THE SLAVE
Every 40-channel S-4000 system has one and only one SLAVE device.
The Cat5e cable for the SLAVE device comes directly from the MASTER unit or from a gigabit
switch connected to the MASTER unit.
The outputs of this device come from the MASTER unit.
The inputs to this device are sent back to the MASTER unit and only to the MASTER unit.
Typically the SLAVE unit is an S-4000H positioned at the main console or
Front of House mixing position.
The outputs of this S-4000H come from the sources connected to the inputs of the S-4000S on
stage and are connected to the inputs of the FOH console.
The inputs of the SLAVE unit come from the console's bus outputs and are sent back to the
MASTER unit on stage to be output to monitors and/or the main speakers for the event.
THE SPLITS
An S-4000 system can have an almost unlimited number of SPLITS.
The Cat5e cable for the SPLIT devices comes from a gigabit switch connected to the
MASTER unit.
The outputs of this device come from the MASTER unit.
The inputs to this device are not used by the S-4000 system.
Typically the SPLIT unit is an S-4000H positioned at the monitor mixing location, recording
location or broadcast truck.
The outputs of this S-4000H come from the sources connected to the inputs of the S-4000S on
stage and are connected to the inputs of the console or recording system.
