Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32R – Compact Digital Stagebox

Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32R – Compact digital stagebox

The Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32R is a 3U rack-mount stagebox that delivers high-density connectivity in a compact form factor. It offers 32 remote mic/line inputs, 8 analog line outputs, and 4 pairs of AES outputs, for a total of 32 inputs and 16 outputs via a single chassis. It connects to Vi and Si consoles via Cat 5 MADI cable, with dual ports for redundant linking, and features a low-noise internal power supply. Ideal for on-stage placement, it allows for controlling all preamps and A/D conversions directly from the console, without the need for additional fans or rack space.

Main features

• 32 remote mic/line inputs with gain control, +48 V phantom power and pre-A/D high-pass filter.
• 8 balanced analog line outputs and 4 pairs of digital AES outputs (total 16 outputs).
• Cat 5 MADI connectivity with two Ethercon ports for redundancy and low latency.
• 3 U rack format (132 mm high × 483 mm wide × 277 mm deep).
• Internal auto-ranging, fanless power supply for silent on-stage operation.
• Compatible with Vi5000/7000, Vi6 Local Rack, Compact Stagebox, Vi1, Vi1000/2000/3000, Si Performer, Si Expression and Si Compact consoles .

User benefits

• Maximum density in just 3 U: 32 inputs + 16 outputs in a single compact module.
• MADI redundancy: dual Cat 5 link to ensure signal continuity in the event of a cable failure.
• Quick installation: a single cable for digital audio and remote control of preamps.
• Silent operation: Fanless design, perfect for live and broadcast applications.
• Plug-and-play integration: Automatically recognizes the I/O configuration on the host console.

Use cases

• Stage connectivity for small and medium-sized tours and festivals.
• Fixed installations in auditoriums, theaters and places of worship.
• Mobile multi-track recording and broadcasting studios.
• Corporate events and conference rooms with silence requirements.
• Distribution of auxiliary signals and monitors in remote racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What console cards do you need? Requires a MADI card in the Vi or Si console's option slot.
• How do I connect digital audio? Using Cat 5e Ethernet cable, connecting ports A and B for redundancy.
• Does it include a power supply? Yes, internal auto-ranging with no external power supply required.
• Is it noisy on stage? No, it lacks a fan and operates completely silently.
