Behringer SC16-I StageConnect Interface w/ 16 x XLR Inputs

Eight TRIAD mic preamps with individually switchable 48V phantom power anchor channels 1–8 of this StageConnect analog front-end, while channels 9–16 provide eight additional line-level combo inputs accepting XLR or TRS. The SC16-I puts sixteen sources onto the StageConnect bus over a single XLR cable, eliminating multi-cable runs between stage and front of house. Behringer's TRIAD preamp design delivers high common-mode rejection for noise-free signal, stable performance across varying source impedances, and precise 0.5 dB analog gain steps on every channel.

Remote control runs through any StageConnect-enabled console or via USB from the desktop control panel, allowing gain and preamp parameter adjustments from front of house without mid-show trips to the rack. The system transmits 32 channels of bidirectional audio with sub-millisecond latency at 44.1/48 kHz and 24-bit resolution over standard 3-pin XLR, DMX, or short-run microphone cable. Ultranet input and output ports feed personal monitoring systems from Midas, Behringer, Klark Teknik, or Turbosound directly from the stage, with remote power delivered over the StageConnect cable itself.

MIDI input command transmission keeps control data on the same infrastructure as audio, routing to other StageConnect products such as the SC-U USB interface. A stage piano's stereo output and its MIDI data stream both reach the DAW through the same XLR cable run. The 19-inch 1U metal enclosure rack-mounts into standard audio racks and maintains full compatibility with all StageConnect devices from Midas, Behringer, and Klark Teknik.
