The SD16 is a seriously useful tool for bands and sound engineers needing more stage inputs than their console offers. It’s a great way to expand your I/O without a massive investment, and the Klark Teknik integration is a big bonus. Perfect for smaller to mid-sized venues where you need flexible routing and monitor control.

Frequently Asked Questions
AES50 is generally more forgiving for longer cable runs using standard CAT-5e, while MADI is more demanding but offers higher channel counts.
While it will likely function as a basic stage box, you'll lose access to the Klark Teknik DSP features and may have limited integration with some non-compatible consoles.
You can reliably run up to 100m (approximately 330 feet) with good quality CAT-5e cable, but signal degradation can occur beyond that – test thoroughly.
