C10 HD - MORSE Stagebox

MORSE Stagebox… Modular I/O, for private or shared use.


Robust build, immaculate sound
While Alpha-Link Live provides standard IO for the C10 HD, MORSE Stageboxes provide further levels of customisation and scalability, giving you exactly the audio connectivity that you need. For multi-studio broadcast facilities MORSE Stageboxes can be combined with the MORSE Router to provide an extremely reliable, cost effective and scalable solution for sharing audio I/O and managing ownership and control data.

Because the MORSE Stagebox connects via MADI over fibre-optics, you can be confident that all audio will reach the console in immaculate condition. Embedding of IO parameter control on the fibre-optic cable removes the need for separate cabling and ensures that the operator need never leave the console.

MORSE Stageboxes offer a modular system that enables selection of exactly the right combination of I/O cards to match your precise audio I/O requirements. Each MORSE Stagebox comes in a 3U chassis, offering 56 channels of IO via 14 card slots, housing a wide range of cards that can be hot-swapped, even while on air.

MORSE Stageboxes provide streamlined SDI Embedder/De-edder functionality to facilitate straightforward system integration.

Cards on offer include;

  • AES3 cards, offering 2 inputs and outputs, with 24 bit sample rate conversion at up to 192kHz
  • Analogue cards, offering either 4 mic/line inputs, 4 line outputs, or 4 inputs and outputs, all with 24 bit conversion at up to 96kHz, with a choice of operating levels
  • SDI Embedder/De-embedder card (HD or SD), offering either 8 channel embedding, 8 channel de-embedding, or 4 channels of each, with high quality 24 bit sample rate conversion, compliant with SMPTE 292

The MORSE stagebox comes with redundant MADI links as standard, and optional PSU redundancy configurable to provide fibre-optic redundancy. Low power consumption, convection cooling and proprietary technology avoid common causes of failure and offer the silent operation that allows studio floor positioning.

  • Fibre-optic MADI guarantee pristine audio
  • Embedded control data simplifies cabling and operation
  • Customised audio card selection
  • Zero-downtime maintenance, provided through hot-swap hardware
