RAD16z

The RAD16 is a popular device for adding flexible I/O capability to Halogen systems. The new RAD16z adds fur-

ther flexibility with the following improvements:

Two universal Mic/Line/Line-Plus inputs

Two logic inputs and two logic outputs

Improved audio performance

500-volt galvanic isolation from RAD port

Same plenum-rated chassis as RAD16

How To Use

The RAD16z covers applications possible with the original RAD16 with significant improvements qualifying it

for even more applications, while still having the same plenum rating as RAD16. Most notably, it covers appli-

cations where galvanic isolation, logic I/O and universal Mic/Line/Line-Plus inputs are needed.

The addition of Logic I/O allows a RAD16z to support operations like push-to-talk microphones, preset recall,

lighting and projector screen control. The RAD Port of the device features 500 volt galvanic isolation, a useful
