Audio Authority FPM-B FlexPort Module

Audio Authority's FlexPort audio modules provide up to four additional audio inputs (2 per FlexPort input) to each SF-16M 16-channel digital zone amplifier. 

FlexPort modules connect via Cat 5 cable to the SF-16M and accept a wide variety of pro and consumer audio sources. All FlexPort modules can be located up to 500 feet from the SF-16M and include mounting points for either surface or in-wall mounting in an “open ended” single gang bracket such as Arlington model LV1 or Carlon model SC100RR.

  • Input gain potentiometer
  • Input can be assigned as Dual Mono (2 mono channels), Mono 1 or Mono 2 on the FlexPort audio bus

More Information

  • FlexPort Application Example: Restaurant with Live Music

    In this application drawing, the SF-16M amplifies audio to 6 speakers in the main dining area, 4 in the bar, 2 in the restrooms, 2 in the waiting area and 2 on the patio. The equipment rack, located in the office, includes a streaming media player, Sirius radio and a 5-disc CD changer for background music. The bar area, which includes a stage for live music, includes an FPM-X FlexPort module. The FPM-X accepts the XLR output from a local mixer at the stage. Prior to live performances the sound operator presses the FPM-X override button, which switches to his audio mixer in the dining area and the bar.  At the hostess stand, a push-to-talk microphone is connected to a FPM-B module, which overrides audio in the waiting area, restrooms and outside with paging announcements.

  • SF-16M 16-Channel Audio Matrix Amplifier

Like most Audio Authority products, the SF-16M comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
