The SC16-I serves as the dedicated analog front-end for your StageConnect ecosystem, consolidating sixteen distinct sources onto a single cable bus. You gain access to eight TRIAD microphone preamps housed in combo jacks for channels one through eight, each featuring individual 48V phantom power switching to accommodate various microphones and instruments. Additionally, channels nine through sixteen provide eight versatile combo inputs that support both XLR and TRS connections for line-level signals.

These integrated TRIAD mic preamps are engineered to produce pristine audio quality, utilizing high common-mode rejection to ensure effective noise elimination. They maintain consistent performance regardless of the source impedance and allow for meticulous level adjustments through fine 0.5 dB analog gain increments on every channel.

You can manage all gain and preamp settings remotely, either through a StageConnect-compatible console or by using the desktop control software via USB. This capability allows you to fine-tune your stage levels directly from the front-of-house position, eliminating the need to physically access the rack during a performance.

Equipped with both Ultranet input and output ports, the SC16-I functions as a seamless analog front-end for Ultranet-capable receivers from Turbosound, Klark Teknik, Behringer, or Midas. This connectivity facilitates direct routing for personal monitoring and signal processing right from the stage.

The SC16-I also handles the transmission of MIDI input commands to other StageConnect devices, such as the SC-U USB interface, by integrating control data directly into your existing audio infrastructure. This setup allows you to record a stereo output from a stage piano alongside its MIDI data directly into your DAW, all while utilizing the same single XLR cable.
