Frequently asked questions
Can I use both products together?
Yes. The MSB-32R expands I/O for a Soundcraft console via MADI, while the CPS800 provides dedicated power to that same console. They serve complementary functions in a touring or fixed rig.
Which product is better for live touring?
The MSB-32R adds stage I/O distribution and the CPS800 adds power redundancy. Both are touring-rated; choose MSB-32R if you need more inputs/outputs, or CPS800 if your existing console power setup needs backup or stabilization.
Does the MSB-32R include a power supply?
Yes, the MSB-32R has an integral PSU built in. The CPS800 is a separate, external linear supply designed exclusively for Soundcraft mixing consoles and is not part of the MSB-32R.
What's the mic input quality on the MSB-32R?
The MSB-32R delivers an E.I.N. of -125dBu at maximum gain with a 150Ω source, maximum input of +24dBu, and maximum output of +22dBu—professional-grade headroom for dynamic stage signals.
