Stage-B16 front

 

MOTU have been going all-out with their AVB boxes and have just added a new unit to the line up with the Stage B16. Designed as a cover-all for live sound, the B16 works as either a stage box, a stand-alone digital mixer or an audio interface all in one box.

In terms of connectivity, the B16 is loaded with 16 microphone inputs, 8 balanced outputs, 4 channels of digital AES and headphone outputs. In addition to this there is the ethernet connection for connecting to an AVB network.

DSP delivers large console style mixing with 48 channels, 12 stereo busses, and 32-bit floating point effects processing, including modeled analog EQ, vintage compression and classic reverb. There's even an iPad app for wireless control.
