Stagebox 20ch Stage Plot Icon

Stagebox 20ch sits in the Stageboxes section, 4 icons that describe how sound gets on and off the stage. This one fixes the point every input cable on stage has to reach.

Add it, label it, and save the plot. The next time this band books, the layout is already done.

Using the Stagebox 20ch icon on a stage plot

Where it goes on stage

Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. Boxes sit upstage left or upstage right against the wall, out of the walking route and close to the heaviest cluster of inputs. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.

What the crew needs to know

The detail that saves a phone call. Give the channel count of the box. Stageplot Pro expands a snake icon into its own numbered channel rows on the input list.

On the input list

Stagebox 20ch is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it fixes the point every input cable on stage has to reach, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.

Console exports

The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
