INSTALLATION
01 - Connecting The Audio Inputs

04 - Connecting The Power

WIRING DIAGRAM

The ProAudio16 and ProAudio8 feature up to 48 independent audio inputs and 24 independent audio inputs, respectively. Connect your audio source devices directly to the inputs accordingly.
02 - Connecting The Audio Outputs

Connect the power using the included IEC cable. The unit will take 15-30 seconds to boot up and get an IP address, if using the Ethernet port.
05 - Link To Third-Party Control System

The ProAudio16 can have between 16 to 32 audio output zones, and the ProAudio8 can have between 8 and 16 zones, depending on your configuration settings. Connect your audio outputs to the relevant AVR or Audio amplifiers.
IMPORTANT: If your installation required certain analog input to be converted and routed to digital (coax output), then you will need to mirror the corresponding analog stereo output to do so. Please refer to OVERVIEW - AUDIO ROUTING CAPABILITIES section on the user manual for more information.
