Powerful Dante I/O with Full Sonicview Integration

The TASCAM SB-16D is a top-notch Dante Stage Box boasting a formidable 16-in/16-out configuration, extensive integration with TASCAM Sonicview mixers, and powerful Dante functionality to streamline your recording setup. A total of 16 mic/line XLR inputs and outputs can accommodate various stage and studio configurations, with each input sporting +48V phantom power, SIG OL LED indicators, and stunning Class 1 HDIA preamps for maximum fidelity. Moreover, the SB-16D can be fully controlled from your TASCAM Sonicview mixer’s screen and offers remote adjustment via the TASCAM I/O Control app. Finally, the SB-16D features a rugged build with rock-solid etherCON-compatible Dante connectors, expansion 8-in/8-out GPIO terminals, and a flexible design that can be either floor mounted or seamlessly integrated into your rack setup

Top-quality Class 1 HDIA mic preamps

One of the SB-16D’s greatest assets is its implementation of world-renowned TASCAM Class 1 High Definition Instrumentation Architecture Preamps (HDIA). TASCAM tells Sweetwater this design is simply the finest microphone preamp they’ve ever created. Boasting superior EIN, incredible signal-to-noise and distortion ratio, and top-class frequency response, HDIA preamps put the subtlety and power of a prestigious studio mic preamp in your hands.

Enhanced control with Sonicvew mixers

While the SB-16D is a must-have piece of kit for any studio professional serious about their Dante setup, this stage box offers an incredible level of adjustability and control when hooked up to a TASCAM Sonicview mixer. The microphone gain can be fully controlled directly from your Sonicview’s screen, while switching into your Sonicivew’s VIEW mode offers complete access to the SB-16D’s I/O. Plus, the SB-16D’s 8-in/8-out GPIO can be expanded to 16-in/16-out when connected to a Sonicview mixer for effortless parallel control.

TASCAM SB-16D 16-in/16-out Dante Stage Box Features:

  • Versatile 16-in/16-out configuration with redundancy
  • Multiple boxes can be chained simultaneously in a Dante network for extended I/O
  • 16 XLR mic/line inputs and 16XLR line outputs can accommodate a wide variety of studio situations, with stunning Class 1 HDIA mic preamps
  • SIG OL LED signal indicators on both the XLR inputs and outputs to easily monitor your signal
  • World-class 96kHz sampling and 32-bit precision for maximum fidelity
  • Can be either floor installed or integrated into a 3U rack space
  • Extensive integration with TASCAM Sonicview mixers, with full control of parameters directly from the mixer
  • Remote control and offline editing also available by accessing the TASCAM IO control app
  • 8-in/8-out expansion GPIO terminals (can be expanded to 16-in/16-out via a TASCAM Sonicview mixer)
  • Exceptionally stable etherCON connectors to ensure your Dante system runs smoothly
  • Full AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 interoperability, in addition to Dante Domain Manager support

Exactly what you expect it to be

This is a perfect stage box for any Dante network on a budget. Main competition is the Yamaha Tio at this price point, and honestly I would take this over a Tio 99% of the time, even in a Yamaha system. I would give up head amp control in the desk for ease of config with a computer or iPad to set it up.

Head amps are controllable on sonicview (indented system deployment) and via apps on PC, Mac, and iOS. The GPI/O means you can trigger presets if you are trying to use it for a reoccurring config.
