Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for Dante systems that need 16 microphone/line inputs and 16 line outputs in one unit, the SB-16D can live at floor level or in a rack. Its XLR I/O, per-input phantom power, and signal/overload indication make source connection and level checks straightforward. When a system needs more channels, multiple units can operate together on the network. Redundant Dante streams and provision for a redundant DC supply support installations where system resilience matters.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Adding 16 XLR inputs and 16 XLR outputs to a larger Dante network.
  • Using a floor box on stage or rack-mounted I/O in recording, broadcast, or commercial installations.
  • Building a multi-unit Dante system when one stage box does not provide enough I/O.
