Note:
The BLU link network ring must be closed for the BLU link fault tolerance feature to
work. The fault tolerance feature ensures audio will still pass through the network if one of the
cables in the BLU link network is compromised. This means that when TR1616s are being used
as a digital snake, the TR1616s on both sides of the snake connection must complete the BLU
link ring. If using a single TR1616 on either side of the snake connection and no other BLU link
devices are connected, such as PMC16s, the LOOP OUT port should be connected to the LOOP IN
port to close the BLU link ring, as shown below. See page 12 to see full diagram.
