The stage box is composed of a very long cable, customizable to the required length, that can be wound onto a spool or left loose, with XLR connections at either end. This enables musicians on stage to plug their cables into the Box, which then connects to the audio mixer via a single cable. This setup helps to prevent a mess of cables leading to the mixer, keeping all the wiring as organized as possible.
In addition to the stage box, it may be necessary to use some D.I. Boxes in these scenarios to eliminate background noise and interference, ensuring that the signal reaches the mixer at appropriate levels. For more information, please visit the section where the D.I. Box is featured.
When performing in a studio or a small club, you often find yourself playing with your own audio system, using the same cable and instrument configurations typically found in your rehearsal space. Sometimes, if you're lucky, the venue itself will be equipped with a stage complete with an audio service and a mixer console for audio and lights. In these instances, and in larger situations, when the distance between the instruments and the audio mixer increases, there's a need for some additional equipment to facilitate wiring and connections: one of these is a stage box.
