Soundcraft E947.351000 CSB 32-Input 8 Line+8 AES Out Compact Stagebox with Optical-fibre MADI Connectors

The Soundcraft CSB 32-Input 8 Line + 8 AES Out Compact Stagebox with Optical-fibre MADI Connectors is a powerful and scalable I/O expansion solution for live sound engineers using Soundcraft’s Vi and Si Series digital consoles. Designed to meet the demands of professional touring and installations, this stagebox provides a cost-effective method for increasing input and output capability remotely.

This version of the Compact Stagebox comes configured with 32 mic/line analogue inputs, 8 line outputs, and 8 AES/EBU digital outputs. It includes an integrated optical-fibre MADI interface card, allowing reliable and efficient multi-channel audio transmission between the stage and console over long distances. The compact 4U design ensures a high density of I/O without occupying excessive rack space, making it ideal for both mobile and fixed installations.

The stagebox supports Soundcraft’s modular design philosophy and includes two expansion slots compatible with Studer D21m I/O cards. This allows users to further extend connectivity by integrating various digital audio protocols such as CobraNet, AVIOM A-Net16, Ethersound, ADAT, RockNet, and additional MADI interfaces.

Whether used to expand the input capacity up to 96 channels with multiple units or as a remote I/O unit for the Vi1 or Si range of consoles, the Soundcraft CSB Compact Stagebox delivers flexible connectivity with professional-grade performance. Its robust construction and support for optical MADI make it a future-ready solution for demanding audio environments.
