SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 User Guide

Hardware Connections:

Mains Power Connections

Each stagebox includes redundant PSUs with IEC C14 inlets. Either supply can
individually power the unit. Ideally these should be connected to separate power
circuits to provide redundancy of incoming AC power.

Audio Inputs and Outputs

Electronically balanced mic/line inputs, line outputs, AES/EBU inputs and outputs on latching XLR-3
connectors.
See Appendix B for pinout information.

Dante Connections

A pair of LEDs per port provide
network information:
ACT flashes when there is
network activity
GB/SFP shows Ethernet/SFP
network status
The SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 have two sets of redundant network connections. These can be
configured in two different modes:
In the first mode, the A and B networks are linked internally (A+B Network Link LED is on). In this
mode both Network A and Network B are identical and output both the gain-dependant and gain-
compensated audio. Dante devices can subscribe to either one. Either set of network connections (or
both) can be used to connect to the stagebox, allowing Ethernet or fibre connectivity as desired.
In the second mode, the A and B networks are discrete (A+B Network Link LED is off) and isolated
from each other. In this mode Network A transmits uncompensated audio (and receives audio for
the analogue outputs, AES outputs and also control data) and Network B transmits the compensated
audio only. An SRC can be enabled on Network B if required. Further information can be found in the
Gain Compensation and Network B Sample Rate Converter (SRC) sections of this guide.
Configuration of the network link is detailed within the Dante Controller section of this guide.
Network A ports feature etherCON
ruggedised RJ45 connectors
Network B ports are SFP cages which can be
fitted with either RJ45, single-mode or multi-
mode LC fibre connectors
