CONFIGURATION
Basic configuration of the SF-16M can be achieved using the front panel controls. It is possible to configure all settings on
the SF-16M via telnet/serial commands with a program such as hyperterminal on your PC (page 18).
The recommended method to perform advanced setup tasks is to use the SF-16M PC configuration software,
available for download on the SF-16M product page at audioauthority.com. In addition to being more efficient, project
files can be saved to your PC for backup and future modification. Detailed instructions for SF-16M setup using the PC
configuration software are included with the software download.
Advanced Configuration
The following settings cannot be configured using front panel controls:
1. Output Groups - Group multiple outputs together to share source selection, volume up/down, mute on/off, and power
on/off commands. Groups are ideal for making large areas act like a single audio zone or for grouping outputs with hi-
pass and low-pass filters (sub/sat combinations) so that they respond together. Group specific serial and IR commands
are available for source selection, volume up/down, mute on/off and power on/off. Up to 10 groups can be stored per SF-
16M. Group settings include group naming and output members.
2. Audio Override - The purpose of audio override is to provide a convenient method of temporarily switching a pre-
defined group of outputs to a specific input. Once the audio override is completed the outputs effected by the override
return to their previous input and volume levels. Typical examples of audio override include paging, doorbell tones and
local source selection for in-room sources such as iPods and audio mixers. Audio override can be triggered by two
contact closure inputs on the back of the SF-16M, as well as specific serial and IR commands. Up to 10 audio override
configurations can be set up per SF-16M. Audio override settings include input assignment, output members, output
levels, override priority and momentary or toggle mode for the audio override contact closures.
3. Sound Scenes - A sound scene is a system-wide snap shot of all volume levels and input assignments. Scenes
allow the end-user to recall previously captured system settings with a single button press. Up to 10 sound scenes can
be saved and recalled per SF-16M. Scenes can also be saved and recalled across multiple SF-16M’s linked together,
however each individual SF-16M has a maximum of 10 unit or “global” scenes. Scene settings include scene naming,
input selection, output levels, mute status and an “Ignore” option which allows a outputs to always ignore a scene preset.
4. EQ filters - Up to seven EQ filters can be applied per SF-16M output, including hi-pass/low-pass, hi-shelf/low-shelf or
seven-band parametric EQ. Parametric EQ can be used in combination with the other EQ filters.
