FlexPort Audio Input Modules Installation and Operation Guide     3

FlexPort Transmitter Models

FlexPort audio transmitters can be used to provide up to four additional audio inputs (2 channels per FlexPort input) to 

each SF-16M. FlexPort modules connect via Cat 5 cable to the SF-16M and accept a wide variety of pro and consumer 

audio sources. FlexPort modules can be located up to 500 feet from the SF-16M and include mounting points for either 

surface or in-wall mounting in an “open ended” single gang bracket such as Arlington model LV1 or Carlon model 

SC100RR. Remove unused mounting tabs with pliers before installation.
