Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sixteen combo mic/line channels and eight balanced line outputs put the NSB 16.8 at the center of an AVB-connected PreSonus rig. Keep its 1U networking chassis with the FOH or monitor rack while the removable analog sections handle nearby stage connections. Four units can link from a single interface port without an external switch, expanding the system to 64 inputs and 32 outputs. Input phantom power, pad, polarity, and bus routing are available from UC Surface after connection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live rigs placing microphone and line connections onstage while maintaining a chassis at FOH or the monitor rack.
- Recording setups routing microphone, line, and outboard signals through AVB-connected PreSonus hardware.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without a compatible PreSonus interface for AVB connection, automatic configuration, and UC Surface control.
