In the Line of Reference Digital Stage Solutions
Designed from the start to integrate with the X32 series, the S16 transmits audio and remote control on stage via AES50. It advantageously replaces heavy multicore cables, reduces the risk of "buzz" between front of house and stage, and relies on the shared MIDAS/KLARK TEKNIK heritage in preamplification and reliable network transport.
For Which Stages and Users?
The S16 is suitable for live providers, concert halls, theaters, houses of worship, and schools seeking quick setup, simplified cabling, and instant gain recall. Its daisy-chain topology allows adding a second S16 without a router, ideal for extending inputs at stage front or backline side.

very good product, be careful because it gets hot (on the first few uses some gain variation problems solved by removing other units on the rack). 16 in and especially 8 out is great, all digital!
