Stage Box
The Stage box contains the main Input
connections for all microphones and
line level sources, and also acts as the
distribution point for the 32 (or 24) line
outputs. Analogue inputs and outputs are
all on XLR-type connectors.
Standard connection to the Local Rack is
via a Cat5 or Cat7 cable, using Ethercon
connectors. (A breakout panel converting
to Amphenol RJF connectors is supplied).
The Stagebox to Local Rack link cables
use Amphenol RJF connectors, and can
be up to 80m of approved cable (Neutrik
Etherflex) or 130m of Cat 7 Installation
cable (AMP Netconnect PiMF). A second
cable offers redundancy in the event of
cable failure.
If required, the Stagebox can be supplied
with a fibre-optic redundant connection to
the Local Rack.
Optional AES/EBU inputs and outputs
Each analogue input card contains 8
inputs. This can be replaced by an
optional AES/EBU input card which holds
4 pairs of AES/EBU inputs, with built-in
Sample Rate Convertors.
Similarly, each analogue output card con-
tains 8 outputs. This can be replaced by
an optional AES/EBU output card which
holds 4 pairs of AES/EBU outputs.
GPIO
There are 8 sets of GPIO (general
purpose input/output) contact closures,
for use with triggering external equipment
or receiving switch commands.
Rack hardware
The stagebox is housed in a flight-cased
rack, the total capacity it occupies is 8U
(8 rack units) including the fan and filter
units.
The Stagebox is normally supplied in a
flightcase, but can also be mounted in an
installation rack, along with the fan and
filter units.
