Always update to the latest firmware. Download here.

The AD-1616 is a DSP Matrix for distribution of sixteen audio sources to sixteen zones. For projects that need more zones, up to four AD-1616 chassis can be combined to deliver 64 audio zones. The AD-1616 enables seamless routing of both digital and analog sources to any desired zone and features a comprehensive set of DSP controls. This includes a 5-band parametric EQ, allowing integrators to fine-tune acoustic characteristics and tailor sound to specific spaces, plus mixing and auto-ducking features facilitate seamless integration of microphones and doorbells, effortlessly prioritizing audio sources and ensuring smooth transitions. Configuration and DSP functions can be customized directly within Integration Designer or with the intuitive web GUI, enabling the AD-1616 to work in standalone mode or within another control system environment.

For amplification, we recommend pairing the AD-1616 with the RTI CP-16i 16 Channel ICEPower® Amplifier.

For projects that need more zones, up to four AD-1616 chassis can be combined to deliver 64 zones.
