NSB 16.8 Networked Stage Box
Overview
Designed to work seamlessly with PreSonus® StudioLive® Series III mixers, the PreSonus NSB 16.8 stage box offers 16 locking combo mic/line inputs with remote-controlled XMAX preamps that include gain compensation for shared input scenarios. You also get 16 direct inputs via AVB. All inputs can be controlled from a StudioLive Series III console and PreSonus Universal Control software. All eight outputs employ locking XLR jacks. A built in 2-port AVB switch lets you daisy-chain multiple units. A rugged steel chassis with sturdy handles and a stage box form factor allow the NSB 16.8 to sit well on the stage and survive the rigors of the road. The unit can be rack mounted with an optional rack-ear kit.

Highlights
Gain compensation on every input.
The NSB 16.8 can provide inputs for any StudioLive Series III digital mixer on an AVB network. NSB-series stage boxes have onboard DSP that provides gain compensation on every input so every mixer on the network can make gain adjustments relative to the level set on the master mixer. In this way, every mixer can adjust the preamp level locally for optimal gain staging.
A complete networked solution.
StudioLive Series III networked products form an ecosystem that is easily expanded and quickly configured. Designed to enhance each other, these products are at the forefront of AVB networking technology. The NSB 16.8 can be used alone or with many other NSB-series stage boxes to add remote audio to one StudioLive Series III digital mixer or multiple mixers on the same network.
