Step into the digital age. Bridge the gap between band FOH and audience with the Behringer S32 Digital Stagebox. The sleek, fast, rugged unit provides you with 32 remote controllable Midas-designed microphone preamps. The unit is connected via a single Cat 5e cable. Yes, you read it correctly, one cable. Thanks to the integrated SuperMac technology created by Klark Teknik, you’ll no longer have to endure the vigors of extensive analog set ups.
Behringer understands the high-pressure nature of live shows and has created a workhorse. The comprehensive functionality and professional components make the S32 the ideal choice for most FOH applications. This is excellent for freeing up your time to focus on what’s most important – the music.
Remote controlled preamps ensure fast and seamless setups thanks to the remote controllable preamps feature in the S32. Long gone are the days of having to rush across venues, adjusting controls and connections. Thanks to the remote control preamps, you’ll save time and energy, allowing you to focus on what’s most important – delivering excellent sound. Incorporating the Klark Teknik SuperMAC protocol, the S32 can be connected to your digital mixer’s operating system, giving you added control over your preamps wherever you’re positioned. Combine this with the same Midas-designed preamps from the X32 console, and you have a premium quality, diverse FOH system.
Another unique feature of the S32 is the ability to connect the digital snake to a collection of popular digital mixers. The unit will connect to any digital mixer that has an AES50 digital Ethernet connection. This gives you added versatility over your connections and provides you with a seamless connected configuration, all controllable by remote or your digital mixer. The unit is also fully rack-mountable with an all-steel 3U durable rack-mount chassis, adding flexibility to your installations and touring rigs.
MIDAS – premium sound quality. MIDAS is renowned for their award-winning Mic Preamps, which are considered by many professionals as the industry’s best sounding units. With this exceptional reputation in the audio world, Behringer has incorporated MIDAS-designed mic preamps into the S32 to ensure the highest quality audio reproduction in any professional audio setting.
The connectivity possibilities are massive when it comes to the S32. With its multitude of inputs and outputs, plus its expanded connectivity options, the S32 is designed to deliver expansive connectivity possibilities. When used in conjunction with a complete X32 system, two S32 units can be linked together through the AES50 ports, allowing for up to 64 mic/line inputs and 32 balanced outputs. Also included are two optical ADAT ports and two AES-3 ports, allowing for connectivity to your outboard devices, plus MIDI I/O for lighting system and sound module control. Also featured in the S32 is a USB port for system updates via your computer.
