SAN FRANCISCO–Wireworks has introduced a stage box that lets DB25 analog and digital connectors play nice with XLR connectors. Offering true AES/EBU 110Ω rugged jacked cable combined with Neutrik Black/Gold connectors, the versatile MMB8D is available in various gender combinations with either analog or digital wired DB25 connectors mounted on the rear, or with a 4ft. tail for in-rack direct connection. The MMB8D cabling system includes the unique MMB8D MiniStageBox and MMLD8D MiniLineBox, DB25 Trunks and the convenient MMBR Rack Adaptor for the MMB8D and MMLB8D boxes. Additionally, Wireworks offers a complete line of companion DB25 assemblies to facilitate installation. The MMB8D MiniStageBox's all steel chassis is only 1RU high x 9.5" wide (1/2 rack width) and 3" deep. The small package allows the widest variety of uses. With the included baseplate, the MMB8D can function as a tiny stagebox or be wall mounted. Without the baseplate, the MMB8D can be hung or hidden away. Two MMB8D boxes can be mounted side-by-side in the MMBR Rack adaptor in only 1RU.
The MMLD8D MiniLineBox and the MMB8D MiniStageBox are similar in size and functionality. Yet, the MMLD8D MiniLineBox differs due to its ability to connect directly to an individual's equipment, without an additional DB25/DB25 interconnecting cable. The MMLD8D MiniLineBox's DB25 female connector is terminated into a hardwired 4ft. cable versus being mounted directly on the box as on the MMB8D MiniStageBox.
The DB25 Trunks are available in five lengths: 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25ft. with other lengths to order. The DB25 connectors feature heavy-duty metal bodies with captive thumb screws and gold contacts. Also, utilizing the DB25 Trunks allows the reach of the MMB8D MiniStageBox to be conveniently matched to individual system needs.
The MMBR Rack Adaptor enables any combination of two MMB8D or MMLB8D boxes to be side-by-side rack-mounted in only 1-rack space. The boxes can each be mounted in a flush or recessed position, with either the eight connectors or the DB25 facing forward.
