  • 8 Midas-designed preamps deliver pristine audio capture

  • Integrated ULTRANET hub connects personal monitoring systems
  • Rugged portable format suits live sound and installations

Compact Digital Stage Box

The Behringer SD8 is a compact digital stage box built to expand system inputs and outputs with eight Midas-designed, fully programmable mic preamps. It targets live sound engineers, installers, and touring professionals who need high-quality remote preamp control and low-latency audio distribution over standard CAT5e cabling.

Installation and Common Issues

The unit integrates via dual AES50 ports using Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology for straightforward connection to compatible digital mixers. An integrated ULTRANET hub allows direct linking to personal monitoring systems without extra hardware. The main limitation is the requirement for an AES50-equipped mixer; systems lacking this interface cannot use the stage box.

Decisive Specification

The decisive factor is the eight Midas-designed mic preamps with remote control capability, which determines whether the SD8 matches your channel count and preamp quality needs. Buyers requiring more than eight preamp channels or a different networking protocol should consider alternative solutions.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SD8 is operating correctly after connecting it to my AES50 mixer?

The SD8's 8 Midas-designed preamps become remotely controllable from the mixer, and the dual AES50 ports show active link status when receiving low-latency audio over CAT5e cables.

What comes with the Behringer SD8 and what must I purchase separately?

The unit includes the digital stage box with 8 Midas preamps and dual AES50 ports; CAT5e cables for networking and a compatible AES50-equipped mixer are required separately.

Which version of the SD8 should I choose for a 50-channel system?

The SD8 provides 8 channels per unit, so multiple units can be cascaded via the dual AES50 ports to reach the channel count needed for your 50-channel application.
