The Stagebox is an audio rack and a transmission system that allows you to replace your heavy multi-core snake with a simple pair of coaxial cable, or with an optical fibre, thanks to the new MCSC Optical comm module. XLR connector, preamplifiers, 48V, phase shifter, and converters are located in the Stage Box. All the parameters are remote-controlled from the console and audio signals transmitted to the console, using coaxial cable or optical fibre.

One of INNOVASON’s trademark products, the Stage-Box is based on proven and reliable technology. Connected to the Mix-Box via a coax cable (75 ohms, max length 500m/1640ft) or an optical fiber (up to 2000m/6560ft), 64 digital audio channels are exchangeable between the Stage-Box and the Mix-Box. The Stage-Box is a remote version of the Mix-Box. It is therefore important to note that when an input module is installed in slot of the Mix-Box, the same slot of the Stage-Box is only available for an output module or no module.
The Stage-Box accepts SI-8D3, DI-8S, DI-8Src, DO-8A and MO-8D3 audio modules. It is an excellent digital audio splitter when it is necessary to distribute up to 64 mic preamps to several consoles.

The Stagebox is also a digital splitter which can feed two or three INNOVASON consoles. With a small length of cable in the analog domain, all the audio signals come quickly into digital and keep an impressive internal headroom. That's one of the numerous reasons responsible for the high sonic quality of the InnovaSON consoles.

The Stagebox comes as an option with the InnovaSON consoles. At any moment it's possible to add it other input or output (unprocessed) modules to improve the system resources.
