RCA Line Inputs

The SF-16B includes 16 RCA audio inputs in 

stereo pairs, and as an alternative, a quick 

connect input using a DB-25 cable. If used with 

a matrix preamp, all inputs correspond to like 

numbered outputs, and 1:1 Input setting should 

be used. If used with a single source or with 

a switch, use Bus Input setting, and connect 

Input A (1 and 2) only.

2. Input from an Audio Authority audio matrix: 

  

For installations where the SF-16B is serving as an 

amplifier for Audio Authority audio matrix preamplifiers 

such as the ADX-0808, ADX-1616 (Figure 4) or the 

HLX with 2278 audio output card (Figure 5).   

 

In these configurations, the SF-16B receives all audio 

content from the ADX or HLX and passes the audio 

through to the corresponding amplified outputs. The 

HLX or ADX provides matrix switching, volume control, 

equalization, tone and balance. 

 

One ADX-1616 supports two SF-16B amplifiers, and 

the HLX platform can be configured to support up to 

twelve SF-16B amps, one for each audio output card.
