S-2416
24 inputs and 16 outputs in a 4U rack size
The chassis houses 24 analog inputs and 16 analog
outputs in an EIA rack-mount size of 4U. All input sections
are equipped with discrete mic preamps that have been
freshly designed to be transparent with uncolored sound.
What's more, each XLR jack features three-colored light s
th at clearly communi cate the status of phantom power,
clipping, and signal presence. The use of Neut rik connectors
assures ruggedness for demanding environments.

AES/EBU ports provide a digital input/output
environment
The rea r panel provides AES /EBU connectivity (25-pin D-sub
type) for 8 channels of input and output, enabling connection
to speaker processors, amps, and other devices capable of
AES / EBU input and/or out p ut . Input via AES is assigned to
channels 25 through 32 and output is selectable by a mode
switch. When combined with analog input and output, the
S-2416 can achieve up to 32 inputs and 24 outputs.
When using AES/EBU input /output, exter nal sync ing to a master clock is required.

Use third-party AES/EBU breakout cabl es to make connect ions.

Two REAC connectors, enabling support for
redundant transmission
With two REAC connectors – a main and a backup – a
redundant REAC network is possi ble. If a problem occurs
with the main line, operation instantly switches to the
backup with no break up or click /pop in sound. What's
more, use of Neutrik Ethercon
connectors assures both a reliability
and ruggedness for any type of
environmen t .
Easily expand I/O with a cascade connection
The S - 2416 is the f i r st Digi tal Snake capable of a cascade
connection. Switching the device to Cascade mode and
connecting another Digi tal Snake makes it possible to expand
inputs and outputs up to 40x 40 channels. Any of four patterns
can be selected for the number of channels output to the
additional Digi tal Snake with a cascade connection : 40 (1 - 40
ch), 32 (9 -

40 ch), 24 (17 - 40 ch), and 16 (25 - 40 ch).

High sampling rate of 96 kHz and word-clock
input/output
The S-2416 supports a high bit rate of 24 bits and a h igh
sampli ng rate of 96 kHz. A mode switch enables selection
of 96 kHz, 48 kHz, or 44.1 kHz, when the S-2416 is switched
to Clock master mode. The unit is
also equipped with word-clock input
and output connectors (BNC) for
supplying a master clock signal when
using t he AES /EBU connec t ion.

MUTE ALL OUTPUTS button for silencing all output
The S-2416 is equipped with a MUTE ALL
OUTPUTS button to temporarily silence all
outputs - a handy feature when changing cable
connections.
Mode control via REAC, USB, or RS-232C
Mic preamps can be cont rolled using
any V-Mixer, R-1000, an S-4000R unit
connected by RS-232C, or by using the
S-4000 RCS remote-control software
on a computer
(
Mac or Windows
)
connected via USB.

Front/back adjustable rack mounting for greater
freedom in installat ion
Rack-mount angl e bracke ts can be
attached not only at the front panel,
but also at the rear. This makes it
possible to mount the S-2416 with
ei ther fr ont o r rear or ientat ion
as needed.
