  • Page 3: Important Remark

    IMPORTANT REMARK The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

    5.3. Local audio input connections HUB1616 has 8 local audio inputs on its rear panel, HUB1408 has 6 local inputs, with the following types of connections available: Figure 1: HUB1616 local inputs Figure 2: HUB1408 local inputs • HUB1616: INPUT1 to INPUT4; HUB1408: INPUT1 and INPUT2: unbalanced stereo line signals with double connector format (RCA and Euroblock).
  • Page 10 Note: If your sound source is stereo, and you want to connect it to one of the local inputs IN5 to IN8 of the HUB1616 unit (local inputs IN3 to IN6 in HUB1408), mono and balanced, you can do it by means of the following stereo to mono conversion, only using a pair of external resistors: Figure 3: stereo to mono conversion On the rear panel of the unit there is a PHANTOM ON/OFF switch, which provides...
  • Page 11: Remote Audio Input Connections

    5.4. Remote Audio Input Connections The HUB1616 / HUB1408 has 8 control ports (REMOTE INPUTS) with RJ45 connector, for the connection of eMCONTROL1 type remote control panels. Each of these ports, besides providing DC power and establishing the digital communication bus with the remote panels, has a mono audio input, balanced and with line level, considered a remote input of the HUB unit.

Connections PAGER A, PAGER B and priority PAGER / DUCKER modules In the local input section of the rear panel there are 2 connection ports called PAGER A and PAGER B, whose audio inputs correspond internally to the INPUT 7 and INPUT 8 inputs (respectively) on the HUB1616, INPUT5 and INPUT6 on the HUB1408.
  • Page 13: Remote Inputs 1 To 8 Connections

    The maximum number of stations allowed is 2: one connected to the PAGER A port and/or the other to the PAGER B port, each using a PAGER priority module in the HUB unit. Note: The following connections cannot be made simultaneously, as they are exclusive: •...

    This physical connection provides DC power to the remote panel from the HUB unit and establishes the digital communication bus between the two units. It also implements balanced mono audio reception from a potential remote sound source (connected on the side of the control panel) in the HUB unit.

    5.8. Output Audio Connections HUB1616 has 16 audio output channels (zone outputs), 8 in HUB1408, with line level, balanced and independently configurable as: • mono outputs (1 channel per output) • stereo outputs (2 channels per output, natural pairs 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc.) Figure 8: HUB1616 zone outputs Figure 9: HUB1408 zone outputs Each output has a 3-pin Euroblock connector, with the following layout:...

  • Page 17: Mute Port

    The parameters required for a correct serial connection are as follows: • Baud rate: 115200 (fixed, no auto negotiation) • Data bits: 8 • Parity: None • Stop bits: 1 • Flow control: None 5.10. MUTE port The HUB1616 / HUB1408 has on its rear panel a control input, or MUTE port (Normally Open = MUTE OFF / Closed = MUTE ON), which allows the activation / deactivation of the mute of audio outputs (zones) of the unit by means of a push button, relay or external potential free contact closure.

    CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL 6.1. Configuration via embedded web application Once the physical connections have been made, the HUB unit must be configured using the integrated web application: HANGAR. It has to be configured from a computer, Tablet or similar where a standard web browser is running, pointing to the unit's IP address, which can be modified.
