S-1608/S-0816 Audio Inputs
The S-1608’s (S-0816’s) audio inputs are used to send source audio signals to the S-0816’s (S-1608’s)
audio outputs.
Connect the output of balanced audio devices (microphones, instrument outputs, etc.) to the
balanced audio inputs on the S-1608 (S-0816) front panel.
To connect unbalanced sources:
• use a direct box—such as the BOSS DI-1—or balancing adaptor in-line
—or—
• a cable adaptor with the following wiring:
fig.6-27.eps
To connect high-impedance sources—such as the output of an electric guitar or bass with passive
pickups—use a direct box or impedance-matching transformer in-line.
When connecting unbalanced sources that require long cable runs (over 6 meters), a direct box or
balancing adaptor placed in-line near the source is recommended for the best audio quality and noise
rejection.
Howling (feedback) could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to
speakers. This can be remedied by:
• changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
• relocating the microphone(s) to a greater distance from the speakers.
• lowering volume levels.
