Chapter 1: Introduction
The S1616A is the culmination of twenty-three years of ELAN experience in the design and
perfection of multi-source/multi-zone controllers and amplifiers. Incorporating the features and
reliability that has made ELAN a firmly established manufacturer of multi-room A/V products, the
S1616A is ELAN’s most powerful and flexible multi-source/multi-zone controller to date. The
S1616A is an integrated controller and amplifier whose inputs and outputs may be flexibly
configured in either stereo or mono. Used in Single Chassis configuration the S1616A allows for 8
stereo inputs or 16 mono inputs or for combinations of stereo/mono as the project requires.
Alternatively, the S1616A may be used in Dual Chassis configuration that provides sixteen stereo
inputs and sixteen stereo outputs per Dual Chassis pair. In Single Chassis mode up to sixteen
S1616A units can be linked for a total of 128 stereo outputs or 256 mono outputs. In Dual Chassis
mode eight pairs of S1616A units can be linked together providing 128 stereo outputs. The S1616A
is a dedicated g! system device and requires an HC series controller for configuration and
operation.
This unit has been designed with ultimate flexibility in mind. Allowing operation from all g!
interfaces, including iPad and iPhone, and being ultimately expandable the S1616A is the perfect
solution for mid to large audio and control systems. Multiple control methods combine with
expandability to offer the perfect solution for larger audio/video and automation control systems.
