Flexible Press Audio Distribution for Rental & Live Event Companies

How the AudioPressBox APB-1.32 CB simplifies media audio distribution at any event

Every live event production company knows the challenge. The mixing console is located at FOH, while journalists, broadcasters and camera crews are spread across the venue. Running dozens of long audio lines to a single press box is time-consuming, expensive and often impractical.

The AudioPressBox APB-1.32 CB was designed specifically to solve this problem. It is a modular press box and audio distribution system that gives rental companies and live event professionals the flexibility to build exactly the setup each event requires—without unnecessary complexity.

Built for the way rental companies work

Unlike traditional press boxes with all outputs located in one place, the APB-1.32 CB separates the system into a Drive Unit and multiple portable Expanders.

The complete bundle includes:

1× APB-D100 Drive Unit
4× APB-008 SB-EX Expanders
Heavy-duty NANUK® protective transport case

Everything is packed and ready to travel as one professional bundle, making transport, storage and deployment fast and simple for rental inventories.

Audio where the media actually are

At every press conference or live event, media positions are different.

Some broadcasters work near the stage, others from camera platforms, interpreter booths or dedicated media areas. Bringing every journalist to one press box location isn’t always possible.

With the APB-1.32 CB, the APB-D100 Drive Unit stays next to the mixing console, while portable APB-008 SB-EX Expanders can be positioned anywhere throughout the venue.

Simply connect the Drive Unit to the console, then distribute the expanders wherever audio outputs are needed.

Instead of bringing journalists to the audio, you bring the audio to the journalists.

One system. Up to 48 outputs

The supplied bundle already provides 32 transformer-isolated Mic/Line outputs using four expanders.

Need more outputs for larger events?

No problem.

The APB-D100 Drive Unit features two buffered expander outputs capable of powering up to six APB-008 SB-EX expanders, giving a total capacity of 48 balanced Mic/Line outputs from a single source.

This makes the system ideal for:

International press conferences
Government events
Sports venues
Corporate presentations
Product launches
Concert press areas
Broadcast compounds
Large media centres

Broadcast-quality audio for every journalist

Each APB-008 SB-EX provides 8 individually transformer-isolated outputs with switchable Mic or Line level.

This ensures:

clean audio distribution
excellent isolation
protection against ground loops
reliable feeds for broadcasters and recording devices

Combined with the Drive Unit’s built-in High-Pass Filter, Compressor and Limiter, the system delivers consistent broadcast-quality audio regardless of the event size.

Modular by design

Every rental inventory needs equipment that adapts to different jobs.

The APB-1.32 CB grows with your event requirements.

Start with the supplied four expanders for 32 outputs.

Need additional media positions?

Simply add more compatible AudioPressBox expanders without replacing the existing system. The same APB-D100 Drive Unit can support multiple configurations depending on the production.
