Description
The DiGiCo Little Blue Box allows a single D-Rack to be shared between multiple compatible DiGiCo digital mixing consoles. This compact interface reduces the need for additional stage racks while simplifying complex system configurations. It enables engineers to maximize existing equipment and improve workflow during live productions. The flexible design makes it suitable for touring, broadcast, and fixed installations.
BNC to Cat5e Signal Conversion
The Little Blue Box converts BNC MADI and Cat5e connections, allowing SD9 and SD11 consoles to communicate seamlessly with D-Racks and other SD Series consoles. It maintains reliable digital audio transmission while simplifying system integration. The converter is ideal for expanding existing DiGiCo networks without additional complexity. Its compact design fits easily into portable and installed systems.
Selectable Console Control
An integrated MADI switch allows users to choose which connected console controls the D-Rack's analog gain settings. SD9 mode gives gain control to an SD9 or SD11 console, while MADI mode assigns control to another connected SD Series console. This flexibility is valuable when multiple engineers or consoles share the same stage rack.
Additional Signal Distribution
The Little Blue Box includes a secondary BNC MADI output for distributing D-Rack signals to a third console or multitrack recorder. This eliminates the need for additional splitters while maintaining reliable signal quality. It is ideal for broadcast recording, virtual soundcheck, and backup console applications. The additional output expands routing possibilities without increasing system complexity.
Simple USB-Powered Design
Powered entirely through USB, the Little Blue Box eliminates the need for an external power supply. A second USB port provides pass-through functionality, preserving an available USB connection for other devices. This simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter in equipment racks. The compact enclosure allows quick deployment in touring and permanent installations.
Reliable DiGiCo Integration
Designed specifically for DiGiCo systems, the Little Blue Box integrates seamlessly with SD9, SD11, SD8, SD7, D-Series consoles, and compatible D-Racks. Its rugged construction and straightforward connectivity make it ideal for live sound, broadcast, theater, and installation environments. The unit enhances system flexibility while maintaining reliable performance. It provides an efficient solution for sharing stage racks across multiple consoles.
