This I/O box is designed with multiple scenarios in mind; it works equally well as a stand-alone pair for use with analog mixing consoles, or as part of the trio of a digital mixing solution along with the X32 digital mixer and P16 personal monitoring system. It features AES50 networking with the Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology. The front panel also allows the level and phantom power to be controlled for all inputs and outputs, accompanied by an 8-LED meter and 7-segment display. The currently selected channel can be monitored in mono through a 1/4” TRS headphone jack with level control.
S16 Overview
- 16 Midas-designed, fully programmable mic preamps for audiophile sound quality

- Precise LED metering plus 7-segment displays for signal control on stage
- Dual ADAT outputs providing 16-channel digital output on two optical TOSLINK connectors
- Phones output assignable to any of the inputs/outputs for on-stage monitoring
- MIDI In/Out for bidirectional communication between Behringer X32 Series console and on-stage MIDI devices
- Remote operation via shielded Cat 5e cable up to 330 ft length
- USB connector for system updates via PC
- "Planet Earth" switching power supply for maximum flexibility (100 to 240 VAC), noise-free audio, superior transient response plus low power consumption for energy saving
- "Built like a tank" yet compact, all-steel 2 RU rackmount chassis
Massive Connectivity
When used as part of a complete X32 system, two S16 stage boxes can be cascaded through the built-in AES50 ports, providing connectivity for up to 32 mic / line inputs, 16 balanced outputs, and the powerplay P16 personal monitoring system, which can feed up to 48 individual monitor mixers. It also includes two ADAT sockets (sold separately) for connecting channels 1 to 8 and 9 to 16 to outboard devices, a convenient USB port for system updates via your PC, MIDI I/O for lighting systems, and sound module control.
Standalone Snake Mode
Although it was initially designed for use with the X32 digital console, any mixing board with AES50 networking capability can tap into this powerful feature set. So, if you happen to work on an analog mixing board occasionally, you could use two pairs of S16s and ADA8200s to form a high-performance, lightweight 16 x 16 digital snake, and all on one Cat 5 connection, keeping the preamp remote control functionality.
Remotely Controllable Preamps Make Setup a Breeze
Having to run back and forth to FOH or trying to communicate with a tech on stage tracking down a bad cable or connection can really put a crimp in the gig. S16's ingenious monitoring / head amp control section allows you to select any one of the 16 inputs, 8 bus outputs, or P16 output streams for immediate line checks. In addition to signal metering at the stage box, you can set individual input channel gain, apply +48 V phantom power, and you have the option of listening directly to the input signal via headphones. Once set, all configuration settings can be locked at the console for total system security.
Seamless Integration with P16 Personal Monitoring System
The Ultranet port on the S16 lets you connect directly to the P16 system, which provides an easy way to give your musicians and vocalists what they really want. The P16-M personal mixers let each performer take control of what they hear, allowing you to concentrate on providing the audience with the best possible listening experience. Fast and easy to set up, a basic system can be installed and configured in a matter of minutes and the system can be expanded to adapt to changing needs.
Klark Teknik AES50
The Klark Teknik SuperMAC (AES50 compliant) technology gives the S16 its high-capacity digital interconnectivity with ultralow-latency operation, superbly simple deployment, and ease of use. The engineers worked hand-in-hand with product developers to ensure that the S16 meets or exceeds the requirements of live performance entertainers and their professional audio engineers. Some of the features are as follows:
- 48 bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5 cable (48 kHz)
- 24 bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5 cable (96 kHz)
- Single-cable duplex interconnection for audio and sample clocks
- Ethernet physical layer audio data transmission
- High channel count and ultralow deterministic latency
- Accurate phase-aligned clock distribution
- Comprehensive error detection and management
- Provision for redundant networking
- Minimal configuration, total ease of deployment and use
- Ethernet TCP/IP protocol-compatible auxiliary data channel
