Behringer SC-U StageConnect USB Audio Interface Bridge

Behringer SC-U is a StageConnect interface bridge designed for integrating StageConnect systems with multi-channel USB audio and Ultranet monitoring networks. It enables bidirectional audio transmission between StageConnect devices, USB-connected computers, and Ultranet systems. This makes it ideal for live sound environments where reliable multi-channel audio routing and system interoperability are required.

The interface performs asynchronous sample rate conversion to allow communication between systems operating with different clock sources and sample rates. Audio data is transmitted over standard XLR cable infrastructure using the StageConnect protocol while maintaining low latency and high dynamic range. USB connectivity allows the interface to function as a multi-channel audio bridge between computers and connected audio systems.

This configuration supports live production, recording integration, and personal monitoring workflows in professional audio environments. Engineers can route multiple audio channels between StageConnect stage networks and computer-based systems. The compact enclosure allows the unit to be deployed easily within stage racks, portable rigs, or production setups.
