Digital Audio Inputs
The AD-1616 digital audio inputs support either a S/PDIF optical (TOSLINK) or coaxial connector.
Additionally, digital audio inputs 9 and 10 feature audio outputs that mirror the input source signals for
use with additional downstream matrix or other external equipment.
1. Connect the male connector from one end of an optical or coaxial digital audio cable to one of the
optical or coaxial digital audio input ports (9-16) on the matrix.
2. Connect the male connectors on the opposite end of the optical or coaxial digital audio cable to an
appropriate digital line-level audio source.
3. Optionally, connect the male connector from one end of an optical or coaxial digital audio cable to
one of the optical or coaxial digital audio output ports (9-10) on the matrix to the digital audio inputs
on a downstream AD-1616 matrix using steps 1 and 2 above.
Zone Pre-Out Outputs
The AD-1616 matrix is designed for use with an external amplier. The outputs are presented as RCA
style connectors and feature variable gain/volume control.
Stereo Mode
The AD-1616 features 16 stereo pairs of analog audio outputs. By default, each matrix is set to stereo
operation mode whereby channels are separated into left and right designations.
1. Connect either one (mono) or both (stereo) RCA male connectors from one end of an RCA mono/
stereo cable to the RCA output connectors (1-16) on the matrix.
2. Connect the audio connectors (e.g. RCA, stereo mini-jack, etc.) on the opposite end of the RCA cable to
an amplier, e.g. RTI CP-16i.
