Soundcraft MSB-32i 32-Channel Digital Stagebox

The Soundcraft MSB-32i is a 32-channel digital stagebox engineered to simplify live sound infrastructure for touring and installed applications. At its core are 32 Studer-designed remote-controlled mic preamps, delivering the audio quality associated with Studer's decades of professional console design. By converting analog signals to digital at the stage and transmitting them over dual MADI connections, the MSB-32i eliminates the need for heavy, failure-prone multi-pair analog snakes. A single RJ45/Cat5 cable handles remote control communication over distances up to 100 meters, dramatically reducing cable runs and setup time.

Housed in a compact 3U rack-mount chassis, the MSB-32i is designed to integrate seamlessly with Soundcraft Si Series mixing consoles. Engineers can adjust all 32 preamp gains, pad settings, and phantom power directly from the console surface without leaving the mix position. The stagebox also provides 12 XLR analog line level outputs for feeding stage monitors, in-ear systems, or other local equipment. Dual MADI ports offer connection redundancy, ensuring that a single cable failure does not bring down the entire audio path during a critical performance. For any production team running Soundcraft Si Series desks, the MSB-32i represents a practical, professional upgrade from traditional analog stage connectivity.
