At the Heart of the StudioLive Series III Ecosystem
Designed to integrate seamlessly into the PreSonus environment, the NSB 16.8 relies on AVB to transport audio and control over a single network cable. From your StudioLive Series III console, you adjust gain, phantom power, and muting while keeping talent close to inputs to reduce analog cable length and unwanted noise.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for concert venues, mobile performances, houses of worship, and fixed installations, this stage box centralizes inputs on stage and outputs to monitors. It suits both engineers looking to streamline cabling and providers who demand quick setup, reliable remote control, and simplified maintenance.

Good gear but expensive.
It's never easy to make sound on a network. You have to burn wood before everything works normally.Automatically translated

Unfortunately from the start we had a serious problem with the 16:8 NDB. The cables get stuck and we can't manage to remove them. Woodbrass had changed the box. Had the news it had the same problem. Disappointed
