Connecting The Audio Inputs
Configuration
The ProAudio1632 features up to 40 independent audio inputs. The ProAudio32, ProAudio3248 and ProAudio3264 all feature up to 80 independent audio inputs. Connect your audio source devices directly to the inputs accordingly

Connecting The Audio Outputs

The ProAudio1632 and ProAudio32 has between 32 and 64 audio output zones, the ProAudio3248 has between 48and 96 output zones, and the ProAudio3264 has between 64 and 128 output zones, depending on your configuration. Connect your audio outputs to the relevant AVR or Audio amplifiers

Connect either the Serial (RS232) or Ethernet connection to your controller. Ethernet Connection (recommended): Connect to the local Ethernet using the ProAudio’s TCP/IP port. Serial Connection: Connect a serial cable between the controller and the ProAudio’s RS232 port

IMPORTANT: If your installation required certain analog input to be converted and routed to digital (coax output), then you will need to mirror the corresponding analog stereo output to do so. Please refer to OVERVIEW – AUDIO ROUTING CAPABILITIES\ section on the user manual for more information.

Connecting The Power

Connect the power using the included IEC cable. The unit will take 15-30 seconds to boot up and get an IP address, if using the Ethernet port.
