6416m DC Requirements
Like most electronic devices, the 6416m will draw more than its rated
current for a very brief period of time at power up. This is called in-rush
current. This also happens when powering the unit through its DC
Backup power input. A power supply connected to this input should be
capable of sourcing 5A of in-rush current for 5ms (0.1ms rise time).
Alternately, some power supply manufacturers indicate in-rush current
sourcing capability by specifying a maximum capacitive load. In the
6416m’s case, a supply should be chosen that can handle a 2500μf load.
However, many power supplies have no specification concerning
transient current capability. In this case, a 100 watt (24V @ 4A) or greater,
power supply should be utilized. Although a 65 watt power supply is
adequate to power the 6416m, a 100 watt or greater power supply should
be capable of meeting the 6416m’s in-rush current requirements.
Both internal AC and external DC power sources can be connected
simultaneously. The AC power switch controls the AC power source
only.
A-Net Ports
Two EtherCon jacks are provided for A-Net connections, labeled A and
B. Connections can use standard RJ45-style cables or cables outfitted
with the locking EtherCon connector. Refer to the section on network
modes for additional information about using these jacks (page 17).
Balanced Mic/Line Inputs
The sixteen female XLR mic/line input jacks on the 6416m can accept
balanced mic or line-level audio signals. (Using line-level sources may
require the use of the channel pad to avoid clipping.)
