Audio Input Transmitters For Use with SonaFlex™ Matrix Amplifiers Installation and Operation Guide Introduction FlexPort™ Audio Input Transmitters serve as remote input modules for SonaFlex™ SF-16M Matrix Amplifiers. FlexPort transmitters are available in several different styles, including balanced line/mic, XLR, digital SPDIF and analog RCA audio signals. Audio signals are transmitted to an SF-16M via Cat 5e/6/7 cable up to 500 feet and made available to specified amplified outputs, and can be shared with up to three additional SF-16M amplifiers. Each transmitter has a convenient override button. • • • • Four compatible FlexPort audio transmitters: Stereo RCA, Digital Audio, XLR / TRS, and Balanced Audio (see page 3) Up to four FlexPort transmitters may be used with one SF-16M (See page 4) Convenient Override switch provides a simple user interface at the transmitter location Provides compatability for a mixture of consumer and pro audio sources such as computers, MP3 players, CD and DVD players, audio streaming devices, performance microphones or paging microphones, and audio mixers • Differential balanced line technology eliminates interference, enabling FlexPort transmitters to be located up to 500 feet away from the SF-16M without signal degradation • Simple connection via one Cat 5/6/7 cable; daisy chain two FlexPort transmitters on each SF-16M input Double the FlexPort Inputs Normally, one stereo FlexPort transmitter is connected to each of the two SF-16M FlexPort inputs; however, if mono signals are used, two FlexPort transmitters may be daisy-chained on each of the FlexPort bus inputs, doubling the number of possible FlexPort transmitters in one system. There are several ways to configure daisy chained modules. See page 4. About the SonaFlex SF-16M The SonaFlex SF-16M is a unique blend of multi-channel amplification, flexible input options, audio matrix switching, signal processing and open control capability. Designed and assembled in the U.S. with sound and video integrators in mind, the SF-16M offers a new approach to commercial and residential distributed audio applications - one multi-purpose matrix amplifier that can be used in a variety of installations.

Read this manual to understand FlexPort functions and behavior. 2.Plan your SF-16M system layout and use the PC utility to assign override behavior, and override priority. 3.Install the SF-16M system, including Cat 5e/6/7 wiring for FlexPort transmitters. 4.Assign FlexPort mono/stereo channels, set other dipswitches as needed. 5.Connect Cat 5 bus to FlexPort transmitters, and connect audio sources. 6.Set SF-16M volume levels (adjust gain if necessary). 7.Cycle power on FlexPort transmitters after any change of settings. NOTE: If the SF-16M will not be used to control volume, set all SF-16M outputs to -0dB (full volume) and adjust volume in preamplifier. 2 FlexPort Audio Input Modules Installation and Operation Guide 7/29/11 A Release 11/15/11 B DRA Remove IR DAF BALANCED AUDIO INPUT FlexPort Transmitter Models + FlexPort audio transmitters can be used to provide up to four additional audio inputs (2 channels per FlexPort input) to each SF-16M. FlexPort modules connect via Cat 5 cable to the SF-16M and accept a wide variety of pro and consumer GND audio sources. All FlexPort modules can be located up to 500 feet from the SF-16M and include mounting points OVRfor either surface or in-wall mounting in an “open ended” single gang bracket such as Arlington model LV1 or Carlon model SC100RR. Remove unused mounting tabs with pliers before installation. MODEL FPM-B 1.

Each FlexPort override button sends a discrete override command to the SF-16M that can be programmed to connect the associated override channel to any output(s). FlexPort Bus 1 Ch FlexPort Bus 2 Ch When used in stereo mode, the Left channel override command connects both left and right to the assigned output(s).

Override button does not function Make sure Termination is on. For daisy chain, turn off Termination for the transmitter farthest from the SF-16M. Override must be set up using the PC utility; designate input, output, and priority. No mic power For microphones that accept phantom power, turn PWR Phant. ON. Only one channel plays from stereo source Check the CH. ASSIGN switch. If using daisy chain configuration with stereo sources, use a stereo to mono adapter to hear both channels in mono.
