About Stage Box Multicore Cables
A stage box cable, often called a multicore stage box or simply a multicore, bundles multiple channels of individually shielded microphone cable into a single run. Microphones and DI boxes plug into the numbered XLR inputs on the stage box, and the fan end connects to your mixing desk at front of house or side of stage. Return channels carry the mixed signal back to the stage for foldback monitors and main speakers.
SWAMP stage boxes run from a compact 8 channel 6m unit for small stages up to a 36 send, 8 return channel 50m reel-mounted multicore for large venues. Each channel features a foil and spiral wrapped copper shield to reject interference, with Yongsheng XLR connectors on both the stage box and fan ends. Recording studios also use them for tidy wall or ceiling runs between the live room and control room. Looking for a fan-to-fan loom instead? See our snake cables, browse the full audio multicore cables range, or pick up spare XLR microphone cables for the stage end.
Stage Box FAQs
What is a stage box?
A stage box is a rugged box with numbered XLR inputs that sits on stage, connected to a long multicore cable. It lets you run many microphone and instrument signals to the mixing desk through one tidy cable instead of a tangle of individual leads.
How many channels do I need in a stage box?
Count every microphone and DI box you plan to plug in, then allow spare channels for growth. Return channels matter too, as they carry the mix back to stage for foldback monitors. SWAMP stage boxes range from 8 channels up to 36 sends with 8 returns.
What is the difference between an analogue and a digital stage box?
An analogue stage box carries each channel on its own copper core and works with any mixing desk, with no configuration needed. A digital stage box converts signals to a network protocol such as Dante and requires a compatible digital mixer. SWAMP's stage box range is analogue.
