DIGITAL SNAKE S16 User Manual

4.1 Standard Operation

The S16 is in Standard (default) mode when all the configuration STATUS LEDs
on the front display are off. This is useful for using the unit as a digital snake
along with the X32 console to conveniently transfer 16 channels from the
stage to FOH, and send 40 total channels back to the stage. The sends to the
stage are arranged as AES50 channels 1-8 which appear on the 8 analog XLR
OUTPUTS, AES50 channels 17-24 and 25-32 which appear on the ADAT OUTPUTS,
and AES50 channels 33-48 appearing at the P16 OUTPUT. The specific routing
of the AES50 channels can be configured on the X32.

4.2 Cascaded Operation

To make use of the S16's full potential, up to 3 units can be cascaded to allow
48 channels of bidirectional audio. Any AES50 signals cascaded from one S16's
port A to another S16's port B are automatically shifted up 16 channels,
allowing the last S16 in the chain to transmit all audio channels to and from the
stage via its AES50-A port. The X32 Routing home page allows selection of the
incoming AES50 signals that can be connected to the channel processing.
The routing of the audio sent from console to stage box can be adjusted on the
X32 Routing AES50 pages, respectively.
