Behringer SC88 8-In 8-Out StageConnect Interface

Eight Inputs and Eight Outputs over a Single StageConnect Connection

The Behringer SC88 combines eight analogue inputs and eight analogue outputs in one 1U StageConnect interface. Eight balanced combo inputs use TRIAD microphone preamps with individually switchable 48V phantom power, high common-mode rejection and fine 0.5 dB analogue gain steps, giving you precise control when setting microphone and source levels.

On the output side, eight balanced XLR line outputs use high-performance ESS DAC conversion to return StageConnect audio to amplifiers, monitors, consoles or other analogue equipment. StageConnect carries up to 32 channels of bidirectional 24-bit audio at 44.1 or 48 kHz with sub-millisecond latency over standard 3-pin XLR or DMX cable, or microphone cable for short runs.

Preamp settings can be adjusted remotely from StageConnect-enabled consoles or from the desktop control panel over USB. Ultranet input and output ports add integration with compatible monitoring and processing systems, while MIDI commands can travel between compatible StageConnect products alongside the audio infrastructure.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this StageConnect interface is ideal for live and rack systems that need analogue I/O in both directions without dedicating separate units to inputs and outputs.
