Behringer S32 I/O Box with 32x Remote-Controllable Midas Preamps

About Behringer S32

Just imagine the power and versatility of a digital mixing system that revolutionizes your live-entertainment production workflow. The S32 I/O Box with 32x Remote-Controllable Midas Preamps is a high-quality, durable, and reliable stage box that serves as a bridge between the onstage talent, the Front of House (FOH) console, and the rest of the world.

This professional-grade device offers ultra-fast and rock-solid performance, featuring 32 Midas-designed remote-controllable mic preamps and 16 balanced analog XLR returns at the stage end. All it takes is a single Cat 5e cable (up to 328 ft / 100 m) to connect this versatile device.

The S32 I/O Box is a product of Klark Teknik, the industry-leader in high-end digital audio processing, and Midas, a company with a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. The Midas-designed mic preamp incorporated in the S32 ensures the ultimate in high-quality audio reproduction in both live and studio environments.

When used as part of a complete X32 system, two S32 Stage Boxes can be connected via the mixer's built-in dual AES50 ports, providing connectivity for up to 64 remote mic/line inputs, 32 balanced outputs, and the POWERPLAY P-16 Personal Monitoring System. This system can feed up to 16 individual monitor mixes via CAT5 to every musician on stage.

The S32 I/O Box also features 2 optical ADAT outputs and two AES-3 (AES/EBU) stereo outputs for digitally connecting to outboard devices, such as PA system controllers. A convenient USB port is included for system updates via your PC, plus MIDI I/O for your lighting systems and sound module control.

The S32 was initially designed with our flagship X32 Digital Mixing Console in mind, but any mixing board with AES50 networking capability can tap directly into the S32's powerful feature set. This device is not just a stage box, but a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled ease of deployment, performance, and control.

The S32 I/O Box with 32x Remote-Controllable Midas Preamps is a testament to the power of innovative design and high-quality construction. It's built tough enough to withstand the rigors of the road, taking up only three rack spaces and connecting to FOH with a single, inexpensive Cat 5e cable. This is the missing link between the stage and FOH that you've been looking for, all at a price that's within reach.
