Network IO SB32.24

Dante stagebox with 32 SuperAnalogue™ mic/line ins, 16 line outs, and 4 AES/EBU ins and outs

The SB32.24 Dante stagebox is part of SSL’s Network I/O range, brining superior audio performance of SSL's renowned SuperAnalogue™ preamp design to a wide range of Dante network applications. Designed for use on any broadcast studio floor, live venue, or recording room, SSL Network I/O Stageboxes allow easy deployment of Mic Pres and Speaker feeds wherever they are needed

In addition to the 32 SuperAnalogue mic/line inputs and 16 analog line outputs, four AES3 input/output pairs are also provided in a rugged 5U stagebox. Dual redundant power supplies and a pair of redundant RJ45 Dante network connections in addition to user-configurable redundant SFP ports that can be fitted with RJ45 or optical connectors further enhance the "show must go on” reliability. The SFP ports can be used for network extension or to provide network separation for the gain-compensated Dante “split”, which enables connection to a second Dante-equipped console on a totally different network. SSL Network I/O’s plug-and-play features allow devices to easily be moved between locations while retaining routing and settings. All Network I/O units can be remote-controlled from SSL System T broadcast systems, SSL Live consoles, and the SSL Remote Stagebox application.

Dante Network Technology

Audinate's Dante IP audio networking offers a fresh approach to audio routing and asset sharing with a wide range of benefits:

High Channel Counts: 512ch @ 48kHz (256 @ 96kHz) on a single 1GB connection
Guaranteed Interoperability: plug & play discoverability of devices from different manufacturers
Remote Device Control: parameters configured anywhere on the network
Reduced Cost: standard low cost IT hardware, standard and/or existing Cat 5 or Cat 6 cabling with audio and control on the same network down a single cable
Simplifed Interconnectivity: Ethernet/IP connectivity simplifies interfacing with a wide range of devices including Intercoms and Station Automation
Flexible Scalability: systems can grow as your needs evolve. Want a bigger network? Add another switch!
Full Network Redundancy: technology tried and tested across many industries and fully compatible with all network redundancy models
Distributed Routing Control: API-based routing control from unlimited devices or terminals
Absolute Resilience: catastrophic failure of a single device will have no effect on any other devices in the network
Standards compliant: IEEE and IETF compliant thus deployable on and can mix with trafic on any standard IP infrastructure
Works with AES67 and SMPTE 2110 standards

SSL Stagebox Remote Control application

The SSL Stagebox Remote Control application provides comprehensive control of SSL Network I/O Stageboxes in a Dante network. Stagebox Remote Control software can be installed on any PC in any location in the network. Multiple instances of the software can coexist on the network, each with access to any of the SSL Stagebox units available on the network. The Remote Control Application offers complete control over the extensive feature set of SSL’s Stageboxes and acts as a communication aid with clear real-time device and channel attention indication.

Stagebox Remote Control key features:
- Comprehensive control of SSL Stageboxes via Dante network
- Clear real-time device and channel-attention indication
- Runs on any PC anywhere on the network
- Multiple instances can coexist and control all Stageboxes on the network
- Realtime metering for all inputs
