The ELAN S1616A amplifier/controller –
a new class of mulit-zone, multi-source
capability.
Built upon the foundation of ELAN’s legendary
D16 digital power amplifier, the S1616A offers
unprecedented flexibility and value.
The S1616A is available in two configurations –
Single Chassis and Dual Chassis. In Single Chassis
mode the S1616A supports 8 stereo or 16 mono
inputs, or combinations thereof. Output options for
Single Chassis provide for connection of up to 256
speakers in virtually any configuration. Dual Chassis
configurations support 16 stereo inputs and up to
128 pairs of outputs. Both configurations support
up to 64 unique zones. As a multi-zone/multi-
source amplified controller it has no equal.
The S1616A is your go-to choice for superior music
performance. Rated at 50 watts per channel into 8
ohms and 75 watts per channel into 4 ohms, the
S1616A has the capacity to drive your speakers
to high output levels with clear beautiful sound.
Coupled with a wide variation in input and output
configuration, the S1616A is perfectly suited for
both residential and commercial projects.
The S1616A includes user enhancements to make
operating the music system in any environment a
real joy. In addition to Whole House Music, which
allows the entire system to listen to the same
source, it introduces Zone Grouping and House
Scenes. Zone Grouping allows common areas,
like the master suite or a dining area, to be easily
joined. House Scenes memorize the status and
settings for all zones (at the end users direction)
and allow them to be recalled with the press of a
single button. For the end user, especially one in
a large project, using the S1616A is simple and
convenient.
The S1616A provides an abundance of controls to
tailor the sound perfectly to each zone’s unique
acoustic environment. Bass, treble and loudness are
available per zone. Each output may be configured
as left, right or summed mono. Each output also
features high and low pass filtering, allowing high
performance sub/sat speaker arrangements without
additional electronics.
The S1616A is fully compatible with the ELAN
C2 communications controller allowing house
wide paging and door chime announcement. The
advanced g! programming and operating environ-
ment make the S1616A easy to configure and
easy to use. While other systems require complex
programming, g! requires only minutes.
In Multi-Zone or Amplifier Mode, the S1616A is a
powerful option that provides you with configura-
tion options like no other product. Learn more by
