Behringer SC16-I StageConnect Interface 16-In

The Behringer SC16-I StageConnect Interface is a professional 16-channel analogue input interface designed to simplify audio connectivity for live sound, studio recording and professional audio installations. Featuring 16 balanced XLR-combo inputs, eight premium TRIAD microphone preamps and integrated StageConnect technology, the SC16-I provides a convenient solution for connecting multiple microphones, instruments and line-level sources to compatible digital mixing systems using a single cable.

Channels 1–8 feature high-performance TRIAD microphone preamps with individually switchable 48V phantom power, delivering clean, detailed audio with excellent noise rejection and stable performance across a wide range of source impedances. Channels 9–16 provide eight additional line-level inputs supporting XLR and TRS connections, making it easy to accommodate a variety of audio equipment. With precise 0.5 dB analogue gain adjustments, engineers can achieve accurate input-level settings for consistent sound quality.

Designed for seamless integration with StageConnect-compatible equipment, the SC16-I allows remote preamp control directly from compatible mixing consoles or through its USB desktop control panel. Integrated Ultranet connectivity supports personal monitoring systems and compatible equipment from Behringer, Midas, Klark Teknik and Turbosound. MIDI commands can also be transmitted through the StageConnect infrastructure, allowing audio and control data to share the same cable connection.

Housed in a durable 19-inch, 1U rack-mountable metal chassis, the Behringer SC16-I is an ideal analogue input expansion solution for professional audio engineers, musicians and live production environments requiring reliable multi-channel connectivity and simplified stage cabling.
