StageConnect-to-ADAT Conversion for Modern Stage Rigs

The Behringer SC-ADAT is a dedicated bridge that translates a StageConnect bus into ADAT/TOSLINK optical I/O, opening the door between Behringer's StageConnect ecosystem and the vast installed base of ADAT-equipped hardware. Two optical inputs and two optical outputs carry 16×16 channels of 48 kHz / 24-bit digital audio, moving a full stage's worth of signal over fibre in a single compact box. The SC-ADAT is the right choice for engineers and integrators who need to connect multitrack recorders, high-end preamps, and outboard racks to a StageConnect system without replacing existing gear.

Optical Isolation and StageConnect Backbone in One Box

Because the ADAT side uses TOSLINK fibre-optic links, the connection inherently provides galvanic isolation between devices and naturally prevents ground-loop hum — a real benefit in venues with mixed power systems. On the bus side, the unit carries StageConnect's 32-channel bidirectional audio with sub-millisecond latency at 44.1/48 kHz and 24 bits, distributed over XLR for shorter runs or DMX cable for maximum range.

Connectivity — StageConnect and ADAT in One Unit

Connectivity defines what this bridge can actually do. The unit accepts a StageConnect input and Toslink optical signals, and exposes both XLR Female and XLR Male connectors on the StageConnect side.

• Inputs: StageConnect, Toslink — bus feed plus two optical streams at once
• Connector Type A: Toslink — standard ADAT optical interface
• Connector Type B: XLR Female, XLR Male — XLR for short runs, DMX for longer distances

Signal Capacity — 32 Channels Across the Bridge

Channel count and sample format determine how much audio the bridge can move. The unit is rated as a 32-channel expansion device, with the ADAT side delivering 16 inputs and 16 outputs at 48 kHz / 24-bit.

• Number of Channels: 32 — full bidirectional count across the StageConnect bus
• ADAT I/O: 16 inputs / 16 outputs at 48 kHz, 24-bit — two optical ports each direction
• StageConnect Latency: sub-millisecond at 44.1/48 kHz, 24-bit — live-friendly timing

Build and Installation — Compact Aluminium Chassis

Physical design matters for fixed installs and touring rigs alike. The slim aluminium-extrusion enclosure is roughly the size of a DI box, and a mounting bracket is included so the unit can be bolted down out of the way.

• Material: Aluminium — rigid extrusion that dissipates heat and shrugs off road wear
• Rackmountable: No — designed as a compact surface-mount unit
• Package Content: Mounting Bracket — included hardware for permanent installation
