Overview
FPM-D accepts 2-channel PCM and converts it to stereo analog audio for the SonaFlex system via Cat 5, and analog outputs for local systems. Ideal for sources such as AppleTV. FlexPort™ Audio Input Transmitters serve as remote input modules for SonaFlex™ SF-16M Matrix Amplifiers. FlexPort transmitters are available in several different styles, including balanced line/mic, XLR, digital SPDIF and analog RCA audio signals. Audio signals are transmitted to an SF-16M via Cat 5e/6/7 cable up to 500 feet and made available to specified amplified outputs, and can be shared with up to three additional SF-16M amplifiers. Each transmitter has a convenient override button.

Key Features

•     Provides convenient remote input point for audio sources such as streaming media players, satellite boxes, computers, MP3 players, CD and DVD players
•     Output jacks available on the wallplate for local TV or stereo systems
•     Convenient Override switch provides a simple user interface at the transmitter location
•     Differential balanced line technology eliminates interference, enabling FlexPort transmitters to be located up to 500 feet away from the SF-16M without signal degradation
•     Up to four FlexPort transmitters may be used with one SF-16M
•     Simple connection via one Cat 5/6/7 cable; daisy chain two FlexPort transmitters on each SF-16M input

About the SonaFlex SF-16M
The SF-16M digital matrix amplifier is a unique blend of multi-channel amplification, flexible input options, audio matrix switching, signal processing and open control capability. Designed and assembled in the U.S. with sound and video integrators in mind, the SF-16M offers a new approach to commercial and residential distributed audio applications - one multi-purpose matrix amplifier that can be used in a variety of installations.

•     Input switching, signal processing, and amplification in one unified system
•     16 analog RCA inputs combined with four Cat 5 “FlexPort” input channels allow for a total 20 mono/10 stereo matrixed inputs
•     16 amplified outputs can be configured as mono, stereo, or a combination of stereo and mono
•     Up to four SF-16M units can be linked together to form a powerful 16 input x 64 output audio matrix, plus FlexPort inputs
•     Linear power supply delivers the warmth and musicality of an analog amplifier, combined with the responsiveness and headroom required for dynamic music content
•     DSP tools include hi- and low-shelf filters, hi- and low-pass filters, and up to seven bands of parametric equalization per output
•     10 audio overrides (triggered by contact closure, IR, or RS-232, commands) provide a convenient method to switch to alternate audio inputs for appplications such as paging, local source selection, and room combining
•     10 preset sound scenes (a system-wide snap-shot of all volume and source settings) can be saved and recalled using IR, RS-232 or IP commands
•     10 audio groups allow multiple outputs to be grouped to share volume ramping, muting, and source selection
•     Compatible with virtually any control system available using RS-232, Ethernet or IR commands- NEW Control4 Driver for SF-16M Control4 Driver for SF-16M (110.55 KiB)

Compatible FlexPort Cat 5 Audio Transmitters

•     FPM-U accepts one stereo audio source or two mono sources for transmission to the SF-16M
•     FPM-X accepts mic or line audio, via XLR or 1/4 inch jack, from microphone or mixer outputs
•     FPM-B accepts balanced audio from mixers, microphones, or balanced audio sources includes override connection for push to talk microphones
