General

The Behringer X32 PA mixer is a popular product. A PA mixer alone usually isn't enough, though. This is why Behringer have developed this S16 digital snake, a digital break-out box that works via a network connection. A network connection is made via an AES50 connection between your X16, X32 or another AES50-compatible, digital PA mixer. Thanks to the fast contemporary network speeds, thick multi-cables are no long required and signal loss is kept to a minimum. Besides that, you will be able to enjoy steady audio quality directly from the source onwards, as the S16 is equipped with on-board microphone preamps that can be remote controlled. This allows you to neutralise the signal before the signals are sent to your mixer. The microphone preamps are equipped with phantom power!

Optimal connectivity with the S16
The S16 is equipped with 16 inputs with high-quality microphone preamps, as well as 8 servo-balanced XLR outputs. You are supplied with a nice collection of inputs and outputs! By means of an AES50 network, you can use several S16 armatures, so that you can, for instance, make use of 32 inputs and 16 outputs. An ADAT interface is also included, so that channels 1-8 and 9-16 can be separately copied to external peripherals. This could come in handy for concert recordings, where it isn't always the PA sound that needs to be recorded.

Klark Teknik and Behringer join forces!
Klark Teknik have clearly had a hand in the development of this digital snake. Thanks to their contribution, the most extreme performances can become a reality! You can, for instance, control 48 channels bidirectionally via CAT5 with a 48 kHz sample rate, or 24 bidirectional audio signals at 96 kHz! This means that optimal digital quality is maintained, preventing that signal loss and disturbance-sensitive elements become a weak link in the chain.

A must-have companion to the X32. Works reliably as long as you use the correct spec cables for AES50. The phantom power lights on each channel are handy to avoid accidentally plugging into anything that might get upset like laptops or radio mic receivers. The build quality is excellent at this price point and, touch wood, I've yet to have the latches fail on any of the XLR connectors.

I bought this to go along with the x32 compact and have them connected using a cat6 cable.

It’s really easy to set up and I’ve had no issues at all. Being able to control 48v and each mic pre amp from the stagebox is great. Having this amount of functionality is brilliant. My only slight niggle with it is that there isn’t enough space for tape to label the channels (but that’s me properly nit-picking). I highly recommend it.

Excellent produit, en complément d'une X32 Compact

Une fois qu'on a compris le principe de connexion et de programmation à la table, c'est quasi plug and play !

Livraison rapide, prix canon, bravo Bax Shop !

Goede snake voor op het podium.
We hebben hem jaren met veel plezier gebruikt.
Geen dikke kabels meer naar 'front of house' en perfecte integratie met de X32.
We hebben hem wel weer ingeruild voor z'n grotere broertje omdat we ingangen te weinig hadden, maar dat doet niks af aan het product :)

S16!

Deze digitale stagebox werkt erg goed met de X32 en X32C.

Makkelijk te gebruiken!

Met 1 utp kabel aan te sluiten.

Met gebruik van 2x s16 in totaal 32 inputs en 16 outputs tot je beschikking!

Ik heb er 1 gekocht, maar er komt zeker een 2de stagebox bij!

Wanneer men bvb nog geen snake heeft bij gebruik van een lid van de X32 famillie, is deze digitale snake zeker aan te bevelen

Het is zelfs mogelijk om bij gebruik van minimum twee van deze toestellen een stand-alone snake te maken voor analoge mixers

Het gebruiksgemak ligt erin dat men de audiosignalen over een cat5 kabel kan versturen
Wat toch een minder kostelijke zaak is dan een bvb 40-aderige volwaardige snake kabel
Zeker wanneer ruimte, gewicht en handelbaarheid van toepassing zijn

Kortom een serieuze aanvulling in de X32 famillie

Sinds kort heb ik de snake in gebruik, gekoppeld aan de X32. Werkt perfect, gemakkelijk te configureren en alles te bedienen vanaf de X32. Aangezien we veel op verschillende locaties werken, is het ideaal dat je niet meer telkens bossen met (multi)kabels naar de x32 hoeft te brengen. 1 kabel aansluiten en alles werkt. Momenteel gebruiken we 1 snake, maar ik sluit niet uit dat er binnenkort een 2e bij komt.
Het is een absolute aanrader!

Wat een gemak! Aansluiten op mijn X32 via een enkele cat5 kabel ipv het uitrollen en aansluiten van een multi. Ik heb de S16 ingebouwd in mijn versterkerrack, alle verbindingen naar driverack en versterkers zijn al voorgepatched, scheelt alles bij elkaar een hoop aansluitwerk. Configureren van de X32 is 5 minuten werk, ik ben een heel tevreden gebruiker, en zoals altijd binnen een dag in huis, top!

Gewoon perfect! Ik gebruik 2 stuks in combinatie met de X32 en het is bijna Plug&Play. Werkt als een speer, met 50 meter FTP (netwerk) kabel er tussen.
De bedieningsmogelijkheden op de voorkant voor het instellen van de Gain en de 48v zijn ook erg handig. Terwijl je alles op het podium aansluit, kun je gelijk (met een koptelefoon) testen of signaal binnenkomt en alvast 48v en gain instellen. Ik maakte me eerst nog zorgen over deze knoppen, want wat gebeurt er als iemand tijdens de show op die knoppen gaat zitten drukken... Maar het blijkt dat je via de Setup in de X32 deze digitale snake op slot kunt zetten (locked), zodat bediening op de snake niet meer mogelijk is.
