Hookup Diagrams The S16 Digital Snake is a 16-in, 8-out stagebox that features AES50 networking with KLARK TEKNIK SuperMac technology.

See the Operation Mode Chart for the routing details of each configuration setting.
10 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.

A pair of S16 units can be linked to send 16 channels to and from the stage, providing a high-quality digital snake that can work with any analog mixer. In this scenario, a master S16 will be placed at FOH near the main mixing console, and the other on the stage (see ’S16 as standalone snake’ hookup diagram).
