COMPACT STAGEBOX (CSB)
The Soundcraft Compact Stagebox offers a high density of I/O connections in
only 4U of rack space. The modular unit is configurable but is offered with a
standard configuration of 32 mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs, and 2 expansion
slots for standard Vi Local Rack I/O cards. These D21m option cards allow
connection to most popular digital formats, including CobraNet®, AVIOM
A-Net®16, Ethersound, ADAT, RockNet, Blu Link, and Dante. A MADI recording
interface can also be fitted to the expansion slots. It is possible to equip the
Compact Stagebox with an additional 16 mic/line input XLR module instead of
the output module, providing 48 inputs. In this case, analogue or AES outputs
could still be obtained on D-Type connectors via D21m cards fitted to the
expansion slots. The upper section of the stagebox is reconfigurable with a
choice of 16 channel I/O modules: 16 mic/line inputs; 16 line out; 8 line out +
8 AES out; 16 AES in + 16 AES out.
The Compact Stagebox is connected to the host console using either Cat-5
or Optical-fibre MADI, the same way as the larger 64 Mic/line Vi6 Stagebox is
hooked up, and shares the same redundant MADI cable capability. (For Vi1 a
compatible card for the console is required to be purchased separately).
The unit comes complete with twin redundant power supplies, thermostatically-
controlled fan cooling and full LED status monitoring. An 8ch GPIO interface is
also provided.
