Hardware Connections:
Mains Power Connections
Each stagebox includes redundant PSUs with IEC C14 inlets. Either supply can
individually power the unit. Ideally these should be connected to separate power
circuits to provide redundancy of incoming AC power.
Audio Inputs and Outputs
Electronically balanced mic/line inputs, line outputs, AES/EBU inputs and outputs on latching XLR-3
connectors.
See Appendix B for pinout information.
Dante Connections
The SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 have two sets of redundant network connections. These can be
configured in two different modes:
In the first mode, the A and B networks are linked internally (A+B Network Link LED is on). In this
mode both Network A and Network B are identical and output both the gain-dependant and gain-
compensated audio. Dante devices can subscribe to either one. Either set of network connections (or
both) can be used to connect to the stagebox, allowing Ethernet or fibre connectivity as desired.
In the second mode, the A and B networks are discrete (A+B Network Link LED is off) and isolated
from each other. In this mode Network A transmits uncompensated audio (and receives audio for
the analogue outputs, AES outputs and also control data) and Network B transmits the compensated
audio only. An SRC can be enabled on Network B if required. Further information can be found in the
Gain Compensation and Network B Sample Rate Converter (SRC) sections of this guide.
Configuration of the network link is detailed within the Dante Controller section of this guide.
A pair of LEDs per port provide
network information:
ACT
flashes when there is
network activity
GB/SFP
shows Ethernet/SFP
network status
Network A
ports feature etherCON
ruggedised RJ45 connectors
Network B ports are SFP cages which can be
fitted with either RJ45, single
-mode or multi-
mode LC fibre connectors

Dante Connection Examples
The following examples demonstrate common network configurations and the required setting for
the A+B Network Link, note this is not an exhaustive list. Only two consoles are shown for
simplicity, these examples would also apply for multiple console networks, or networks with
additional I/O devices sending/receiving signals directly to/from the SB 32.24 or SB 16.12.
Typically the master console will have control of the stagebox inputs. Additional consoles or I/O
devices can subscribe to either the uncompensated or gain-compensated splits depending on the
usage requirements and network link configuration. Further information can be found in the Gain
Compensation and Ownership sections of this guide.
Gain-Dependant Source and Gain-Compensated Splits Available to One Console
In this example with a single console, both
the gain-dependant and the gain-
compensated splits are available to the
console. Stagebox outputs are also available
to the console.
Gain-Dependant Source and Gain-Compensated Splits Available to Two Consoles
(No SFPs Fitted - External Switch Connected)
In this example, a FOH and monitor console
are both connected to the stagebox via an
external network switch. Both the gain-
dependant and the gain-compensated splits
are available to both consoles through the
Network A connections, no SFPs are required.
The Network B SFP connections could be used
instead if a direct fibre connection was
preferred.
Input ownership and stagebox outputs are
available to either console.
SRC can be enabled on Network B if required.
Further information can be found in the
Network B Sample Rate Converter (SRC)
section of this guide.

Gain-Dependant Source and Gain-Compensated Splits Available to Two Consoles
(SFPs Fitted)
In this example, FOH and monitor consoles are
both connected to the stagebox directly, using
Network A (etherCON) and Network B (SFP)
connections respectively. Both the gain-
dependant and the gain-compensated splits
are available to both consoles. Input
ownership and stagebox outputs are available
to either console.
SRC can be enabled on Network B if required.
Further information can be found in the
Network B Sample Rate Converter (SRC)
section of this guide.
Gain-Dependant Source Available to Main Console, Gain-Compensated Split Available to
Separate Network
In this example only the gain-dependant split
is available to the FOH console. Only the gain-
compensated split is available to the separate
network (B), here being used for a broadcast
split. Input ownership and stagebox outputs
are only available to the FOH console.
SRC can be enabled on Network B if required.

Network B Sample Rate Converter (SRC)
A Sample Rate Converter (SRC) is available on the Network B Dante ports, allowing the gain
compensated split outputs to run at a different sample rate or in a different clock domain to the
main network.
Example applications are shown below, note this is not an exhaustive list. Both Network A and
Network B can operate at any of the available sample rates (44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz). Sample rate
selection for each device is configured from the Device Config tab within Dante Controller.
Network B SRC is enabled from the device Setup tab within Network I/O Controller.
N.B. If Network B SRC is disabled then both Dante networks (Network A and Network B) must be
running at the same sample rate and synchronised to the same clock source.
Sharing Signals Between Consoles Running at Different Sample Rates
For events where a Front of House console is
operating at 96 kHz and a broadcast is
simultaneously being produced at 48 kHz.
Alternatively for situations where additional
networked consoles cannot operate at 96 kHz.
Network A is set to 96 kHz. The FOH console
subscribes to the main audio channels and
has ownership of the mic preamps.
Network B is set to 48 kHz and Network B
SRC is enabled. The broadcast console
subscribes to the gain compensated split
outputs available from this network.
The Network A+B Link can be enabled or
disabled depending on the network infrastructure. If enabled, both networks will share a common
PTP clock.
Sharing Signals Between Networks in Separate Clock Domains
For situations where two independent
networks require access to the same stagebox
inputs but have separate clock sources, for
example an event with a FOH network and
separate OB truck.
Network A is set to 48 kHz. The FOH console
subscribes to the main audio channels and
has ownership of the mic preamps.
Network B is set to 48 kHz and Network B
SRC is enabled. The OB truck subscribes to
the gain compensated split outputs available
from this network.
The Network A+B Link will be disabled, with
the additional benefit that stagebox control is unreachable from Network B.

SSL Network I/O Controller
Installing Network I/O Controller
When SSL Network I/O is used without an SSL console, configuration and control is achieved using
the SSL Network I/O Controller PC application. This can be downloaded from the SSL website as part
of the Network I/O Stagebox upgrade package or as a standalone installer.
Locate and run the Network I/O Controller installer and follow the on-screen prompts to install the
application.
Application data is stored per Windows user account, allowing each user’s configuration of device
filtering, sorting and application window size to be retained.
Network Configuration - PC
Once Network I/O Controller is installed, connect the Windows PC to the same subnet as the
Network I/O. The SSL Network I/O Controller application uses the network adapters configured in
Dante Controller for communication. Before starting Network I/O Controller first open Dante
Controller and select the network adaptors connected to the Dante network. ‘Use shared Dante
interface’ must be selected to ensure all applications using the Dante network use the correct
adaptors. Subsequent changes to network settings may require Network I/O Controller to be
restarted.
TCP/IP is used to communicate with the unit, so check Windows firewall settings if communications
are not working.
Set the computer to ‘Never Sleep’ to maintain communication.

Devices View
The Devices tab provides management of the I/O devices displayed in the Control View.
Device Filtering allows Network I/O device types to be hidden, both from the Control View and
the Control View Filtering and Sorting section. An example use case may be to hide all
compensated devices so that the Control View only shows the gain tracked signals, not the
compensated split feeds.
Control View Filtering and Sorting provides control of the order in which devices are displayed in
the Network View of the Control View, in addition to individual device filtering.
Individual devices
can be
Hidden from
the
Control View.
SHOW ALL clears the currently selected device
filters.
HIDE OFFLINE
ensures only currently connected
devices are displayed, irrespective of device type.
Device Filtering is provided for all Network I/O device types available in Network
I/O Controller. These device types can be pre hidden, so they are not visible from
this instance of the software when they are discovered. Device filtering hides the
selected device types from the
Control View and the below Control View
Filtering and Sorting table.
Column headings can be selected to affect the Sort Order of this table and importantly the order in which
devices are displayed in the
Network View of the Control tab.
Selecting the heading fo
r a column will set it as the ordering field and toggle between ascending or
descending. Sorting can be alpha
-numeric by Name or Device Type, or numerically by IP address or Index
(discovered order).
