XPS 16K CONCEPT
XPS 16K represents the new generation of RCF four-channels DSP amplifiers, and offers a full package of extremely high-
power amplification, innovative processing and analogue/digital audio management in a single solution.
It features four, independent processed, channels of audio amplification and can optimize RCF professional speakers’ and
systems’ performance thanks to the on-board dedicated presets library. The powerful multi-DSP architecture, based on
Analog Devices SHARC platform, allows refined equalization and advanced speakers’ management strategies.
XPS implements several safety strategies, both at hardware and firmware levels, to ensure safe and continuous operability
in all operating conditions.
The main user interface is RDNet, the RCF proprietary control and monitoring software that allows to discover, configure,
monitor and control a virtually unlimited number of amplifiers. Users will find ready to use definable parametric
equalizations, multiband compressors, RCF bass shaper, air absorption compensation, delays and levels.
Most of these settings and monitored parameters are also accessible on the front capacitive 4.3’’ touch screen display,
that together with a rotary encoder provides a complete, ergonomic and user friendly HMI.
Third parties control is allowed over OSC protocol, providing interoperability, accuracy, flexibility and other advantages.

SIGNAL LINK BY-PASS
XPS 16K implements two different DSP by-pass strategies between digital inputs and outputs.
DIRECT MODE
It’s a firmware strategy that by-pass DSP in an active way,
with signal regeneration and negligible delay.
RELAY BY-PASS
It’s a hardware strategy that physically connects inputs and
outputs by closing a n.o. relay in case of absence of power
supply, in order to guarantee the integrity of the signal
path.

CONTROL
XPS 16K features 4 Gigabit Ethernet network ports,
managed by a high-performance switch compliant with
IEEE802.1 AVB standard.
Any of the LAN port can be used as in/out.
It is strongly recommended to reserve a specific
VLAN to the control communication, in order to
guarantee connection performance and
integrity.
Led 1
GREEN – flashing - link/activity
Led 2
YELLOW (LAN 1 and LAN 2) –
GREEN (LAN 3
and LAN 4) – steady – device connected to a
gigabit network.
27
DAISY CHAIN TOPOLOGY
Thanks to the internal switch, XPS 16K can be directly
connected to an ethernet network, and a daisy chain
topology can be built.
The maximum number of devices that can be connected
in daisy-chain depends on the specific user needs in
terms of latency, that necessary increases with the
number of units.
It is good practice not to connect more than 8 units in
daisy chain.
STAR TOPOLOGY
To implement a star topology an external switch is
required.
It can be connected to any of the 4 LAN ports of the
device.
Each XPS 16K device must be connected to a
different switch port.
The maximum number of devices that can be
connected in the same LAN is determined by IPv4
protocol.
28
Connecting 2 different ports of the device to the
external switch a full redundancy is achieved.
The mandatory requirement is that the external
switch must be managed and support STP.
HYBRID TOPOLOGY
A hybrid topology can also be implemented, with the constraints mentioned above.
29
DANTE
The XPS 16KD model is equipped with an Audinate
Brooklyn module, which allows XPS 16K to become a
node in a Dante digital audio distribution network.
In this configuration, LAN 3 and LAN 4 ports become
DANTE primary and secondary ports.
DAISY CHAIN TOPOLOGY
Thanks to the internal switch, XPS 16K can be directly
connected to an ethernet network (and consequently to
DANTE CONTROLLER TOOL), and a daisy chain topology
can be built.
It is strongly recommended to not exceed the number of
3 units connected in daisy chain.
Thanks to the presence of PRIMARY and SECONDARY ports, XPS 16KD allows several configurations with external
switches.
Depending on specific installation needs, it will be necessary to choose the most suitable devices and
topology.
Moreover, in order to guarantee communication robustness and avoid the loss of data packages, it is strongly
recommended to keep audio and control separated into two different vlans.
Accessing Dante module using appropriate software (e.g. Dante Controller) it is possible to switch from the default
connection mode "Switched" to "Redundant". Please refer to the Audinate documentation for connections and possible
switch configurations.
