System Expansion
Adding More I/O
The standard S-4000 System provides 40 channels of audio in a 32x8 configuration. By adding
additional systems, you can easily expand your audio I/O as needed.
Each additional system increases your audio I/O capability, as shown in the following table:
Number of S-4000 Systems Total I/O Capability
1 32x8
2 64x16
3 96x24
4 128x32
Remote Control and Monitoring of Multiple Systems
There are two ways to accomplish remote control and signal level monitoring of multiple systems:
• Multiple S-4000R Units—Connect one or two S-4000R units to each S-4000 System and control
each 32x8 setup independently.
• A personal computer with multiple RS-232C serial ports and the S-4000 RCS—Connect a REMOTE
jack from each S-4000 System to an RS-232C port on the personal computer running the S-4000
RCS. See the previous section for information on the S-4000 RCS.
To identify S-4000S channels, use the included adhesive-backed number label sheets to affix
channel numbers to the S-4000S units’ front panel inputs and outputs.
