The Yamaha SB168-ES is a rugged 3U digital stagebox providing 16 recallable mic/line inputs and 8 balanced XLR outputs over EtherSound for fast, low‑latency remote I/O. Designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible Yamaha digital consoles, it offers full remote head‑amp control for gain, phantom power and pad from front of house, ensuring consistent, repeatable results show after show. Clear front‑panel indicators cover network, link and clock status, and word clock I/O supports stable system synchronisation in complex rigs. Multiple units can be daisy‑chained to expand channel counts without complicating your patch.
Built for touring and installations, the SB168-ES replaces heavy analogue multicores with a single network cable, reducing weight, setup time and potential noise pickup while keeping analogue runs short for cleaner audio. Dependable Yamaha preamps and a robust steel chassis deliver the sound quality and reliability demanded by theatres, live venues, corporate AV, houses of worship and rental fleets.
A neat, scalable solution wherever dependable remote stage I/O is required—ideal for live sound, installed systems and mobile production.
