The Yamaha SB168-ES is a rugged 3U digital stagebox delivering 16 recallable mic/line inputs and 8 balanced XLR outputs via EtherSound. Designed for seamless integration with compatible Yamaha digital consoles, it enables full remote head‑amp control from front of house, including gain, 48 V phantom power and pad, helping preserve show file consistency and speed up changeovers. Clear front‑panel indicators show network, link and clock status for swift troubleshooting, while word clock I/O ensures reliable system synchronisation in complex rigs.
By replacing bulky analogue multicores with a single network cable, the SB168-ES streamlines load‑ins, reduces weight and keeps analogue runs short for cleaner, lower‑noise audio. Trusted Yamaha microphone preamps deliver transparent, musical sound, and the robust steel chassis is built for touring and fixed installation alike. Multiple units can be daisy‑chained for straightforward channel expansion without messy patching or workflow compromises.
Ideal for live sound, theatres, houses of worship and mobile production, the SB168-ES is a dependable, scalable stage I/O solution when reliability, speed and repeatability are essential.
