SS 16.2 Installation and Operation Manual
DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 16x2, sixteen input, dual output stereo switcher/router passively switches or
routes any one of 16 stereo inputs to either or both stereo outputs or vise-versa
through gold contact relays. The passive nature of the switching allows for any
input level and impedance to be used. Inputs may be balanced or unbalanced, while
output levels, impedance, distortion, noise and balancing will match that of the
selected input. In addition to their normal use with audio signals, the 16x2 can also
be used to switch digital signals and telephone lines. Control is via front panel
switches, contact closures, open collector status and/or multi-drop RS-232 port.
Removable screw terminals are provided for all audio connections.
The 16 x 2 has several unique features. The Power-Up feature allows the user to
select which of any source is active at power up, including the last source selected.
Audio mute allows the user to turn off either or both audio outputs when activated.
The Enable switch provides a safety lock to the front panel source selection switch-
es. Dual Audio Activity Monitor LED’s with remote status monitor the output audio
from either or both outputs. A Serial Port allows communication and operation from
a host computer’s serial port. 16 “PIP” TTL/CMOS compatible inputs and open col-
lector GPI ports allows the serial port monitoring of contact closures from satellite
receivers; tone decoders; etc; while the open collectors provide a means of control-
ling devices with commands from a host computer’s serial port. Source number one
is configured by default to route audio to both outputs in the case of loss of power
to the unit. Non-selected sources are terminated with 100K Ω, load resistors.
APPLICATIONS
Some of the applications of the 16 x 2 include: Studio selection and routing; Audio
processing selection; Exciter input selection; Remote broadcast input selection; STL
source selection; Automation source selection; EAS audio switching; ISDN or
Phone hybrid feed selection; IFB selection; Satellite audio channel switching and
console monitor inputs and outputs selection.
