Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MSB-32R connect microphones and instruments to my main mixing console?
The MSB-32R accepts 32 analogue inputs on stage, converting them to digital signals sent via MADI or USB to your main console located remotely. This keeps your console away from stage clutter and noise while maintaining clean signal paths.
Can I extend the MSB-32R with additional outputs for monitoring band members on stage?
Yes, the unit offers 8 analogue outputs plus 4 pairs of AES digital outputs, ideal for creating separate monitor mixes and feeding stage speakers or IEM packs without routing through the main console.
What distance can the MSB-32R transmit signals from the main console?
MADI connectivity enables transmission over extended cable runs typical in concert venues and touring setups, while the USB Si option card works over shorter distances with compatible Si Series consoles.
