DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Broadcast Tools® SS 16.4 provides matrix audio switching of 16 stereo inputs
to 4 stereo plus 4 monaural outputs.  Matrix switching allows any or all inputs to be
assigned to any or all outputs.  The SS 16.4 may be controlled via front panel switches,
contact closures, 5-volt TTL/CMOS logic and/or the multi-drop RS-232 or RS-485
serial port.  Installation is simplified with removable screw terminals (Euro).

PRODUCT FEATURES

• True matrix switching, any or all inputs may be assigned to any or all outputs.
• Three switching modes.  Interlock, overlap and mix.
• Logic functions via microprocessor and non-volatile memory.
• Internal audio activity/silence sensors monitor all four-output channels.  Each is

equipped with front panel “ACT” LED indicators; adjustable alarm delay and
restore duration.  Sensitivity is factory set at -34db. 

• Front panel input selection switches are provided for each input channel with

separate output indicator LED’s.
