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.
