Audio input — SMX 84/88/1616 A (analog)
Number/signal type ........................   8 or 16 stereo, balanced/unbalanced
Connectors ....................................   (8 or 16) 3.5 mm captive screw connector, 5 pole
Impedance .....................................   >10k ohms unbalanced/balanced, DC coupled
Nominal level .................................   0 dBu (0.775 Vrms)
Maximum level ...............................   +19.5 dBu, (balanced or unbalanced) at 1% THD+N
Input gain adjustment ....................   –18 dB to +24 dB, adjustable per input; default = 0 dB
NOTE:  0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms, 0 dBV = 1 Vrms, 0 dBV ≈ 2 dBu
Audio output— SMX 84/88/1616 A (analog)
Number/signal type ........................   4, 8, or 16 stereo, balanced/unbalanced
Connectors ....................................   (8 or 16) 3.5 mm captive screw connector, 5 pole
Impedance .....................................   50 ohms unbalanced, 100 ohms balanced
Gain error ......................................   ±0.1 dB channel to channel
Maximum level (Hi-Z) ......................   >+21 dBu, balanced or unbalanced at 0.1% THD+N
Maximum level (600 ohm) ..............   >+15 dBm, balanced or unbalanced at 0.1% THD+N
Volume control range .....................   -76 dB to 0 dB (volume numbers 0 through 64) in a 35 dB increment from step 0 
to step 1, then in 1 dB increments from steps 1 to 64; default = 64 (0 dB)
NOTE:  Attenuation = volume number minus 64. The default is 0 dB = volume number 64.
