16-in/16-out Dante Stage Box
Tascam - SB-16D

Top-Quality Audio Begins HereThe Tascam SB-16D is a Dante-enabled active stage box with 16 analogue inputs and 16 analogue outputs. Equipped with 32-bit A/D converters and Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps, the SB-16D analogue interface captures your audio in the highest quality right at the start of the signal path. You can use multiple devices simultaneously in a Dante network – placed on the floor or mounted in a rack.
The SB-16D has the same performance and hardware quality as Tascam Sonicview live recording consoles, offering all the advantages of Dante networking, combined with seamless integration with Sonicview mixers and other Dante-enabled products from Tascam – and other manufacturers.

at a glance
• Dante-enabled stage box and interface with 16 analogue audio inputs and outputs
• Redundant Dante operation using Primary/Secondary lines
• Up to 96 kHz sampling frequency at 32-bit resolution
• Fully controllable from connected Sonicview mixer
• Equipped with etherCON-compatible connectors
Seamless Integration with Sonicview Mixers

easy to useWhen an SB-16D stage box is connected to a Tascam Sonicview, microphone gain can be remotely controlled from the mixing console, and all inputs and outputs come up on the touchscreens for hassle-free ease of use.
Along with this, the SB-16D is equipped with a GPIO interface with eight inputs and outputs. These expand to 16 GPIO ins and outs when connected to a Sonicview mixer, facilitating parallel control.
A Complete Package With the Features You Need

Seamless operationEasily accommodate large ensembles and extensive installed Dante systems using 16 XLR mic/line inputs and 16 XLR line outputs. If you need more, just network multiple SB-16Ds. The mic/line inputs are extremely quiet, achieving –128 dBu EIN and allowing a maximum input level of +32 dBu.
Each input channel offers switchable 48-volt phantom power with indicator as well as signal and overload LEDs for monitoring the input level. Level indicators on the line outputs show the presence of signals.
Superior Networking

Reliable OperationThe SB-16D supports Dante Domain Manager in addition to AES67 and SMPTE 2110 interoperability.
Two Dante ports equipped with etherCON-compatible network connectors allow for redundant streams with robust connections. For increased system reliability, a DC input is provided for a redundant power supply (not included).
Full Remote Control

Use it anywhereIf your SB-16D is onstage, backstage, in a control room or in an equipment closet, you’re always in full control with the free software Tascam IO Control for Windows, macOS and iPadOS.
Manage your stage box from virtually anywhere in the venue, even when the SB-16D is used in standalone mode.
Class 1 HDIA Mic Preamps and 32-Bit ADCs

Best-in-Class SoundWith Sonicview mixers, each microphone input of the SB-16D feeds a Tascam Class 1 HDIA (High Definition Instrumentation Architecture) preamp – the finest mic preamplifier Tascam have ever made.
Thanks to an instrumentation amplifier with incredibly good noise characteristics in the first stage, these microphone preamps exhibit excellent equivalent input noise (EIN), signal-to-noise ratio, distortion ratio and frequency response.
The microphone inputs can handle signal levels up to +32 dBu, providing plenty of headroom for sudden level increases. The combination of Class 1 HDIA preamps, 32-bit ADCs and a sampling frequency of 96 kHz results in best-in-class sound that perform every time.
Flexible Positioning

on the Floor or in a 19-Inch RackIf you want a networked floor box for stage use, or rack-mounted inputs and outputs for recording and broadcast studios and commercial installs, the SB-16D gives you the flexibility you need.
It can be installed in an EIA rack (3U) with the included brackets, which offer two angle options. Mount the jack panel on the front of the rack and take advantage of the SB-16D’s cable hole to conveniently and safely route connected cables in the back.
Large rubber feet keep it stable, even with cables connected, when the SB-16D is used as a floor box. Multiple stage boxes can be stacked for ease of transportation and stability during installation. A handle is also included, making the SB-16D easy to carry.
