Soundcraft Mini Stagebox MSB-32R - 5049659
Description
Soundcraft Mini Stagebox MSB-32R
The Mini Stagebox MSB-32R is a compact yet powerful stage I/O interface built for touring musicians and professional installations where reliability can't be compromised. Its 3U rack form factor fits seamlessly into standard equipment racks, while the fanless design ensures silent operation—critical when every acoustic detail matters on stage or in the studio. Built with the working engineer in mind, this unit handles serious channel counts without the bulk or heat generation of larger systems.
I/O & Connectivity
The MSB-32R delivers 32 analogue inputs and 8 analogue line outputs, with an additional 4 pairs of AES outputs for a total of 32 inputs and 16 outputs. Connection to your host console happens via single-cable Cat 5 MADI HD interface, and the system is upgradeable to redundant dual-cable Cat 5 or dual-fiber optical MADI (modules sold separately) for touring situations where backup connectivity means zero downtime.
Power & Signal Integrity
An integral PSU eliminates the need for external power supplies, reducing cable clutter and potential failure points on your pedalboard or rack. The mic input E.I.N. of -125dBu at maximum gain (150Ω source) delivers clean amplification for transparent signal capture, while maximum input level of +24dBu and maximum output level of +22dBu provide ample headroom for dynamic stage signals without distortion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What consoles does the MSB-32R work with?
The MSB-32R integrates with Soundcraft Si Expression, Si Compact, Si Performer, Si Series, and Vi Series consoles via MADI card connectivity.
Can I add redundant backup in case one MADI cable fails?
Yes. The unit ships with single-cable Cat 5 MADI HD, but is upgradeable to dual-cable Cat 5 or dual-fiber optical MADI for mission-critical redundancy (upgrade modules sold separately).
Does the MSB-32R need an external power supply?
No. An integral PSU is built in, eliminating external power cables and reducing potential failure points.
What is the noise floor and headroom of the mic inputs?
Mic input equivalent input noise (E.I.N.) is -125dBu at maximum gain with a 150Ω source. Maximum input level is +24dBu and maximum output level is +22dBu, providing ample headroom for dynamic signals.
How many channels of I/O does this unit provide?
The MSB-32R delivers 32 analogue inputs, 8 analogue line outputs, and 4 pairs of AES outputs, totaling 32 inputs and 16 outputs.
