Symetrix 80-0168 xIO Stage 4x4
Product Overview
The Symetrix 80-0168 xIO Stage 4x4 is a rugged 4-input, 4-output Dante stage box that converts 4 balanced analog inputs and 4 balanced analog outputs to and from the Dante network — built for the physical demands of stage and floor deployments in houses of worship, performing arts centers, and live sound environments. Unlike the standard rack-mount xIO 4x4, the xIO Stage 4x4 is housed in a durable stage box chassis with XLR connectors designed for stage floor use and frequent connection cycles.
Product Description
The xIO Stage 4x4 provides the same bidirectional 4x4 Dante I/O functionality as the xIO 4x4 (80-0106) in a form factor built for physical durability at the stage edge. XLR inputs accept microphones and line sources from performers or presenters; XLR outputs deliver Dante-routed audio to monitors, IEM transmitters, or local amplifiers. A single Ethernet cable connects the xIO Stage 4x4 to the Dante network and the Symetrix DSP in the equipment rack. All routing is managed in Symetrix Composer within the site file, eliminating the need for individual analog snake cables between the stage and the equipment room. The xIO Stage 4x4 integrates directly with the EDGE Dante, Radius NX, and Server D100 platforms.
Key Features
- 4 Balanced XLR Inputs — Rugged XLR connectors for microphones and line sources at the stage or floor.
- 4 Balanced XLR Outputs — XLR outputs for monitor amplifiers, IEM transmitters, and local audio devices.
- Rugged Stage Box Chassis — Built for floor and stage deployment with durable construction and secure XLR connections.
