About this listing
A perfect partner for StudioLive Series III consoles.
Designed to work seamlessly with PreSonus® ,
the PreSonus NSB 8.8 is an 8-in, 8-out stage box that sets up quickly
and easily to route signals from stage to mixer over an AVB network.
With AVB networking, all signals flow through one lightweight CAT5e or
CAT6 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a heavy, expensive copper
snake—and the signal degradation that goes with long analog cable runs.
You can even remote control the NSB 8.8’s inputs, preamps, and phantom
power from your networked Series III console or from free PreSonus
Making connections—lots of them.
A stage box is all about analog connectivity, and the NSB 8.8 gives
you plenty. You get eight locking combo mic/line inputs equipped with
our famous remote-controlled, Class A solid-state XMAX preamps,
including gain compensation for shared input scenarios. All line inputs
can be controlled from a StudioLive Series III console and from free
PreSonus UC Surface software. All eight outputs employ locking XLR
jacks. If that’s not enough, a built-in 2-port AVB switch lets you
daisy-chain multiple units, giving you enough connections for even the
largest shows and installations.
What is an AVB network?
Audio networking is much more than just a way to connect a digital
snake. With an AVB network, you can connect digital audio devices over
long distances using CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable and route your audio
anywhere on the network with extremely low latency. AVB offers several
unique benefits that make it a better choice for audio than other
networking protocols. For example, AVB provides a high-precision clock
that significantly reduces harmonic distortion and phasing, ensuring
your audio stays clear and clean. AVB ensures you always have enough
bandwidth to carry your low latency audio—even when your intern starts
streaming a movie. These important benefits are an inherent part of AVB;
you don’t need to do anything special to your devices or AVB switch.
And you can only get them with AVB.
Tough enough for the most demanding tours.
Even if you baby your equipment, your stage boxes are likely to take a
beating, especially on extended tours. But no matter how demanding the
conditions, stage box failure is not an option. So we built the NSB 8.8
into a rugged steel chassis designed to survive the rigors of the road,
and we equipped it with sturdy handles. Its classic stage box form
factor allows the NSB 8.8 to sit well on the stage, or it can be rack
mounted with an optional rack-ear kit. The NSB 8.8 also is compatible
with stage pockets from Ace Backstage.
Everything you need...
and then some.
“StudioLive” doesn’t just mean “digital mixers.” StudioLive Series
III is all about top-to-bottom, wall-to-wall mix solutions with a lineup
now featuring digital consoles, rack mixers, personal monitoring units
and stage boxes. And because Series III has AVB at its core, you get to
expand your audio network over time to fit your needs.
With Series III, you can track in your home studio on Friday and then
mix front of house at a dive bar on Saturday night. You’ll still have
what you need to run monitors on Sunday morning.
