For the past 30 years, Behringer’s high-quality and high-value studio and live sound reinforcement solutions have revolutionized and re-set expectations in the digital age. Breakthrough contributions like Behringer’s bestselling X-series mixers are designed to meet the demands of the most discerning professionals while being confidently reliable and realistically affordable enough for the casual and up-and-coming musician's budget.
The SD8 I/O stage box is the ideal solution for seamless integration with Behringer’s popular X-series mixing systems. It allows onstage talent to connect directly to the front-of-house mixer with ease. Like the larger SD16 and the premium S32, the 8-channel SD8 enables you to route all stage-side audio inputs and outputs using a lightweight and cost-effective Cat 5e cable--say goodbye to outdated, bulky analog snake systems and start saving valuable time and money today.
The SD8’s versatile design starts with 8 remote-controllable Midas-designed mic preamps and 8 servo-balanced XLR outputs, which deliver audiophile sound quality to your live presentations. The lightweight road-rugged all-steel enclosure sets up quickly and easily, and the rubber corner protectors help ensure worry-free placement anywhere on stage. Conveniently removable rack ears come in handy for semi-permanent and mobile applications. Klark Teknik's SuperMAC dual AES50 network ports allow daisy-chaining additional stage boxes for more inputs and outputs. Also included is a dual “Ultranet” port for direct connection to Behringer’s P16-M personal monitors and select Turbo sound speakers.
The great-sounding, affordable, and versatile SD8 can efficiently be utilized for remote I/O with the front-of-house console, monitors, mobile broadcast consoles, and other compatible digital destinations. For additional versatility, there are even two programmable High-Z inputs for “no D.I.” connectivity with guitars and a USB port for software updates.
- 8 Midas-designed, fully programmable mic preamps and 8 analog, servo-balanced XLR outputs
- Optional +48 V phantom power
- AES50 network ports featuring Klark Teknik SuperMAC networking capability
- Remote operation via shielded CAT5e cable up to 330 ft / 100 m length
- Dual ULTRANET distribution hub for powered connection of 2 Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers
- Digital audio and control connectivity for Tubosound speaker systems
- Ultra-compact and roadworthy, all-steel chassis w/protection bumpers
- Rack ears for installed and mobile applications are included
- USB connector for system updates via PC

MIDAS - The Legend in Sound Quality
Ever since its formation in the 1970s, MIDAS has had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations world-wide, legendary MIDAS consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became industry standards.
MIDAS has earned their impeccable reputation due to their no-compromise approach for audio and build quality and in particular for their Award-winning Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as the industry’s best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the XL8 and PRO Series of Live Mixing Systems continue this great heritage of Award-winning audio quality.
Behringer is proud to incorporate MIDAS designed mic preamps for the ultimate in high-quality audio reproduction in both live and studio environments.
Remotely Controllable Preamps Make Setup a Breeze
The SD8 Stage Box is a studio/live sound engineer’s dream come true. Setup is extremely easy, with virtually all parameter control taking place at the console – including the award-winning MIDAS-designed mic preamps, +48 V phantom power, destination routing, etc. Just put the SD8 where you want it, run a few Cat 5e, mic and instrument cables – and head for the console. The SD8 makes setting the stage up virtually foolproof!
8 Servo-Balanced XLR Outputs
The SD8 features 8 XLR balanced outputs, allowing you to connect to your amp racks, active loudspeakers and monitors. Thanks to its reference-class Cirrus Logic* 24-bit converters, SD8’s digital operation eliminates even the slightest possibility of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and crosstalk. You get ultra-pristine audio performance, no matter the application – something unheard of in this class!
KLARK TEKNIK AES50
KLARK TEKNIK SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) technology gives the SD8 its high-capacity, ultra-low latency digital interconnectivity, as well as superbly simple deployment and ease of use. KLARK TEKNIK engineers worked hand-in-hand with BEHRINGER to ensure the SD8 meets, or exceeds, the requirements of live entertainers and their professional audio engineers. Some of the outstanding features are:
- 48 bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5e cable (48 kHz)
- 24 bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5e cable (96 kHz)
- Single cable duplex interconnection for audio and sample clocks
- Ethernet physical layer audio data transmission
- High channel count and ultra-low deterministic latency
- Accurate phase-aligned clock distribution.
- Comprehensive error detection and management
- Provision for redundant networking
- Minimal configuration – total ease of deployment and use
- Ethernet TCP/IP protocol-compatible auxiliary data channel
- Royalty-free implementations available as Xilinx FPGA cores
- OEM modules available from developer partners
ULTRANET – Seamless Integration
The world-renowned engineers at KLARK TEKNIK, MIDAS, TURBOSOUND and BEHRINGER have all come together to create something truly innovative that will change your live and studio workflow forever – welcome to ULTRANET. This revolutionary technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single Cat 5e cable between compatible digital devices – including mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers and personal monitoring systems. Advantages realized through ULTRANET digital networking, versus traditional analog methods, include: all audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is eliminated, and ease of use translates directly into a significant amount of time saved during show setup or installation. And the SD8’s onboard ULTRANET distribution hub supplies phantom power over CAT5 directly to your P16-M Personal Monitoring Mixers, eliminating the need for external power adapters. ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled ease of deployment, performance and control for BEHRINGER P16 Personal Monitoring Systems and Turbosound iQ Speaker Series.
Extreme Value
As you can see, the SD8 is an extremely versatile 8 x 8 digital stage box solution with remote-controllable MIDAS-designed mic preamps, KLARK TEKNIK’s AES50 connectivity and a wealth of other professional-grade features – all at a price anyone can afford! Built tough enough to withstand the rigors of the road, the SD8 connects to FOH with a single, inexpensive Cat 5e cable. Now you can have the missing link between the stage and FOH at a fraction of the cost of competing systems – and Behringer backs it with a comprehensive warranty program.
