SB168 -ES
Stage Box
Rear Panel
Versatile 16-in/8-out EtherSound stage box for various Yamaha digital mixers.
An affordable 3U-size stage box that utilizes reliable, low-latency EtherSound technology for digital audio signal transmission.
16 channels of sonically superb remote analog input — each with its own mic/line head amp — plus 8 channels of analog output.
Audio can be transferred over distances up to 100 meters via standard CAT5e Ethernet cables (maximum distance may depend on
cable performance).
The SB168-ES can be used as a general-purpose analog-EtherSound I/O box.
Handles uncompressed 24-bit audio at 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates.
Internal head amplifier gain and +48V phantom power switching can be remotely controlled from a compatible digital mixing console
or from the AuviTran™ AVS-ESMonitor software.
Up to four SB168-ES units can be linked to provide a total of 64 inputs and 32 outputs (maximum number may depend on the mixing
console used).
An ideal choice for use with popular digital consoles such as the Yamaha PM5D, LS9, or M7CL.
Compared to conventional analog console + analog multi-core systems the SB168-ES provides exceptionally high noise resistance and
makes it possible to keep microphone cables short for optimum signal quality.
Easy set-up reduces the time, effort, and cost of installation.

*1 Total harmonic distortion is measured with a 18dB/Oct filter @80kHz.
*2 Hum & noise level is measured with a 6dB/oct filter @12.7kHz; equivalent to 20kHz filter with
infinite dB/Oct attenuation.
* Crosstalk is measured with a 30dB/octave filter @22kHz.
