The Korena take
Put the S16 on stage to gather microphones, instruments, and other sources before sending them into a mixing or recording system. It provides 16 programmable Midas-designed XLR mic preamps with individually switchable 48V phantom power, alongside eight XLR outputs. Two ADAT outputs, AES50 connections, and an Ultranet connector support digital signal transfer, while the onboard mono phones output gives performers a place to check signals at the stage box. Its listed networked I/O latency is 1.1 ms.
