introduction
Thank you for choosing the dbx
©
TR1616 16 channel performance I/O. The TR1616 is a 16 in/16
out analog to BLU link and BLU link to analog audio interface. By providing a modular yet simple
solution, the TR1616 is highly expandable and extremely easy to configure.
With 16 precision dbx mic preamps and combo style input jacks, the TR1616 accepts line level
or mic level signals.
Configurable in 16 channel blocks, the modular design of the TR1616 allows you to create the
digital snake or BLU link network that’s right for you. As your needs change, additional TR1616s
can easily be added to the network, providing expansion of up to 256 channels at 48 kHz (or
128 channels at 96 kHz). And with its plug and play functionality, getting into networked digital
audio no longer requires long hours of training and programming.
Whether you require additional analog inputs or outputs in an existing BLU link compatible BSS
Audio Soundweb London system, a digital snake solution for live sound, or a complete personal
stage monitoring solution using the dbx PMC personal monitor controllers, the TR1616 provides
a professional, cost effective solution for transmitting high resolution audio over CAT5e.
