Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 32i Compact Digital Stagebox with Remote Controlled I/O

The Mini Stagebox 32i extends your mixing console's input architecture with professional-grade remote-controlled I/O management in a compact 3 RU rack format. This unit provides 32 channels of pristine digital I/O with Studer-designed mic preamps, making it an essential expander for multitrack recording sessions, live streaming setups, or distributed recording environments where microphone sources exceed your console's onboard input count. At this price point, you're acquiring commercial-grade I/O infrastructure that typically commands significantly higher investment new.

I/O Architecture & Connectivity for Recording Sessions

The stagebox integrates 32 XLR mic preamp inputs with 12 analog outputs, plus 2 MADI over RJ45/Cat5 connectors rated for cable runs up to 328 feet (100m). This connectivity scheme allows you to position the stagebox in an isolation booth, iso cab array, or remote recording location while maintaining full remote control and audio integration with your primary console via single Cat5 cable, eliminating the need for long analog snake runs and the signal degradation they introduce.

Audio Performance & Operating Characteristics

The Studer-designed mic preamps deliver transparent gain with E.I.N. noise below 0.015% and frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz ±0.5dB, ensuring clean capture across the full audio spectrum for accurate recording and mix-ready source tracking. Latency measures just 1.5ms from stagebox input to console and back to output—tight enough for real-time monitoring, zero-latency cue sends, and confidence headphone mixes—while the fanless design guarantees silent operation critical in studio and broadcast environments.
