Frequently Asked Questions
No, the NSB 32.16 is specifically designed for Presonus StudioLive AVB consoles and rack mixers; it won't function with other brands.
You should be able to achieve runs of up to 30-40 meters with standard CAT6 cable, but testing is always recommended for optimal performance.
Unfortunately, the preamps are intrinsically tied to the AVB protocol and cannot be used in isolation; it’s a system-level component.
