NSB 8.8 Networked Stage Box

The locking combo jacks are rock solid, no wiggle on my mic cables even after a full weekend of gigs. Being able to tweak the XMAX preamp gain remotely from the console saves me so many trips to the stage.

I run this stage box with the StudioLive III and controlling the XMAX preamp gain right from the mixer saves me a trip to the stage every soundcheck. Eight ins is plenty for our drum kit, and everything stayed clean through a four-hour show.

Setting this up in our rehearsal room cut our cable runs to the mixer down to a single line, which I appreciated more than I expected. The eight locking combo jacks hold XLRs tight so nothing pops loose mid-set. Only gripe is the fan noise is audible in a quiet room.
