Appendix B: Firmware Update Procedure

The latest version of firmware is available from our website on the SF-16M product page.  
Learn more: www.audioauthority.com/sonaflex_tips.

1. Copy the latest firmware file onto a USB drive.

2. Insert the drive in the USB port on the rear panel of the SF-16M.

3. Press the menu key and navigate to the firmware update menu item.

4. Follow the prompts and select the firmware file.

5. After a short delay the SF-16M reboots and performs the firmware update.

6. Once the update has finished, the SF-16M reboots and resumes operation with the new firmware version.

Appendix C: Changing the Power Fuse

Before changing the fuse, find and correct 

the excessive impedance load or wiring 

short that caused the fuse failure. 

•  Remove the power cord.
•  Carefully remove the fuse cover using a 

flat blade screwdriver.

•  Inspect both fuses to determine which one 

is blown.

•  Slide out spare fuse compartment as 

shown and remove a spare fuse.

•  Replace the blown fuse with a spare fuse, 

or a fuse of the same value.

•  Orient the fuse cover so that the arrow 

points toward the correct voltage for your 

region as shown to the right.

FlexPort Module “Override” Button

The purpose of the front panel override button is to switch designated SF-16M outputs to a FPM 

input. Learn more:  www.audioauthority.com/sonaflex_tips. A typical example is an audio mixer, 

connected to a FPM-X in a conference room. When the override button is pressed, designated 

outputs switch over to the audio mixer for the duration of the override. When the override button 

is pressed again, all affected outputs will switch back to the input source prior to override. Audio 

override is based on two key settings:  

1. FPM dipswitch settings, previously configured 

above. 

2. SF-16M audio override settings, programmed 

using the SF-16M PC Setup Utility  

(see the online video Override tutorial).

Audio Override with “Mix” Option Enabled

In some cases it may be desired to mix two FPM 

module inputs together upon audio override. An 

example would be a classroom where both a 

microphone and an audio presentation need to 

be heard simultaneously. To acheive this function, 

first daisy chain two FPM modules and wire back 

to the SF-16M. Set one FPM as “Mono 1”, and 

set the other as “Mono 2”. Both FPM’s must have 

the “Mix” dipswitch set to On.
