A Compact Module at the Heart of the AES50 Ecosystem
Designed for live performances, the SD8 natively integrates with the X32 control surface via the AES50 network using Klark Teknik's SuperMAC technology. It replaces heavy analog multicore cables and reduces ground loop issues causing "buzz" between stage and FOH, while providing a quick and clean setup.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for contractors, concert halls, tours, and multipurpose venues, the SD8 brings essential I/O closer to the musicians. Its 8/8 configuration is perfect for small to medium stages, drum kits, instrument lines, or modular extensions of an already equipped stage. Remote gain control from the console optimizes scene recalls and speeds up soundchecks.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Behringer Digital Snake SD8 compatible with an X32 console?
Connection to an X32 control surface is natively done via the AES50 network using SuperMAC technology. Two AES50 ports also allow daisy-chaining to other SD8 units.
How many inputs and outputs does the SD8 offer?
The 8/8 configuration provides the inputs and outputs required for small and medium-sized stages.
Can a guitar be plugged directly into the stage box?
Two Hi-Z inputs accept guitars and basses directly, without any additional DI. The 8 MIDAS preamps are fully programmable. Gain is remotely controlled from the console to facilitate scene recalls and mixing.
What length of AES50 cable can be used with the SD8?
A CAT5e connection can reach up to 100 m in operation. This connection replaces analog multicore cables between the stage and the FOH.
Does the SD8 work with a P16-M personal monitoring system?
The two ULTRANET connectors and the built-in hub allow linking a pair of P16-M units from the stage. The 2U rack format facilitates integration into fixed or mobile setups.
