Once the devices are connected over OBAM, the SoundStructure devices will behave as one large audio
device, in other words, all the inputs from all the SoundStructure devices are available on all the devices.
Any combination of SoundStructure C16, C12, C8, and SR12 devices may be linked together up to a total
of eight devices.
When the SoundStructure devices are connected over the OBAM Link, the OBAM Input Status LED
illuminates when there is a valid connection between the OBAM IN port on this device and an OBAM OUT
port on a second SoundStructure device. This LED will not illuminate unless there is a valid connection
between the two devices. The OBAM Output Status LED illuminates when there is a valid connection
between the OBAM OUT port on this device and an OBAM IN port on a different SoundStructure device.
This LED will not illuminate unless there is a valid connection between the two devices.
A 18-inch OBAM cable (2457-23574-002) is provided with each SoundStructure device. For longer
distances, we recommend our 40 ft (12 m) cable (2200-34229-002). See the section
details. An OBAM link cable may be tested by inserting the same cable into the OBAM IN and OBAM OUT
ports. If the OBAM input and output status LEDs illuminate, the OBAM cable is fully functional.
Device IDs
When multiple devices are connected via the OBAM interface, internal SoundStructure device IDs are
assigned automatically based on the OBAM connections. The device that has no OBAM IN connection will
be device 1. The device connected to that unit will be device 2, and so on until the last device - the device
with no OBAM OUT connection. The device ID is important for ensuring that the devices are sequenced
properly so that the hardware matches the configuration that will be uploaded to the system.
