DIGITAL SNAKE S16 User Manual 1. Introduction The S16 Digital Snake is a 16-in, 8-out stagebox that features AES50 networking with KLARK TEKNIK SuperMac technology. Designed with multiple scenarios in mind, the S16 works equally well as a stand-alone pair for use with analog mixing consoles, or as part of the trio of BEHRINGER’s digital mixing solution along with the X32 digital mixer and P16 personal monitoring system.

The second S16’s outputs must be set to Out +8 on the unit itself.
DIGITAL SNAKE S16 User Manual 4. Configuring the S16 By using the CONFIG button and SELECT/ADJUST knob, the S16 can be configured to suit many different applications. The STATUS LEDs indicate the current settings. By holding the CONFIG knob while turning the SELECT/ADJUST knob, you can scroll through all 10 configuration options. See the Operation Mode Chart for the routing details of each configuration setting.
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.
DIGITAL SNAKE S16 User Manual Signals sent from the X32 to the stage are seen the same on all S16 units in the chain. AES50 channels 1-8 will appear on the XLR OUTPUTS of each unit. To achieve maximum output to the stage, the 2nd and 3rd units in the chain must have their physical OUTPUTS set to OUT +8 and OUT +16 respectively. The following chart details the signal flow to and from the stage when using 3 S16 units.
DIGITAL SNAKE S16 User Manual 5. Standalone Operation The S16 does not necessarily need to be used in conjunction with the X32 console. 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).
