Behringer s-1611/26/2022 ![]() ![]() We also included 2 optical ADAT sockets for connecting channels 1 - 8 and 9 - 16 to outboard devices, a convenient USB port for system updates via your PC – and MIDI I/O for lighting systems and sound module control. When used as part of a complete X32 system, two S16 Stage Boxes can be cascaded via the built-in AES50 ports, providing connectivity for up to 32 mic/line inputs, 16 balanced outputs and the awesome POWERPLAY P-16 Personal Monitoring System – which can feed up to 48 individual monitor mixers. ![]() Once set, all configuration settings can be locked at the console for total system security. In addition to signal metering at the stage box, you can also set individual input channel Gain, apply +48 V phantom power – and listen directly to the input signal via headphones and much more. It's all been said before.S16’s ingenious monitoring/head amp control section allows you to select any of the 16 inputs, 8 bus outputs or P-16 output streams for immediate line checks. But I see that the Midas preamps is what ramps up the price in both the X32 and the S16s, so it's all good, I guess!Īnyway, they are part of a brilliant, cheap system, that gives me a looot of functionality. I just wish they weren't quite that expensive, maybe one to two hundred euros cheaper. Plus some older Behringer speakers which also had a power supply that failed.īut when that problem was fixed, I can't complain about anything. The Behringer S16 Digital Snake I/O Box takes the burden out of connecting your FOH (Front of House) console with the talent monitor. I have an older Behringer mixer, which also had a power supply that failed and had to be sent back. What that also tells, is that of course Behringer cuts some corners even on these a little bit more high-quality products. ![]() Had it been a CAT-5 cable, we could have just replaced that one cable cheaply. One of our helpers even managed to dig through the multicore with a shovel, so it lost a few channels. That was a bit sad, as I had to dig out the analog multicore the following concert to cover the last inputs. I ordered two S16s, but one of them had a faulty power supply, so I had to send it back. No instability or strangeness - just works. You turn it on, plug it into one of the AES50 ports on the X32, and it simply works. The sound is as good as it gets, and the protocol is so easy to use that it's crazy. Might have to put that one on the Xmas list :) ADA8000-1- ^^ Balanced XLR outs to stereo Jack (disconnect ring wire) ^^Ĭymatic have just released the UTrack X32 card which is available at Thomann this looks very interesting and does the same job at on the mixer side but allows 32!!! channel recording to usb HDD. ![]() Cymatic LR16- Insert Jacks on LR16 (no ring connected on TRS) Here is the format for the 6U short depth rack: I just hit record at the start of the gig and it captures everything I need for remixing later. So now I can record 16 individual tracks onto the LR16 independently and at the same time whilst still using all the S16's functions and best of all it all fits nicely into a 6U SHORT rack for placing on stage. I have the ADA8000 outs plugged into a Cymatic LR16 which I place in a short rack drawer with the back panel unscrewed to reveal the input jacks it also fits the USB hard disk. Using this I have hooked up each of the ADATs to Behringer ADA8000s which converts the signal to analogue. Interestingly, the ADAT outs on the S16 can be assigned to different AES50 lines from the outs on the front the S16 meaning that you can send different signals to the ADAT outs if you wish. It works when this is cascaded to it's sister the SD16 on the same AES50 link with long 50 meter Ethernet cables between both the units and the mixer I get solid sync and great performance from both units at the same time. I have been using this in a short depth rack now for a couple of months and it works really well taking just 2U spaces. This is a great companion to the X32 mixer. ![]()
