The Behringer SD16 Digital Snake Box will revolutionize your workflow. Connecting the stage to your console can be hard work. Traditional stage snakes get messy and untangling your cables will take time. The SD16 solves this issue with ease, connecting your whole stage setup to the front of house with one CAT5e cable.
And with 16 MIDAS designed mic preamps, 8 XLR outputs, and dual AES50 ports on board, you’re guaranteed to receive the industry standard of professional live sound. Take your SD16 anywhere. The compact design is built for life on the road. Add to this a modest price-tag and you’re just one step away from becoming an even better sound engineer.
The Best Sound in the Industry
Get ready to exceed all expectations. The Behringer SD16 proudly incorporates MIDAS technology for unrivaled sound quality. Having been championed by the likes of Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and The Rolling Stones, it’s easy to see why MIDAS is the first choice from the world’s leading industry experts. The SD16 is no exception. 16 Fully programmable mic pre-amps let you join the best in the business, promising sonic-flexibility, dynamic control, and acclaimed warmth.
Quick, Easy, and Comfortable Set-up
No matter where you are, the Behringer SD16 is ready to optimize your set-up. It’s as easy as plug in and play. One shielded CAT5e cable connects your pre-amps, outputs, and 4 port Ultranet distribution hub to a front of house console up to 330ft/100m away. From there, you’ll have full control of virtually all parameters. That’s everything in one place, right at your fingertips.
Connect Everything
The SD16 has a lot to offer. But what if you need more? It’s easy. Behringer has worked closely with Klark Teknik engineers, building upon their 40+ years of award-winning expertise to ensure ultra-low latency digital connectivity. Combine multiple SD16 Snake Boxes for even more channels via the SuperMAC dual AES50 network ports. And when used as part of a complete X32 system, you can create up to 48 bidirectional channels and 24 balanced XLR outputs.
No DI Box? No problem. Connect your acoustic guitar, keyboard, or bass guitar directly into one of two Hi-Z source compatible inputs. Personal mixing is easy too. Just plug your Behringer POWERPLAY P16-M into the built-in Ultranet distribution hub. With 4 ports and +48V phantom power on board, you can achieve the perfect monitor mix for everyone on stage.
