10 DIGITAL SNAKE S16 User Manual
4.1 Standard Operation
The S16 is in Standard (default) mode when all the conguration STATUS LEDs
on the front display are o. This is useful for using the unit as a digital snake
along with the X32 console to conveniently transfer 16 channels from the
stage to FOH, andsend40 total channels back to the stage. The sends to the
stage are arranged as AES50 channels 1-8 which appear on the 8 analog XLR
OUTPUTS, AES50 channels17-24 and 25-32 which appear on the ADAT OUTPUTS,
andAES50channels 33-48 appearing at the P16 OUTPUT. The specic routing
ofthe AES50 channels can be congured on the X32.
4.2 Cascaded Operation
To make use of the S16’s full potential, up to 3 units can be cascaded to allow
48channels of bidirectional audio. Any AES50 signals cascaded from one S16’s
port A to another S16’s port B are automatically shifted up 16 channels,
allowingthe last S16 in the chain to transmit all audio channels to and from the
stage via its AES50-A port. The X32 Routing home page allows selection of the
incoming AES50 signals that can be connected to the channel processing.
Therouting of the audio sent from console to stage box can be adjusted on the
X32 Routing AES50 pages, respectively.
