PRS‑16MCI Multichannel Interface
www.boschsecurity.com

The PRS-16MCI is part of the Praesideo network and
acts as an interface to the Praesideo basic amplifiers
that do not provide network connectivity. The unit is
intended for public address and emergency sound
systems. The multichannel interface provides 16
configurable output channels (14 main outputs and
two spare outputs). It provides the audio signals to
the basic amplifiers and has full control over the
amplifiers. It supervises itself and the connected basic
amplifiers, and reports fault events to the Praesideo
network controller.
The unit should be mounted in a 19"-rack with the
included mounting brackets.
Functions
This unit is the interface between the Praesideo
network and the Praesideo basic amplifiers. It can get
its power from the amplifiers it is connected to, or
from the network. It has 16 audio channels for up to
14 main amplifiers (zones) and two spare amplifiers.
These can be assigned from a non-mixing matrix of 28
Praesideo channels. There are connections for 32
control inputs and 16 control outputs.

Complete supervision

The interface provides supervision for the unit itself,
as well as all connected basic amplifiers. The interface
monitors the functions of the amplifiers, and can
activate a spare amplifier to replace one that reports a
fault. It has loop-through in and outputs, supporting
failsafe mode, which pass emergency calls through,
even if the unit itself fails. A controller for multiple-line
and loudspeaker supervision is a standard component.
The interface can be configured for redundant group
A/B switching, or for class-A loop wiring of the
connected basic amplifiers. All configuration is done
with software over the network.
Controls and indicators

• 16 two-color LEDs for amplifier channel status
• Two-color LED for network status

Interconnection

• Two system network connectors
• 32 RJ45 jacks for basic amplifiers
• Female XLR-3 connector for failsafe audio loopthrough input
• Male XLR-3 connector for failsafe audio loop-through
and supervision
• 32 control inputs on removable Euro-style screw
terminals
• 16 control outputs on removable Euro-style screw
terminals
