STAGEBOX DANTE SSL SB32.24

The Dante SSL SB32.24 stagebox is a 5U chassis unit with dual redundant power supplies. The stagebox design includes not only 32 MIC/LINE inputs, but also 16 analog line outputs and 8 digital inputs and outputs on 4 AES3 pairs. The SB32.24 is dedicated to solutions with SSL System T and SSL Live, where reliability and superior sound quality count.

SSL SB32.24

The SSL Stagebox SB32.24 has a pair of redundant RJ45 Dante network connections and also a user-configurable SFP port. The ports can be equipped with RJ45 or optical connectors. These can be used to both expand the network and provide network separation for „Split” Dante signals. Moreover, it is also possible to connect to a second Dante-equipped console or a suitably equipped device on another network. The two independent redundant Dante connections in the SSL stagebox can operate independently at different sample rates: not only 96, but also 48kHz thanks to the SRC function.

STAGEBOX SSL SB16.12 

 

The SSL SB16.12 Dante stagebox is an excellent audio equipment housed in a 3U chassis. It features not only dual redundant power supplies, but also 16 MIC/LINE inputs, 8 analog line outputs and 4 digital inputs and outputs on 2 AES3 pairs. The device is dedicated to solutions SSL System T and SSL Live, where both reliability and superior sound quality are important.

SSL SB16.12

The SSL SB16.12 audio stagebox hardware has a pair of redundant RJ45 Dante network connections and a user-configurable SFP port. The ports can be equipped with RJ45 or optical connectors. What's more, they can be used to expand the network or provide network separation for „Split” Dante signals. Therefore, it will be possible to connect the device to a second Dante-equipped console or a suitably equipped device on another network. The two independent redundant Dante connections in the SSL SB16.12 stagebox can operate independently at different sampling frequencies. These include both 96 and 48 kHz frequencies. This is all thanks to the SRC function.

STAGEBOXES DANTE SSL SB8.8 AND SSL SBI16

SSL SB8.8 and SSL SBi16 series stageboxes deliver the familiar technology SSL SuperAnalogue™ Pre Amp. It gives the highest quality audio with the ability to transmit to IP networks (Dante, AES67).

The Stageboxes are enclosed in a 2RU high rackmount enclosure. They can be operated directly not only from consoles SSL System T, but also SSL Live Or a dedicated PC application.

MAIN FEATURES OF SSL SB8.8 AND SSL SBI16 STAGEBOXES

  • SuperAnalogue™ crystal clear sound
  • Redundant: PSU and Dante Ports (full Broadcast redundancy)
  • GPIO connector

SSL X-Light Bridge.

Solid State Logic X-Light is an interface that gives access to a large number of channels with very low latency, carrying up to 256×256 channels with 24-bit audio processing at up to 96 kHz. In addition to a large number of channels, SSL X-Light gives you the ability to transfer control data between SSL Live consoles and Dante devices over a single cable. Featuring heavy-duty connectors and full redundancy, the X-Light is designed to provide an easy and convenient solution for using multiple Dante devices in a high-speed live installation, while retaining many of the benefits of a scalable and flexible AoIP network.

X-Light Bridge gives a series of consoles SSL Live access to a large number of Dante inputs/outputs for handling stage signals in touring applications at any scale. By using Dante connections via X-Light, SSL consoles do not at the same time give up the ability to use the built-in 32/64 channel Dante card. X-Light cables are used to connect the consoles to the X-Light Bridge unit on stage, from which Dante and control data are passed to the Dante stageboxes via switches.

SSL X-Light Bridge Specification:

  • Low latency interface for high volume DANTE signal transfer for SSL Live consoles
  • 256 x 256 channels at 96Khz and 24-bit sampling.
  • Dedicated connections and cabling.
  • Redundancy.
  • Control data.
  • Compatible with L550, L350, L200 and L100.

SSL Madi Bridge

SSL NETWORK I/O: MADI-BRIDGE, is a device developed for broadcast and studio use. It provides a bridge between the standard MADI format and IP Audio networks using DANTE transmission. The MADI-BRIDGE allows connection to Dante-based IP Audio networks, SSL C100 and C10 broadcast consoles or other standard MADI devices, providing full redundancy. This means that the system's critical components are duplicated to reduce the likelihood of breakdown. By adapting to AVB and AES67 standards, the device is ready for future audio network development. Offering 64 channels per bridge (@ 48kHz) and up to 512 channels per 1GB network link, Dante is fully scalable and capable of routing channel counts from tens to thousands by using standard IT infrastructure.

The power supply, MADI ports and IP ports are designed to ensure uninterrupted operation and audio transmission, even in critical situations. In addition to the built-in clock redundancy options on the Dante controller, the MADI-Bridge also has a pair of additional inputs for internal synchronization. SSL MADI-BRIDGE can work with any Dante-based controller and device, is inter-operational and caters to broadcasters by fully understanding their critical needs.

The SSL MADI-Bridge features a level-adjustable (rotary) headphone jack on the front panel and built-in headphone monitor routing, replacing the traditional patch bay. A simple control panel makes it easy to route mono or stereo paths from MADI In, Out MADI, Dante Dante In, or directly to headphones. The LCD screen provides signal measurement and shows four points in the signal chain : MADI In, MADI Out, Dante In, Dante Out. GPIO connections provide information transfer and switching function across the network with Audio.

Madi-Dante bridge - main features:

  • MADI -DANTE interface for IP audio networks
  • PSU, MADI ports, Dante, Sync In - full redundancy for broadcast
  • GPIO connectivity for the entire network
  • Redundant network extension ports - Local IO on a bridge without a switch
  • Word Clock Out - MADI device clock to Dante network.
  • Virtual Headphone Patch Bay - 4 locations
  • Signal monitoring and measurement
  • Lock mode - protection against accidental changes of settings on the front panel
