The Yamaha SB168-ES is a rugged 3U digital stagebox that brings 16 recallable mic/line inputs and 8 balanced XLR outputs to your EtherSound network. Seamless integration with compatible Yamaha digital consoles enables full remote head‑amp control for gain, phantom power and pad from front of house, ensuring fast setup, consistent show files and reliable repeatability. Clear front‑panel indicators show network, link and clock status at a glance, while word clock I/O simplifies stable system synchronisation in complex rigs. Multiple units can be daisy‑chained to expand channel counts without adding patching complexity.
Replacing heavy analogue multicores with a single network cable, the SB168-ES cuts weight, speeds load‑ins and keeps analogue runs short for cleaner audio and lower noise. Dependable Yamaha preamps and a robust steel chassis deliver the sound quality and durability demanded by touring, theatre, corporate AV, houses of worship and installs. A compact, scalable solution for dependable remote stage I/O wherever fast, low‑latency networked audio is required.
Ideal for live sound, fixed installations and mobile production where reliability and repeatable control are essential.
