SF-16M CONNECTIONS - Speaker Outputs
The SF-16M includes 16 amplified audio outputs that can be configured as mono, stereo or a combination of both mono
and stereo. Figure 6, shown below, provides examples of each configuration.
NOTE: It is important that all physical speaker output configurations are entered into the SF-16M programming, using the
PC configuration software or the front panel system menu.
Figure 6
Speakers and Impedance
Each amplfier output of the SF-16M can support a 4 Ohm speaker load. In many cases only a single speaker is con-
nected per amplifier output, so any speaker with a 4 - 8 Ohm impedance rating is acceptable with the SF-16M. However,
in cases where you may wish to connect more than one speaker per output, it is important that you understand speaker
impedance and basic Ohms law.
There are numerous resources which explain imped-
ance and ohms law in detail, so we will not cover
it here. However, for practical purposes, we have
included a chart (Figure 7) which lists a specific limit
on how many speakers can be loaded onto a single
SF-16M amplifier output.

Figure 7 - Wiring multiple speakers per amplifier output.
NOTE: this table assumes that all speakers on a single channel
are of the same impedance and are connected in parallel. If you
wish to mix a combination of speakers with different impedances
on one channel it will be crucial to use an impedance calculator.
Please visit the SF-16M product page at audioauthority.com to use
our online SF-16M impedance calculator. In all cases, it is impera-
tive that total speaker impedance for any one channel does not go
below 4 Ohms.
