Chapter 1: Introduction
The S1616A is the culmination of twenty-three years of ELAN experience in the design and
perfection of multi-source/multi-zone controllers and amplifiers. Incorporating the features and
reliability that has made ELAN a firmly established manufacturer of multi-room A/V products, the
S1616A is ELAN’s most powerful and flexible multi-source/multi-zone controller to date. The
S1616A is an integrated controller and amplifier whose inputs and outputs may be flexibly
configured in either stereo or mono. Used in Single Chassis configuration the S1616A allows for 8
stereo inputs or 16 mono inputs or for combinations of stereo/mono as the project requires.
Alternatively, the S1616A may be used in Dual Chassis configuration that provides sixteen stereo
inputs and sixteen stereo outputs per Dual Chassis pair. In Single Chassis mode up to sixteen
S1616A units can be linked for a total of 128 stereo outputs or 256 mono outputs. In Dual Chassis
mode eight pairs of S1616A units can be linked together providing 128 stereo outputs. The S1616A
is a dedicated g! system device and requires an HC series controller for configuration and
operation.
This unit has been designed with ultimate flexibility in mind. Allowing operation from all g!
interfaces, including iPad and iPhone, and being ultimately expandable the S1616A is the perfect
solution for mid to large audio and control systems. Multiple control methods combine with
expandability to offer the perfect solution for larger audio/video and automation control systems.
The ELAN Story
Located in Carlsbad, CA USA, ELAN is a part of The AVC Group, a collection of integration-centric
brands. ELAN has designed innovative multi-room audio/video systems since 1989. ELAN systems
were the first to integrate music, intercom and TV distribution features that used the homeowner’s
stereos, televisions and telephones to create the whole-house entertainment experience. These
systems allow people to move from room to room, controlling centrally located equipment with
ease.

Chapter 2: System Design and Applications
Introduction
The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house
floor plan with speaker, touchpad, touchscreen, volume control, and equipment locations etc.
Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all necessary
wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing with other components
such as amplifiers, source components, communications controllers, serial controllers, and user
interfaces, so it is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire
stage.
Secondly, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment, touchpads,
touchscreens, volume controls, amplifiers, communications gear and the S1616A itself. Be sure to
include necessary electrical boxes, structured wiring enclosures, telephone lines, rough-in
brackets, patch cords, power supplies, etc.
Design
The S1616A is a very flexible controller and as such many design opportunities exist.
Understanding the capabilities of the S1616A is critical. What follows are design definitions that will
help you maximize the capabilities of the S1616A in your installations.
Amplifier Mode
Information about Amplifier Mode is available in the S1616A Amplifier Mode Instruction Manual
available at www.elanhomesystems/dealer.

Multi-Zone Operation
When used as a multi-zone controller amplifier the S1616A has two chassis options – Single
Chassis or Dual Chassis. These distinctions apply primarily to how the inputs are configured.
Additional S1616As (referred to as Units in this manual) will share identical input configurations as
the first chassis.
Single Chassis Mode
The Single Chassis system provides 8 stereo inputs or 16 mono inputs or any combination in
between. Figure 2-1 shows the input configuration options for a Single Chassis installation.
Whether an input is stereo or mono, the S1616A automatically adapts it to the stereo and mono
outputs.
Single Chassis Mono/Stereo
Mono Inputs Stereo Inputs
0 8
1/2 7
3/4 6
5/6 5
7/8 4
9/10 3
11/12 2
13/14 1
15/16 0
Figure 2-1
In systems configured for use with a C2 communication controller input pair 15/16 is automatically
set to mono and input 16 is used for the C2. In this configuration a maximum of seven stereo
sources and one mono source are allowed. Figure 2-2 indicates how to connect seven stereo
sources and one mono source along with a C2.
