Physical Audio Channels

Analogue inputs:

• 16 balanced microphone/line inputs

Analogue outputs:

• 16 balanced line outputs

All physical audio connections use individual three-pin XLR connectors, making the SB-16D suitable for direct stage, studio and installation wiring without separate breakout cables.

Dante Network Capacity

At 48 kHz:

• Up to 64 Dante network channels

At 96 kHz:

• Up to 32 Dante network channels

The 64- or 32-channel specification refers to the Dante network-routing capacity. The SB-16D itself provides 16 physical analogue inputs and 16 physical analogue outputs.
