Optimize and Streamline Your Stage Setup

Bridge the gap between the band, FOH engineer, and audience with the PreSonus NSB16.8 AVB-networked stage box. Fitted with 16 locking combo mic/line inputs and eight locking XLR line outputs, the NSB16.8 features remote-controllable XMAX Class A preamps, gain compensation for shared inputs, and easy setup and control from a StudioLive Series III console and the free PreSonus UC Surface software. A 2-port AVB switch facilitates chaining multiple units and provides integration with PreSonus EarMix personal mixers.

Remote-controllable preamps make setup fast, easy, and painless

We've managed countless live shows here at DJ Band Supply; no one likes having to run up to the stage every time you have to make an adjustment to your stage box preamps. Thanks to the PreSonus NSB16.8's remote-controllable XMAX preamps, those back-and-forth cross-venue dashes are a thing of the past. The pres will show up in your StudioLive Series III console, giving you the control you need over your preamps, right from front-of-house. And by the way, these preamps are the exact same Class A XMAX preamps found in your StudioLive board, so you know you're getting quality sound with low noise and tons of headroom.

Total integration with the PreSonus EarMix personal monitoring system

When you add a PreSonus NSB16.8 to your PA setup, you're not just getting a great set of remote-controllable preamps and ditching tons of bulky cable, you're ready to add an advanced personal monitoring system directly inline with the rig you already have. That's because your NSB16.8 comes equipped with AVB connectivity, which provides your EarMix monitor controllers with a digital split straight from the stage box!
