The Soundcraft CSB 32-Input 16-Output Compact Stagebox is a professional-grade extension unit designed to expand the connectivity and functionality of Soundcraft’s digital live sound consoles. Compatible with the Soundcraft Vi Series, Si Series, Vi1, and SI Compact consoles, this stagebox is an ideal low-cost expansion solution for live sound engineers seeking more input/output options without occupying additional space.
Housed in a compact 4U rack-mountable enclosure, the stagebox provides an impressive I/O density, featuring a standard setup of 32 mic/line inputs, 8 line outputs, and 8 channels of AES/EBU digital outputs. It also includes two expansion slots that accommodate Studer D21m I/O cards, allowing users to integrate a wide variety of digital audio formats such as CobraNet, AVIOM A-Net16, Ethersound, ADAT, RockNet, and MADI recording interfaces.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the Compact Stagebox is also flexible in configuration. Users have the option to replace the standard output module with an additional 16 mic/line input XLR module, offering up to 48 inputs. Output connectivity can still be maintained via the D21m expansion slots using D-Type connectors.
This unit is designed to deliver high-quality, reliable audio performance for demanding live sound environments while simplifying the stage-to-console connection process through rugged Cat5 Neutrik connectors. Whether used in touring, installations, or broadcast setups, the Soundcraft Compact Stagebox enhances system scalability and I/O capabilities with professional-grade audio interface standards.
