PROEL EZBOX1604 - Stage box with 16 input channels and 4 output channels
Optimize your live and studio connections with the Proel EZBOX1604 , a stage box designed for maximum practicality without sacrificing signal integrity. Part of Proel's "EZ" series, this system was conceived to make life easier for sound engineers and musicians, combining robust construction with a smart design that simplifies transport and setup.
This multi-pair system features 16 input channels and 4 returns (outputs) , allowing you to send a complete instrument mix to the control room and receive monitor lines or PA sends from the mixing console. Its integrated 15-meter cable provides the ideal length for medium-sized stages, rehearsal rooms, complex drum setups, or extensive keyboard rigs , keeping the stage clean and free of tangled individual cables.
What truly sets the EZBOX1604 apart is its uniquely designed chassis. Unlike traditional speaker boxes, its structure allows the cable to be wound around the box itself for convenient and secure transport, eliminating the need for additional cases. It can be used in both vertical and horizontal positions, adapting to the space limitations of any stage. Equipped with high-quality XLR connectors manufactured by Proel and a robust metal construction, this speaker box is an indispensable tool for touring and rental companies seeking reliable and quick setup.
Main features
-
Versatile configuration: It has 16 female XLR inputs and 4 male XLR outputs (returns) on the box, covering the needs of entire bands or instrument sections.
-
Intelligent transport design: The chassis structure acts as a natural reel, protecting the cable and facilitating collection at the end of the event.
-
"Tour-Ready" Construction: Made of durable metal with long-lasting finishes to withstand heavy road use and foot traffic.
-
High-quality Proel connectors: They guarantee a firm connection and transparent audio transmission, minimizing noise and interference.
-
Flexible multipair cable: 15-meter long cable with clear numbering at the ends (fan) for quick identification on the mixing console.
Product benefits
The Proel EZBOX1604 transforms cable management on stage. By centralizing all lines at a single point, it dramatically reduces setup and teardown time (soundcheck), allowing technicians to focus on the mix. Its compact, all-in-one design means you don't need to lug around heavy flight cases; simply wrap the cable around the frame and you're ready to go.
Furthermore, by reducing the number of loose cables on the floor, it improves stage safety , preventing tripping hazards and accidental disconnections. The high-quality shielding of the multi-pair cable ensures that the signal arrives pure, without hum or electromagnetic interference, even in electrically challenging environments.
Use cases
-
Drummers: Ideal for miking a complete kit (bass drum, snare drum, toms, cymbals) and sending the clean signal to the technician, using the returns for the drum monitor (in-ears or wedge).
-
Keyboards: Perfect for managing large synthesizer and module setups, sending multiple stereo signals without cluttering the stage with cables.
-
Small bands and venues: It acts as the main multi-pair system in club, pub or conference room settings where the mixing console is not far from the stage (up to 15 meters).
-
Recording studios: Excellent solution for connecting the recording room (live room) with the control room without infrastructure work, by passing the hose under the doors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the socket support Phantom power (+48V)?
Yes, being a fully analog and passive wiring system, it transmits phantom power from the mixing console to the condenser microphones without any problem.
-
Can the connectors be replaced if they are damaged?
Yes, both the housing and the fan use standard soldered connectors, so any qualified technician can carry out repairs or replacements if necessary after years of heavy use.
-
Is the cable detachable?
No, the cable is integrated and fixed internally to the housing to ensure maximum resistance to pulling and to guarantee the durability of the system.
-
What is the exact length of the hose?
The multipair hose has a length of 15 meters from the outlet of the box to the end of the connector fan.
