6—Using the S-1608/S-0816 System

The S-1608 and S-0816 each feature a [REAC MODE] switch. This
switch sets the REAC behavior of each device, and determines
how audio is transferred throughout the system. Each unit’s [REAC
MODE] switch must be set properly for correct system operation.
The [REAC MODE] switch has three different settings:
•
M
—configures the unit as a Master REAC device. A Master REAC device can:
• send audio signals to Slave and Split REAC devices.
• receive audio signals from a Slave REAC device.
•
S
—configures the unit as a Slave REAC device. A Slave REAC device can:
• receive audio signals from a Master REAC device.
• send audio signals to a Master REAC device.
•
SP
—configures the unit as a Split REAC device. A Split REAC device can:
• receive audio signals from a Master REAC device (a Split device cannot send audio signals).
When setting the [REAC MODE] switches, here are the most important rules you need to know:
• There must be—and can only be—one Master REAC device in a system.
• There must be—and can only be—one Slave REAC device in a system.
• There can be many Split REAC devices in a system.
• In most circumstances, it’s best to make the main stage connection unit the Master REAC device
and the FOH unit the Slave REAC device. (This configuration allows you to split the stage audio
to multiple destinations—see Chapter 7.)
• You can expand your system by using an additional S-0816 at a “split” location. This will deliver
the 16 inputs from the Stage (Master) unit but will not allow any return channels. The additional
S-0816 will require the use of the S-4000-SP or a standard gigabit Ethernet switching hub in
order to switch the Ethernet data. Your split location S-0816 REAC mode must be set to Split (SP).
Setting the REAC Mode
If you set the REAC mode of a split location S-0816 as a REAC Slave device (S), the system will not work
properly. It creates a communication problem in the REAC routing system. In order to maintain correct
REAC routing, perform the following:
1. Turn off the power of all REAC devices according to “Powering Off” (Page 46).
2. Set the [REAC MODE] switches of all REAC devices properly.
3. Turn on the power of all REAC devices again according to “Powering Up” (Page 46).
Setting the REAC Mode
See Chapter 7 for information on setting up Split REAC devices with a REAC Splitter S-4000-SP or
Ethernet switching hub.
