The Mini Stagebox 32i from Soundcraft offers multiple channels of remote controlled I/O for Si Series products—including the Si Impact mixing console—and is well suited for live sound engineers, houses of worship, bands, clubs, and corporate events. The Mini Stagebox requires only 3 RU of rack space, yet provides 32 recallable, high-quality, Studer-designed microphone preamp inputs, and 12 balanced line outputs, all remotely controlled from the console.

The Mini Stagebox 32i comes fitted with dual MADI over RJ45 connectors, eliminating the need for expensive and heavy analog cable snakes for the stage to the front-of-house mixing position. The second MADI connector can work as a redundant connection, or as an auxiliary, which splits the signals for use with a monitor console, recording, or broadcast setup. The RJ45/Cat5 connector allows for cable runs up to 328' (100m) between the stage and front-of-house.
