It is recommended that within the PA/GA cabinet the connecting
cables do not exceed 25 meters in length, regardless of the system
configuration.
4.5 Input connections
The Sonix Io unit has several inputs that can be
configured to be volt-free or driven. Each input is
independent and can be configured as required. See
section 5 and SAS manual for more details on available
configuration options.
4.5.1 Volt-free or 5-12V driven
To select between Volt-free and Driven input
configurations requires a change of jumper links
on the PCB. This change is defined on each input
independently.
