Behringer SD8 Product Information Document

Digital

mixing

has

revolutionized

virtually

everything

in

the

live-

entertainment production workﬂow.

Now we’ve come up with the perfect

solution for connecting the onstage

talent with your Front of House (FOH)

console, and the rest of the world –

the

ultra-cool

and

ultra-aﬀordable

SD8 Stage Box! The SD8 provides

8

MIDAS

-designed remote-controllable

mic preamps, 8 balanced analog XLR

returns at the stage end, plus an integrated 2-port ULTRANET distribution

hub for direct connection to our

P16-M

personal monitor mixers – without

any additional hardware required.

Plus the SD8 is extremely compact and comes with rugged protective

bumpers, so you can toss them directly on stage wherever you need them.

The best part – all it takes is a single shielded CAT5e cable per stage box

(up to 330 ft / 100 m length). And If you need more inputs, or just want to

keep your cable runs short and tidy, putting an SD8 at stage front and another

behind the drum riser gives you an additional 8 inputs for drum and guitar/

bass amp mic’ing.

When used as part of a complete

X32

system, as many as six SD8 Stage

Boxes can be cascaded via the built-in AES50 ports to provide up to

48 balanced XLR Combo inputs and 48 balanced XLR outputs. An onboard

ULTRANET distribution hub provides power and 16 channels of audio to

2

BEHRINGER POWERPLAY P16-M

personal monitor mixers per SD8, all via

inexpensive shielded CAT5e cabling – and without any additional hardware.

Two of the programmable inputs are also compatible with Hi-Z sources,

so you can connect keyboards, acoustic and bass guitars, etc., with no

DI box required. The SD8 also features a USB port for fast and

easy system updates via your PC.
