Frequently Asked Questions
How many total inputs and outputs does this 9U stage box provide?
The ViSB 64:32 C5 supplies 64 balanced microphone and line inputs with 32 balanced line outputs, giving you substantial I/O for large events and distributed systems.
What is the advantage of a dedicated stage box separate from the console?
A remote stage box places audio connectors at the stage while the console sits at front-of-house. This eliminates long analog cable runs and centralizes mixing control away from the performance area.
How does Cat5 connectivity work for this stage box?
Standard Cat5 Ethernet cable runs from the stage box to the Vi console, carrying all 64 inputs and 32 outputs digitally. This single network cable replaces massive analog multi-conductor bundles.
Can I adjust phantom power, gain, and low-cut per channel from the console?
Yes, the ViSB 64:32 C5 supports full remote control of phantom power, microphone gain, and high-pass filtering for all input channels directly from the mixing console.
Is this stage box suitable for permanent theater installations?
Yes, the ViSB is built for both touring and permanent theater, broadcast, and venue installations. Its flexible I/O supports any professional live sound or broadcast scenario.
