Caution: in case audio output from S-4000 system is connected to
external devices
When audio outputs from an S-4000S or an S-4000H are connected to inputs of external devices such as mixing consoles,
please be sure to turn off the phantom power supply from these external devices.
Noise may come out while [MUTE ALL OUTPUTS] is pressed and all outputs are muted if phantom power is supplied
from the external device.
Caution: in case Switching Hub is integrated in the system
The device-to-device transmission latency between REAC devices is approx 375 micro seconds.
If switching hubs are integrated in the system and data is transferred via the switching hubs, approx 200 micro seconds
of latency will be added for each switching hub.

CLIP 5/
SIG 5
When CLIP 5 and SIG 5 are lit, this indicates that there’s a problem with one or more modules installed in an S-4000S set as the Master
REAC device.
When this occurs, CLIP and SIG indicators 9-19 show the status of any installed modules. Use these indicators to determine the location of the problem module(s).
CLIP 9-19 represent A/D modules (SI-AD4, etc.) installed in Slots 1-11.
The S-4000S recognizes an A/D module installed in a particular slot when the following indicators are lit:
SIG 9-19 represent D/A modules (SO-DA4, etc.) installed in Slots 1-11.
The S-4000S recognizes a D/A module installed in a particular slot when the following indicators are lit:
If an A/D or D/A module is installed in one of the slots and the appropriate indicator (CLIP or SIG 9-19) does not light, this
indicates that the S-4000S does not recognize the module. In this case, contact an RSS Authorized Service Center for assistance.
Note: If no module is installed a particular slot location, the CLIP and SIG indicators that represent that slot will not light.
