A Key Component of the StudioLive Series III Ecosystem
The PreSonus NSB 8.8 is designed as the natural extension of the StudioLive Series III consoles and recorders. In this range, AVB is not just a "bonus": it is the backbone that allows system expansion as needed by adding inputs and outputs exactly where they are most useful, close to the musicians and the stage. The NSB 8.8 integrates seamlessly into an existing AVB network to evolve a live setup, a fixed installation, or a hybrid rehearsal, recording, and concert configuration.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The NSB 8.8 targets sound engineers, stage technicians, touring bands, venues, and service providers who want to reduce analog cable lengths, speed up stage changes, and ensure reliable connections. On stage, it centralizes microphone and line connections, then sends audio to the console via a single network cable.
It is also suitable for installations (clubs, churches, multipurpose rooms, schools) whenever a clean connection point on the floor or stage edge is desired while keeping the console in the control room. Finally, for scalable configurations, its integrated 2-port AVB switch facilitates daisy-chaining multiple units to increase I/O capacity without complicating cabling.
