The Tascam SB-16D Dante Stage Box is a high-end audio I/O connectivity device designed for Dante networks. It is specifically designed to complement the Tascam SonicView mixers. With its 16-in/16-out configuration, this stage box offers a wide range of routing options for both live and studio work. It is equipped with XLR mic/line inputs, complete with +48V Phantom Power. Each of the 16 inputs/outputs is fitted with SIG OL LED indicators, allowing for easy signal monitoring. The SB-16D ensures maximum signal integrity and sound reproduction with its sampling rates of up to 96kHz and 32-bit precision. While it functions as a standard Dante stage box, it can be fully controlled via the Tascam SonicView mixer range. It can be mounted on the floor or in a rack, requiring 3U of rack space for live/studio installations. The SB-16D can also be remotely controlled through the Tascam IO control app on macOS, Windows, and iPadOS.
For flexibility in routing options, the Tascam SB-16D Dante Stage Box is the ultimate solution for high-quality audio recording, mixing, and playback. It combines professional-grade Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps, 32-bit A/D converters, and Dante networking capabilities. This makes it the perfect choice for any live sound or studio application. With its 16 XLR mic/line inputs and 16 XLR line outputs, the SB-16D is ideal for large ensembles and extensive installed Dante systems. It also supports Dante Domain Manager, AES67, and SMPTE 2110 interoperability. It features two Dante ports with etherCON-compatible network connectors for robust connections. Additionally, it has a DC input for a redundant power supply (not included) to enhance system reliability.
Equipped with Tascam’s renowned Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps, the SB-16D delivers high-end sound quality. It offers exceptional sound reproduction with an ultra-low EIN of -128 dBu and a maximum input level of +32 dBu. This ensures pristine sound quality with plenty of headroom for sudden level increases. The combination of Class 1 HDIA preamps, 32-bit ADCs, and a sampling frequency of 96 kHz provides best-in-class sound.
When connected to a Tascam SonicView mixing console, the SB-16D allows for remote control of microphone gain and seamless integration of inputs and outputs on the touchscreen. It is also equipped with a GPIO interface with eight inputs and outputs, which expand to 16 GPIO ins and outs when connected to a Sonicview mixer, allowing for parallel control.
The SB-16D is versatile in its mounting options. It can be positioned on the floor or mounted in a 19-inch rack, making it ideal for both stage and studio applications. It offers the same 16 XLR mic/line inputs and 16 XLR line outputs, making it suitable for large ensembles and extensive installed Dante systems. It also supports Dante Domain Manager, AES67, and SMPTE 2110 interoperability, with two Dante ports equipped with etherCON-compatible network connectors for robust connections. Additionally, it has a DC input for a redundant power supply (not included) to enhance system reliability.
For advanced users, the Tascam SB-16D can be controlled via the Tascam IO Control software on Windows, macOS, and iPadOS. This software allows for full control of every function and connection on the SB-16D. Real-time monitoring is provided with graphic metering, allowing for easy monitoring of connections. Users can also change sampling frequency, digital and analog reference levels, and more.
The package includes the SB-16D, power cord options for various regions, rack mount angle and screw kits, Tascam ID registration guide, and owner’s manual with warranty.
Key features of the SB-16D include its 16 analog audio I/O connectivity, redundant Dante operation, etherCON-compatible connectors, support for Dante Domain Manager, compatibility with AES67 for connecting to Ravenna and other compatible audio networks, SMPTE 2110 data transfer compliance, 16 balanced XLR mic/line inputs with switchable Phantom Power and overload indicators, 16 balanced line XLR outputs with signal indicators, 96kHz sampling rate with 32-bit resolution, flexible floor/rack mounting options, deep integration with Sonicview mixer range, remote control capability through Tascam IO Control software, selectable reference level, and a GPIO interface with expandable inputs and outputs when connected to a Sonicview mixer.
The specifications of the SB-16D include dimensions of 454(W) x 140 (H) x 179.6 (D) mm (with the original foot attached) or 482.8(W) x 132(H) x 120(D) mm (with rack mount angle attached). The weight is 4.5kg / 9.93 lb. It requires an AC power supply of AC100V 240V 50/60 Hz or a DC power supply of DC11V/4A – 27V/2A. The power consumption is 44W.
Product Code: SB-16D.
Overall, the Tascam SB-16D Dante Stage Box provides high-quality audio I/O connectivity for Dante networks, making it an excellent choice for live sound and studio applications. Its versatile features, flexibility in routing options, and seamless integration with SonicView mixers make it a reliable and convenient solution for any audio setup.
