Behringer SD8 Overview
Utilize the ultimate solution for connecting the on-stage talent with your Front of House (FOH) console with the Behringer SD8, a digital I/O stage box with 8 remote-controlled Midas-designed preamplifiers as well as eight servo-balanced analog XLR outputs. A USB port is included for fast and easy system updates via your PC.
An integrated 2-port Ultranet distribution hub is included for direct connection to the company's P16-M personal monitor mixers without the need for any additional hardware. The compact unit features rugged protective bumpers and the option to be rack mounted using the included rack ears. A single shielded Cat 5e cable connects the stagebox, and up to six stageboxes can be cascaded together for a total of 48 inputs and 24 balanced outputs. An onboard Ultranet distribution hub provides power and 16 channels of audio to two of the company's Powerplay P16-M personal monitor mixers.

Remotely Controllable Preamps Make Setup a Breeze
The SD8 Stage Box is a studio/live sound engineer's dream come true. Setup is extremely easy, with virtually all parameter control taking place at the console, including the award-winning Midas-designed mic preamps, +48 V phantom power, destination routing, etc. Just put the SD8 where you want it, run a few Cat 5e, mic, and instrument cables and head for the console.
8 Servo-Balanced XLR Outputs
The SD8 features 8 XLR balanced outputs, allowing you to connect to your amp racks, active loudspeakers and monitors. Thanks to its reference-class Cirrus Logic 24-bit converters, SD8's digital operation eliminates even the slightest possibility of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and crosstalk.
ULTRANET Seamless Integration
The world-renowned engineers at Klark Teknik, Midas, Turbosound, and Behringer have all come together to create something truly innovative that will change your live and studio workflow forever. ULTRANET is a revolutionary technology that seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single shielded Cat 5e cable between compatible digital devices including mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers, and personal monitoring systems. Advantages realized through ULTRANET digital networking, versus traditional analog methods include: all audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) signal crosstalk is eliminated, and ease of use translates directly into a significant amount of time saved during show setup or installation. And the SD8's onboard ULTRANET distribution hub supplies phantom power over Cat 5e directly to your P16-M Personal Monitoring Mixers, eliminating the need for external power adapters. ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled ease of deployment, performance, and control for Behringer P16 Personal Monitoring Systems and Turbosound iQ Speaker Series.
