12 SF-16M Matrix Amplier Installation and Operation Guide
The System Trigger input on the SF-16M allows equipment such
as AV receivers or power managment devices to put the SF-16M in
standby when not in use, thereby greatly conserving energy usage.
To enable the System Trigger:
1. Make system trigger connections as illustrated in Figure 13.
2. Power the SF-16M, then apply power to the triggering device.
3. Using the front panel menu (see page 17) or the PC congurator,
enable “System Trigger”
Figure 12
NOTE: In order for Audio Override to function, all settings must be programmed using the PC conguration software,
available for download on the SF-16M product page.
SF-16M CONNECTIONS - System Trigger (5V-24V AC/DC)
SF-16M CONNECTIONS - Audio Override (Contact Closure)
The SF-16M provides two “Audio Override” contact closure inputs, which allow pushbuttons, partition wall contacts, and
other contact sensors to trigger the system. Audio override provides a convenient method of temporarily switching to an
alternate audio input when a sensor is triggered.
A practical example of this feature is a conference hall with movable partition walls (Figure 12). The speakers in the room
normally play background music from a satellite radio receiver. A pushbutton triggers Override 1 which is programmed to
toggle speaker outputs for both rooms between background music and the Microphone 1 input. When the partition closes
to create individual rooms, a partition wall contact closure (Override 2 in the example) triggers the SF-16M to switch the
speakers in Room B to microphone 2. When the partition wall opens, the SF-16M returns to its default audio input.
