A-16 Audio Input Module
Only one A-16 Audio Input Module is used per Suite 16 System.
Audio Inputs
The A-16 features 16 stereo RCA jacks which are the sixteen audio inputs to the system.
Input Level Trim Control
By and large most audio source components put out audio signal levels that are close to each
other. However, some sources run significantly louder while other sources are significantly
softer. This becomes an issue as you change inputs in a room, as volume levels can vary
between selected components, even though the room’s volume control has not been altered.
To compensate for varying output levels between source components, the Suite 16 System
permits a different input level for each of the sixteen audio inputs. This feature is set in
software.
Input Tracking Low Voltage Triggers
The A-16 also features two 9-pin “D” style connectors (non-RS-
232). The top connector includes a common ground pin and
then eight other pins corresponding to inputs 1-8. The bottom
connector also features a common ground pin and eight con-
nectors which correspond with inputs 9-16. When an input is
selected, its corresponding pin produces a 12VDC output. This
trigger can be used to activate a source component function.
When using ADA’s ACC-48 Source Compo-
nent AC Switcher, these two connectors can
be attached to up to two ACC-48s each. This
will provide AC component switching (based
on activity) for as many as sixteen source
components. As with most every ADA Sys-
tem, Suite 16 permits the AC to be removed
from source components when they are not
being used. This is intended to preserve the
life of the device as even standby-power is
removed when the component is not in use.
This may not be an option for devices with
built-in clocks or devices that require AC at
all times.
Please note, that each switched outlet on the ACC-48 is limited to 2.5 amps.
