3.
Audio output number 8. This drives a two channel amplifier with outputs 8A and 8B. It also accepts two
return signals (Vmon for A and B) to monitor the amplifier output. Use a standard DE-‐15 to DE-‐15 cable to
connect this to an amplifier. Refer to Appendix A for the connector pin out.
4.
12VDC input to drive the analog bypass circuit. Completely independent circuitry passes an analog signal
(item 10, below) to selected outputs through a passive crossover on loss of digital audio.
5.
Items 5 through 9 are additional outputs to drive amplifiers (the same as item 3).
10. Item 10 is a balanced analog input for bypass audio. This audio is fed to selected outputs through a
passive crossover if the digital input is not present.

Output Assignments
The DAX-‐16 can route any input to any output. Or, more correctly, any output can be driven by any input
(so more than one output may get audio from a single input). However, thought needs to be given as to
how the system will behave when the DAX-‐16 is in bypass (loss of digital input). The DAX-‐16 bypass
circuitry contains a passive crossover that supports full-‐range, biamp, and triamp operation. The system
is intended to drive the left and right speakers when in bypass. The front panel silk screen, rear panel
silk screen, and the table below show suggested output configurations that take advantage of the
bypass capability.

The outputs are fully configurable as to which digital input each is driven by. Use of the above
assignments ensures that bypass audio drives the left and right speakers. In many installations,
especially those with more than one DAX-‐16, the bypass audio capability will not be used. The digital to
analog routing is fully configurable the analog bypass is not.
