The entire family of RAD models interface with either the HAL Multiprocessors or Mongoose for digital conversion at the wall. Each converts analog audio to or from 24-bit, 48 kHz digital audio. Shielded CAT 5e (or better) cable and termination transport four digital audio channels – two channels each direction – as well as power, ground and a communications channel, with status indicators at each RAD, HAL, EXP or Mongoose unit, and Halogen or Tracker software. HAL auto-checks the CAT 5 crimp and verifies audio. All are hot-swappable with 150-meter (500-foot) homerun connections (66% farther than Ethernet). Light sensors dim the RAD indicators in dark rooms. Except for the RAD16(z), AM1, AM2, and PAGER1, all RADs mount in standard US electrical gang boxes. Most RADs are available in white, ivory, or black, with a matched Decora™ plate cover included.

The RAD16z is an alternative to standard switchboxes for impractical areas such as in stage floor pockets or above ceilings. Its form factor is a rugged metal box with flexible surface mounting options. The RAD16z is plenum-rated UL 2043.

It contains two balanced Mic / Line / Line-Plus inputs and two balanced line outputs on Euroblock connectors. Line-Plus allows a stereo unbalanced source to connect to a single balanced input and be mono'ed. Inputs are individually software switchable to Mic, Line or Line-Plus. 24?V phantom power can be enabled in software for a condenser mic.

Two Logic Inputs and Outputs interface other devices to HAL with toggles or commands, like push-to-talk or mute switches, projectors, lights, alarms, etc. Logic In connects a device contact switch between pin 1 or 2 to ground. Logic Out is 5 V high or 0 V low.

Galvanic isolation prevents current flow between the RAD and host technical grounds from interfering with audio. The RAD16z is only available in black. Mountable to any flat surface.
