FEATURES

The Compact Stagebox is ideal for existing owners of Vi Series consoles as a cost-effective method of

expanding the input capability by expanding to up to 96 mic/line analogue inputs, or as a partner for the

Vi1 and Si range of consoles providing cost-effective remote I/O capability in conjunction with the optional

MADI interface cards available for those consoles.

The Soundcraft Compact Stagebox offers a high density of I/O connections in only 4U of rack space. The

modular unit is fully congurable but is offered with a standard conguration of 32 mic/line inputs, 8 line

outputs, 4 x 2 channels of AES/EBU outputs and 2 expansion slots for standard Studer D21m I/O cards.

The D21m is the I/O architecture for Studer as well as Soundcraft digital mixing systems and allows con-

nection to most popular digital formats, including CobraNet®, Aviom A-Net®16, EtherSound®, ADAT and

RockNet®. A MADI recording interface can also be tted 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 tted to the expansion slots.

As well as the exibility of the D21m option card interface, the Compact Stagebox uses the same I/O

modules as found in the Soundcraft Vi1 console. As a result it is possible to move or share modules

between console and stagebox, should a different conguration of I/O be required on either the Vi1 or

the stagebox. For example, the 8 line out/AES output card from the stagebox could be tted to the Vi1

console in place of a 16-channel line output card. Alternatively, the mic input modules can be replaced by

output modules if large numbers of outputs are required.

When tting cards to the expansion slots it should be noted that the maximum input and output capacity

of the Compact Stagebox is limited by the MADI console link to 64 in/64 out.

The Compact Stagebox is connected to the host console using either Cat-5 or optical-bre MADI, the same

way as the larger 64 mic/line Vi6 Stagebox is hooked up, and shares the same redundant MADI cable

capability. The unit comes complete with twin redundant power supplies, thermostatically-controlled fan

cooling and full LED status monitoring. An eight-channel GPIO interface is provided as well.
