The NSB 32.16 provides 32 locking combo mic/line inputs with PreSonus’ digitally controlled, Class A, solid-state XMAX mic preamps; 32 balanced TRS, ¼-inch, line-level inputs; 16 balanced XLR, line-level analog outputs; and 2 stereo AES3 digital outputs on XLR connectors. Input trim, phantom power, and more can be remote-controlled from a StudioLive Series III console or using free PreSonus UC Surface control software
Like all NSB-series stage boxes, the NSB 32.16 can provide inputs for multiple StudioLive Series III digital mixers on an AVB network, so it’s possible to send audio from the stage to a front-of-house mixer, monitor mixer, broadcast mixer, and more, all from the same NSB 32.16. NSB-series stage boxes feature onboard DSP that provides gain compensation on every input, enabling each mixer on the network to make gain adjustments relative to the level set on the master mixer. In this way, every mixer can adjust the preamp level locally for optimal gain staging.
“We’re excited to extend our StudioLive Series III AVB ecosystem,” says Senior Product Manager Ray Tantzen. “Responding to our customers’ needs is at the heart of everything we do, and from StudioLive 32SC customers looking for a compact, 32-channel mixing solution to StudioLive 64S installations that require remote I/O, the NSB 32.16 is a product our customers have requested and we are happy to add it to the NSB-series stagebox lineup.”
