TheSTAGEBOX Range
Affordable High Quality And Density

A Studer digital mixing system
consists of several elements: Thecontrol surface from the OnAir orVista range, a local rack containing
the SCore Live processing engine,and one or multiple D21m I/O
frames.
The well-received D21m high-density
I/O system (above right, integratedwith an SCore Live) allows selection
from a comprehensive range ofanalog or digital input and output
cards for convenient interfacing withthe format you need, as well as GPIO
open-collector or contact-closure
cards for control requirements. For
more information on the D21m I/O
system please refer to the document
BD10.275102.
In addition, a selection of stageboxes
may be connected – either
assembled from the D21m system,
or from the new Studer Stagebox
range.
Pristine sound quality is assured by a
combination of ultra-low noise,transformer-balanced mic amps andStuder advanced 40-bit floating point
digital audio processing. All input
channels can have direct outputs inaddition to their internal routing toGroup/Aux/Matrix busses, and to themain 5.1, LCR, LR or mono busses.
Complete security is provided bydiagnostics of the separate control
surface, local rack and stagebox
power supplies from the mixing
position, with the facility to add
second redundant supplies to each.
The stageboxes conveniently
connect to the local rack via Cat5or Cat7 cable, with fibre opticalinterfacing available as an option. Up
to 5 stageboxes can be connected
to create a digital patchbay fromwhich the engineer can selectavailable inputs. A series of optional
interface cards, designed to fit either
the local rack or stagebox, enable
the consoles to directly interface
with a wide range of other systems
and audio networks using industry
standard protocols.

The Vi Stagebox
The 6U Vi Stagebox (below) houses
64 transformer-balanced mic/line
inputs and 32 analogue line outputs.
Mic/line amp gain, 48 V phantom
power and 100 Hz lo-cut filter
before the A-D converters can becontrolled remotely from the desk.
Optional AES/EBU, CobraNet®,
Ethersound® or Aviom A-Net® 16
cards are available.

64-channel MADI I/O via RJF
connectors is fitted as standard
for the link to the SCore Live.
The unit comes complete withtwin redundant power supplies,
thermostatically-controlled
fan cooling and full LED statusmonitoring. An 8-channel GPIO
interface is also provided. Cat5 or
Cat7 cables with Amphenol RJF
connectors provide a convenient,highly robust connection between

the stagebox(es) and the SCore
Live local rack. Flexible, reelmounted Cat5 cabling enables themixing position to be located up to
100 metres from the stage, while
Cat7 increases that distance by
30 metres in fixed installations. In
larger venues and installations, an
optional optical-fibre SC interface
allows a run of up to 1.5 kilometresbetween the stagebox and the localrack.

Available I/O modules (optional):• 8-channel XLR Mic/Line In• 8-channel XLR Line Out• 8-channel XLR AES/EBU In• 8-channel XLR AES/EBU Out• CobraNet® 32-channel In/Out• Aviom A-Net® 16-channel Out• Ethersound® 64-channel In/Out.

input Vi Stagebox is hooked up, andit shares the same redundant MADI
cable capability. The unit comescomplete with twin redundant power
supplies, thermostatically-controlled
fan cooling and full LED statusmonitoring. An 8-channel GPIO
interface is also provided.

Note: The Studer Vi Stagebox is notsupported by Studer OnAir systems.

The Compact Stagebox adds a costeffective expansion option, offeringa high density of I/O connections in
only 4U of rack space. The modular
unit is fully configurable but isoffered with a standard configurationof 32 mic/line inputs and 16 lineoutputs. It is possible to equip theCompact Stagebox with an additional
16 mic/line input module instead of
the output module, then providing 48
inputs. In this case, analogue or AES/
EBU outputs can still be obtained on
D-Type connectors via D21m cards
fitted to the expansion slots.
The expansion slots for standard
Studer D21m I/O cards may be
used for interfaces connecting
to most popular digital formats,including CobraNet® or Aviom
A-Net® 16, Ethersound, ADAT, TDIF,SDI (SD/HD/3G), Dolby® E andDolby® Digital. A MADI recording
interface can be fitted to theexpansion slots as well.
The Compact Stagebox is connectedto the host console using either
Cat5/7 or Optical-fibre MADI, thesame way as the larger 64 mic/line

Available I/O modules (optional):• 16-channel XLR Mic/Line In• 16-channel XLR Line Out• 8-channel XLR Line Out + 4x2channel AES/EBU Out
Available D21m I/O expansion cards(optional):• 4-channel D-type Mic/Line In with
4 Direct Outputs
