flexibility (100 - 240 V~), noise-free audio, superior transient response plus low power consumption for energy saving“Built like a tank” yet compact, all-steel 3U rack-mount chassisMute-All-Inputs function for quietly patching any inputs on stage3-Year Warranty ProgramConceived and designed by Behringer, GermanyBehringer S32 Specifications:Processing:A/C-D/A conversion: 24-bit @ 44.1 / 48 kHz, 114 dB dynamic rangeNetworked I/O latency (stagebox in >console processing >stagebox out): 1.1 msConnectors:32 x XLR Inputs with MIDAS programmable mic preampsInput Impedance, unbal. / bal.: 5 kΩ / 10 kΩNon-clip Maximum Input Level: +23 dBuPhantom Power: +48V, switchable per input16 x XLR Outputs, line level2 x AES/EBU outputs (AES3 XLR) (2 channels each)2 x AES50 Ports (SuperMAC networking, NEUTRIK etherCON) (48 channels each)1 x ULTRANET output for P-16, RJ45 (no power supplied) (16 channels)1/1 MIDI Inputs/Outputs2 x ADAT Toslink Outputs (8 channels each)1 x USB: Type B (system updates)Input Output Characteristics:Frequency Range @ 48 kHz sample rate, 0 to -1 dB: 10 Hz - 22 kHzDynamic Range, analog mic in to analog mic out (typical): 104 dBA/D Dynamic Range, mic preamp and converter (typical): 106 dBD/A Dynamic Range, converter and output: 106 dBOutput Characteristics:Output Level, nom./max.: +4 dBu / +21 dBuOutput Impedance, XLR, unbal. / bal.: 75 Ω / 75 ΩDimensions (H x W x D): 5.4" x 19" x 9.5"Weight: 12.4 lbs Behringer S32 Digital Snake Stagebox, with 32 Inputs, 16 Outputs.
