Light, Affordable, and Versatile Digital Snake System

Let's start with the part about the cabling itself. If you've heard of digital snakes before, then you know there are a lot of reasons to love them... usually about 100-200 lbs. worth! That's because each channel in an analog snake requires two leads, a ground, and some shielding. It adds up fast. By comparison, a the Behringer S16 digital snake system transmits 16 channels of audio over standard Cat 5e Ethernet cable, supporting runs over 300'. Compared to a16-channel analog snake running just 50', a 300' Ethernet cable weighs practically nothing.

Now onto the even better part. One of the things that sets the Behringer S16 apart from other digital snake systems is its bank of 16 remote-controllable Midas microphone preamplifiers. That means no more running up to the stage to tweak the levels on the stage box! What's more, these are the are same amazing preamps that have made the X32 digital console such a hit. In fact, Behringer originally intended the S16 as a proprietary digital snake for the X32, but once they realized how cool it was, they decided to open it up to all digital consoles that support Klark Teknik SuperMac technology audio networking.

And it gets even better. While Behringer was at at, they also loaded the S16 with Ultranet connectivity. That means you can hook up your Powerplay P16 personal monitoring system right up to your stage box - perfect for running in-ears. There are also a pair of ADAT optical outputs, which lets you instantly split your signal cleanly for front of house and a monitor mix. Talk about a ton of bank for your buck!
