General

The Motu Stage-B16 is a high-grade, attractive yet robust analogue rack mixer that will please even the most demanding studio engineers with its versatile functionality. It features studio-grade audio effects, as well as Wi-Fi and AVB network options. In essence, the Stage-B16 offers you three high-quality products in one: a stage box with 16 inputs, a rack mount mixer with DSP that gives you wireless control over 48 inputs and 12 buses, and an audio interface that's compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems.

Stage-B16: analogue studio quality

The Motu Stage-B16 sets the standard when it comes to analogue audio performance in box format. It boasts eight XLR outputs with a dynamic range of 123 dB - an impressive feat you'd normally have to spend a lot more money for. Capable of a performance up to 192 kHz, the Stage-B16 has what it takes to satisfy even the most critical users. Its 16 microphone inputs are equipped with high-grade preamplifiers that cause virtually no distortion and boast a dynamic range of 117 dB. Furthermore, each channel offers 63dB preamp gain, individual 48V phantom power and a -20dB pad.

A versatile and flexible piece of technology

Have you always dreamed of using a large-scale live mixing console? If so, you'll love the Motu Stage-B16! With a little help from software that's run by a web application and controlled by the hardware itself, it's possible to operate your setup from a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone. That means you can control the Stage-B16 from any location, using your favourite browser, as long as it's connected to your LAN via a wired network or Wi-Fi. Whichever browser you prefer, as long as you're connected to the network, you can work with Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS or Android.
