Designed to work seamlessly with PreSonus StudioLive Series III mixers, the PreSonus NSB 16.8 stage box offers 16 locking combo mic/line inputs with remote-controlled XMAX preamps that include gain compensation for shared input scenarios, as well as 16 direct inputs via AVB. All inputs can be controlled from a StudioLive Series III console and from free PreSonus UC Surface software.
All eight outputs employ locking XLR jacks, while the built-in 2-port AVB switch lets you daisy-chain multiple units. The rugged steel chassis with sturdy handles is designed with a stage box form factor and allows the NSB 16.8 to sit well on the stage and survive the rigors of on-the-road wear and tear. The unit can be rackmounted with an optional rack-ear kit.
