The Mini stage-box offering 16 balanced mic inputs with high-end preamps, 16 balanced outputs and 8 general purpose I/Os, outputs are available on 8 Xlr connectors, the other 8 on a sub-d connector. The device is fully ethersound (es, es100 and esgiga) compatible and can be easily integrated into an existing network. Mic preamps are automatically recognised by eclipse, all parameters (gain, 48v) are thus directly controllable through the usual knobs and switches of the eclipse.
