Introduction

Overview

SB 32.24 is a 5U, 40-input and 24-output Dante stagebox featuring 32 SuperAnalogue™ mic/line

inputs, 4 AES/EBU inputs, 16 analogue line outputs and 4 AES/EBU outputs. All analogue and AES

audio connectors are XLR-3 type.

SB 32.24 can be controlled remotely from SSL Live and System T consoles as well as from SSL’s

Network I/O Controller app for PC.

SB 32.24 is suitable for all high-quality AoIP applications of any scale. Redundant power, redundant

ruggedized etherCON Dante connection plus two user-specifiable SFP ports which provide network

extension or support a second independent Dante network complete the professional hardware

requirement.

KeyFeatures:

●Interface between studio/stage/recording-area and IP audio networks using Dante

●SSL SuperAnalogueTM Studio Grade preamps

●Gain-compensated Dante Split available on the same or on a separate (B) network

●Device and parameter ownership assignment to avoid control conflicts

●Redundant PSUs and Dante ports

●Redundant network extension ports

●Clear front panel indication – signal present, phantom power, channel attention on analogue

inputs

●Front facing XLR connections

●Network B SFP ports can be configured with RJ45 or optical LC connectors

MainsPowerConnections

Each Stagebox includes redundant PSUs with IEC connectors; either supply can individually power

the unit. Ideally these should be connected to separate power circuits to provide redundancy of

incoming AC power.

●PSU LEDs are informational and are green in normal operation.

●A flashing red PSU LED indicates the failure of PSU 1

●A static red PSU LED indicates a failure of PSU 2

ChannelLEDs

●Analogue signal LEDs (SIG) are green above -42 dBFS and red at -0.1 dBFS (clipping).

●48V / ATT indicates Phantom Power and/or Attention depending on red, green, or flashing

combinations as follows:

●Red – phantom power on

●Green flashing – channel Attention active

●Green & red flashing – phantom power on &

channel Attention active

Note: The three holes above each of the XLR sockets are part of the unit’s ventilation. Do

not block (e.g. with tape!)

HardwareConnections:

DANTEConnections

SB 32.24 has two redundant sets of network connections. The Network A ports feature etherCON

ruggedised RJ45 connectors, and the Network B ports are SFP cages, which can be fitted with either

RJ45, Single-mode or Multi-mode LC fibre connectors.

The SB 32.24 Network connections can be configured in two different modes:

In the first mode, the A and B networks are linked internally (A+B Network Link LEDs are 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.

In second mode, the A and B networks are discrete (A+B Network Link LEDs are OFF), and

isolated from each other. In this mode Network A transmits uncompensated audio (and receives

audio for the analogue and AES outputs and also control data) and Network B transmits the

compensated audio only. Note that they have to be synchronised to the same clock source.

Status&Reset(DHCP)

A+B Network Link LED indicates unit is configured to connect internal

A and B networks

Off: Networks not linked

Green: Network A and Network B Linked

Dante B SRC LED is reserved for future possibilities!

Reset DHCP independently resets the internal Networks to DHCP

supplied addresses. Insert a small ‘prodder’ into the relevant opening

and press and hold for approx. 3 seconds to reset to DHCP addressing. The LED on the chosen port

will briefly turn red to indicate this has happened.

FactoryReset

If BOTH Reset DHCP buttons are held for 6 seconds, this will trigger a Factory Reset of the

stagebox.
