DA216S Front Panel

MASTER LEVELS:
These screwdriver adjustable controls set the level of each Input to be routed to bus A, B, or A+B.
The Overload (OL) LEDs illuminate whenever either Input section (both pre-gain and post-gain) approach clipping.
Each MASTER LEVEL may be adjusted from
off
to +10 dB gain.
2
OUTPUT LEVEL controls:
Each Output channel has an independent LEVEL control.
Each Output may be adjusted from
off
to +6 dB gain.
3
Output Assign switches:
Each switch has three positions, which assign the Output to the A-Input, the B-Input, or A+B (sum).
This powerful feature allows the DA216S distribution amplifier to be set up as 1 Input to 16 Outputs.
Or 1 stereo Input pair to 8 stereo Output pairs. Or 1 Input to 3 Outputs, with the other Input to 13 Outputs. And so on.
For those of you that like impressive numbers, that amounts to 43,046,721 possible combinations (3
16
)! Go ahead – count
them. By the way, for those that really like this stuff, if we allow turning the gain all the way down on any Output as part of the
combination, the number jumps to 4,294,967,295 (4
16
). Fortunately, most users will only be concerned with one or two of these
possibilities.
